Planted My 2 Year Old Braeburn Apple Tree

Well done, Jacque, you have been very busy. Very intrigued to know what else was growing in the pot but I will be patient. Look foward to seeing pictures of first apples on the tree. You also made me feel guilty because I have still to plant my 2 winter jasmines :)

Thanx Gee im sure the Jasmines can wait for u :)

Yes well done Jacque i also cannot wait for next blog.

Well done Jacque, do you ever sit down!!! I think you may get apples before you get walnuts, lol. Looks like you've done a professional job and wow, your soil looks nice. D

Oh, Jacque. I just left a comment on your photos about what kind of tree is this? Now I know. I obviously read the blog and pictures the wrong way around. Ooops.

Excellent work. You have done well. I hope you get lots of lovely apples.

Good job well done Jacque,I am also curious about what you found and if you fancy pruning I have 2 very large apple trees desperate for a haircut.,lol.

Jacque - you would find the tree will establish better without that grass replaced around it. This will allow the rain to reach the roots and reduce competition for food in the soil

Thanx Andrewr i put the Grass back on top as i thought the frost mite harm its roots? But if u say its best removed il do that in Morning :) Thanx Again 4 your Help x

Jacque , I love the fact the you read up on the correct way to do these things and prepare first ., another good job done :o)

Dont worry about the Other Comment Gilli i do that all the time lol ,The Soil is Nice in some parts of the Garden Dawn but in others its Clay/Stones which holds a lot of water :/ thats why iv planted the Tree here cos its a little higher ground than other parts of the Graden :)As 4 Prunning More Trees LLass think il have a Break now for next 12 months lol :)Have u found that other Blog yet Clarice? :)

Thanx Amy i do enjoy reading about Gardening & learning stuff iv not done b4 ,That way when uv done something once u learn how its done & can do it again :) & with Fab Members like Andrewr around u know any mistakes or alittle extra help 2 teach u/us is a Bonus :)

It's great to have a new apple tree Jacque. I wonder if it will produce fruit this year.

Well done Jacque....lovely juicy apples braeburns....our blackbirds would love them !

Yes, I agree with Andrew. When our tree surgeon planted our new Ash tree 2 years ago, he left a large circle and mulched it with bark, as well. So now, whenever I plant trees I do the same - he is the expert after all.

I hope it grows well and produces apples soon - well, soon in apple tree years, anyway!

Thanx Spritz its great 2 have guidance from Yourself & Andrewr who know that bit more than Myself XXX

Well, I had to learn that, so I thought I'd pass it on. I am not an expert, just a learner like you, Jacque!

J: You'll be producing cider before you know where you are, lol. Or probably you've just grown it so the birds benefit from the droppers, lol.
