Rooting space for the fruit garden
Fruit brings the garden to life
Blossom, foliage and fruit change the garden through the seasons. The pictured apricot is one example of stone fruit; each type needs its own position and care.

Choose a dedicated acidic compost for blueberries and other strong acid-lovers. This growing medium is not a blanket recommendation for every berry species.
Compost & root space
The old root-ball compost and fresh growing medium can have different moisture levels. Check both during establishment. Free drainage remains as important as sufficient watering.
Repotting: the complete process
Fill gently with fresh compost
Add growing medium around the root ball in small portions. Allow for a watering rim, the correct planting depth and drainage. Eight illustrated steps guide the complete repotting process.
For rooted fruit trees in containers. Bare-root planting and planting in garden ground need preparation matched to the existing soil.
-
Check the plant and position
Identify species, rootstock, eventual size and position. These steps describe repotting a rooted fruit tree; use dedicated acidic compost for blueberries.
-
Prepare the container
Choose a stable container with drainage. Keep holes open; an outer pot must not collect water around the root ball.
-
Moisten the root ball
Check moisture before removing the pot. Gently rehydrate a dry root ball so old and new compost can take up water more evenly.
-
Release the plant carefully
Loosen the pot from the sides and support the root ball. Do not pull on the crown or graft union. Assess badly circling or damaged roots rather than routinely pruning roots hard.
-
Check depth and graft union
Add some compost and establish the previous planting depth. Keep the stem base and graft union exposed or at the specified height for the particular fruit type.
-
Fill around the sides
Add compost around the root ball in portions and firm gently. Close large voids without compacting the root zone; leave a watering rim at the top.
-
Water thoroughly
Water slowly to settle compost against the root ball. Allow excess water to drain and check stability again.
-
Support establishment
Check moisture in both the old root ball and fresh compost in the following weeks. Account for the nutrients included and begin subsequent feeding after 4–6 weeks according to plant needs.
Stay attentive after planting
Check root-zone moisture
Check new plantings and containers regularly. Water thoroughly when needed, allow drainage and check soil beneath mulch. Pay particular attention during fruit development and dry spells.
Distinguish dormancy from blossom frost
Hardy garden species remain outdoors; protect container roots from severe freezing. Later, open flowers are often more sensitive than dormant wood, so watch forecasts and local late frost.
For later feeding: Guava Fertiliser.
Choose the plant, soil and compost together
Choose a dedicated acidic compost for blueberries and other strong acid-lovers. This growing medium is not a blanket recommendation for every berry species.
Feeding, pruning and pollination depend on the fruit species. Choosing compost is one part of care, not a yield guarantee.
Get to know fruit plants
Plant group
A usage group comprising pome fruit, stone fruit and berry bushes, rather than one botanical family.
Position
Usually a sunny, airy position with sufficient rooting space and drainage. Currants also tolerate partial shade. Avoid frost pockets; blueberries require a separate acidic root environment.
Propagation & grafting
Many fruit trees are grafted: the cultivar determines key fruit characteristics, while the rootstock influences vigour and site adaptation. Do not cover a graft union with soil without checking the particular planting instructions.

Read moreQuick answers before you buy (FAQ)
Which plants is this compost intended for?
The bag label covers fruit trees, columnar fruit and trained fruit plants, including nut trees. The source gives apples, pears, cherries and plums as examples. Match soil and position to the particular plant.
Can I use it for blueberries?
Choose a dedicated acidic compost for blueberries and other strong acid-lovers. This growing medium is not a blanket recommendation for every berry species.
Is this compost peat-free?
No. The original label lists raised-bog peat and other plant-derived and mineral materials. No unverified peat percentage is added.
When should supplementary feeding start?
The bag label calls for supplementary feeding to begin after 4–6 weeks. Account for the particular plant’s needs, growth phase and existing nutrient supply.
Will one bag fill my container?
The bag contains 10 litres. You need the new space around the existing root ball, not automatically the full container volume. Allow a watering rim.
Can it replace all the soil in my garden?
The compost is also intended for planting in garden ground. Assess the root zone and existing soil; a small planting hole filled with new compost does not correct widespread compaction or waterlogging.
