Planting potted plants.
Potted fruit plants should be planted at the right depth, so that the grafting point is not buried and the upper part of the root system is at ground level. Once the plants have been planted, it's a good idea to compact the soil around them, mixing it with an organic fertilizer to create a sort of basin. Wet the basin with about 20 liters of water so that the soil adheres to the root ball without leaving air bubbles. The recommended planting distances for fruit trees—that is, apricots, cherries, chestnuts, quinces, figs, apples, walnuts, pears, peaches, and plums—are as follows: 4.50–5.00 m between plants along the rows; 5.50–6.00 m between rows. These distances can be significantly reduced for apple, pear, and other dwarf fruit trees or those grafted onto less vigorous rootstocks.
Planting Seasons
It's best to plant fruit trees in late autumn, that is, in the months of November and December (before the first frosts), although later planting is also possible in midwinter if the ground isn't frozen. Another good time for planting is February–March, or at the latest until mid-April. Only if the plants were previously grown in pots can planting be done in the following months, taking due care and keeping the root ball intact. Fruit trees grow well in well-fertile, deep, and permeable soil. If, however, the soil is very clayey and rather compact, it is advisable to provide deep drainage.
NB . The ripening times of all fruit plants can be early or late even by a week or more, depending on the exposure and the climate.
