Dirt DIARIES

3 small trees with unusual fruits • They like cool winters and hot summers, will fit perfectly into small gardens, and two will even grow in large pots. You should just give them enough sun, regular water, and a monthly feed with a fertiliser for flowers and fruit from September to February. If you control fruit flies and codling moths with bait, your reward will be exotic-tasting, very healthy fruits growing on pretty trees…
