Fruit Trees and Clay Soil
Hi all
How likely am I to succeed with fruit trees in clay soil. Ideally I would like to grow a plum tree - victoria would be nice. But... The sunniest spot in the garden gets maybe 6 hours of afternoon sun at the height of summer. The ground is heavy clay - can I improve it locally to support fruit tree growth (if so how)? I have read that victorias need free draining soil! Are plum trees available on different root stock? I would want to have a max height of 2.5-3m, not the 4m I have seen on victoria label at the local gardening centre. Would I necessarily need 2 trees for cross fertilising? Thanks in anticipation Phil |
