Commonly Asked Questions
How do I look after my Serpentine?
Serpentines have been carefully crafted onto rio rod (1 per plant). You can extend the arms with additional supports and allow for future growth. You can also prune your plant so it remains smaller, depending on the look you are after and your garden size.
How do I get my Apple Espalier to produce delicious fruit?
Apples need water while they are young and establishing; however well, draining soil is necessary. As the plant matures, the water needs will decrease. A well-hydrated plant will produce juicy fruit. The location of the Espalier is especially important, as stone fruit will prefer a full sun location. Look into disease prevention to ensure your plant is healthy and use a gentle fertiliser suitable for apples. Good draining is also necessary, as apples don’t like wet roots. A layer of mulch will also help keep the moisture in the soil. Pruning will also encourage good apple production. Apples require two different varieties to be planted either in the same garden or in neighboring gardens, this will encourage the bees to cross pollinate and the plant to product juicy and delicious fruit.
