Fruit Plant Transplants Tutorial

About Fruit Plant Transplants Tutorial Android App

Plants should be located in an area of the garden where they will not be disturbed. Sunlight is important to this productive plant, so make sure it will get full morning sun and a little shade in the afternoon.

Rich, well-drained soil is a good new home. Clay or sand should be amended with organic matter. Before planting, spade the soil to a depth of 12-16 inches and mix in well-rotted manure or compost, a little peat moss, and a little bone meal. For every two shovelfuls of dirt that comes out of the hole, mix in a shovel of organic matter.

Plants may be purchased or they may be obtained by dividing established crowns of old plants in the spring. Transplant as early as possible so they have time to settle in before their long winter's nap.

If you have root divisions with no leaves, follow these directions:

Dig the hole at least 18 inches deep and 18 inches in diameter.
Amend the soil as described above.
Re-fill the hole with amended dirt to within six inches of ground level.
Water thoroughly to settle. Allow the water to drain away.
Place root divisions 4-6 inches below the soil level.
Cover with soil.
Make a ring around the area where the division will come up, forming a cup shape.
Sit back and wait for new leaves to appear!
