Planting Potted Plants

Potted fruit trees 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 are planted, it's a good idea to compact the soil around them, mixing it with an organic fertilizer, creating 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 arboreal fruit trees, i.e., apricot, cherry, chestnut, quince, fig, apple, walnut, pear, peach, and plum trees, are: 4.50/5.00 m between plants along the rows, and 5.50/6.00 m between rows. These distances can be significantly reduced in the case of dwarf apple, pear, and other fruit trees or those grafted onto rootstocks of reduced vigor.
Planting Periods

Planting fruit trees is best done in late autumn, i.e., in the months of November and December (before the frost), although planting at a later date in midwinter is also possible in the absence of frost. of frozen soil. Another ideal 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, with due caution and maintaining the root ball intact. Fruit trees grow well in fertile, deep, and permeable soil. If the soil is very clayey and rather compact, it is advisable to ensure deep drainage.
NB : The ripening times of all fruit trees can be early or late, even by a week or more, depending on exposure and climate.
