Container trees need a bit more attention than trees planted straight into the ground. All our experts underline the benefits of repotting every other spring and replacing around one third of the soil with fresh compost to give them a nutrient boost. Jonathan advises mixing the new soil with a slow-release fertiliser. “I’m a fan of blood, fish and bone,” Edward adds. “It promotes healthy root growth and is a long-lasting feed.” Jonathan suggests then feeding your potted trees with liquid seaweed or tomato feed throughout the growing season. Edward recommends a potash fertiliser every two to three weeks. “It will keep the tree invigorated and fed enough to produce sizeable fruits,” he says.
