The main points for success with planting and training fruit trees are:

• Prepare the planting hole well.
• Care for the tree and train it while it's young.
• Prune it each year to keep it healthy and productive.
• Pay attention to good orchard hygiene.
• Don't stress over pruning! Even if you get it wrong, the tree will still produce some fruit.
