Default Planting bare root Victoria Plum tree questions.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers, Jake
=======================================
Urgling happily from the dryer end of Swansea Bay.

What I did is to dig in Blood Fish and Bone at the bottom of the hole and
used 50/50 soil and compost to plant the tree quite firmly.
Pruned and sealed with emulsion.
This tree is comming on in leaps and bounds.
It has only been planted a couple of days and already we can see new
greenery sprouting all over.
Too early to tell, but it looks like this tree is going to set root and
bear some fruit for us, not this year it is well behind but maybe next
year? A waiting game now.

Thanks for your help and advice, Jake. I will continue to let you know how
we get on with this.
