The Fruit Garden in December
Overview:
Normally there is very little to do in the fruit garden this month apart from perhaps removing fallen leaves that may have collected in and around the fruit trees / shrubs.
Note: As with most advice on gardening the advisors location will often influence the content of the advice.
To alleviate this problem I have produced this chart indicating how you can make adjustments to the timing of events as seen in this website.
I hope you find this useful! .......Tg
