We are moving from Bristol to Inverness. We've have a cherry tree and a pear tree in pots for the last 3 years and this year both have produced fruit for the first time. Are they likely to suffer if we move them to a Scottish climate. Thankyou
It may, actually, improve fruiting, as they will get a more thorough chill period!
Here are some articles that will help:
I have a 4 month old fruit cocktail tree. It has a lot of branches and some growing from the root. Do I cut any or leave all to grow?
You need to cut the suckers off at the base. Here's some info:

hi can you help with my trouble the fruit trees i am arsking about are in pots big pots but they all have just compost in no soil is that what is wrong thank you for your time kenneth wright
Unfortunately, you need to mix just a small amount of compost into soil, or it will burn your trees.

There is a tree near my home with a fruit that I am unsure of. I think that the fruit looks like some images of the passion fruit but I'm not sure because the fruit that I have found is not completely smooth surfaced. Can you think of any other fruits that may be also and send images please? This is a photo after I bag ripened them for 3 days.
It doesn't look like one to me. It is hard to say what it is without seeing the inside. It is a very non-descript fruit. See what the inside looks like. That will give you a better idea of what this is.
I could use your help idetifying the cause of a problem in my yard. My Location is NW Arizona(Kingman) with an altitude of 3400 ft. New growth appears stunted/dwarfed on several fruit trees and rose bushes. I do not see any aphids or other pests, some leaves have small holes. The attached pictures show a mature fruit bearing plum that has produced no fruit this year.
If it is in roses and fruit trees, it may be the result of the use of chemicals or drift of chemicals used by a neighbor. If the symptom is only present in the roses, consider chemicals and-or Rose Rosette Disease.
I wasn't sure if this question went through the first time, so sorry if it went through twice! 1) Patio Apple Tree (it's done growing at about five feet): It got so crooked in its pot that the bamboo support rods don't help and it looks pretty unhappy. Any ideas how to adjust it with minimal root damage? Bird Cherry Tree? (I think): is there any chance this small tree / giant shrub might be okay in a small pot? If it does need repotted, any pointers on how to get it out of a stone pot? Incidentally, I realise planting it in a stone pot wasn't the best plan -- the story behind how it got there is silly and long-winded! 2) The last few winters were unseasonably warm, so neither tree lost its leaves entirely. I worried they might not have been dormant and, if so, pruning them might have caused shock. Should they be pruned anyway? Thank you very much!
I would prune the apple tree to make the branching lighter. It also may need to be repotted to facilitate it standing straight. If it's hardy in your area I would plant it in the ground.

You can prune in spring if the leaves are still on the trees.
I think your tree will come out of the stone pot if you lay it sideways on the ground and pull the tree out. You may need to loosen the sides with a long tool.
I have recently started visiting my village house. I have noticed the area is very dry hot and near the coast line. I dont like it at all i have pleant of space but the soil is the problem which for sure i can work on to improve, secondly i dont know what fruits to grow there because i want a garden to be full of fruit trees where when me and my family come so we can admire the nature the whole neighborhood can take benefit from the city name is GWADAR. I dont have clear images for the sand but i have some pictures for a reference kindly guide me how to make the soil better and fruits would grow there.
It seems that you will want to aim for tropical fruits that have a tolerance for dry weather. This can be tricky. Here are some recommendations:
