Planted some full size trees this spring. All are doing great. With the wet summer; there has been no need to water. But
1. If things do dry out; how late into sep/oct would you water?
2. What about the second year, do you water?
3. I didn't fertilize when I planted them. Do you guys add anything in the spring?
4. Do any of you mulch? I was thinking about it but got lazy. Plenty of weeds around the trees; but it doesn't see to have affected them.
5.Finally, Anyone prune starting the second year?
PS- thanks to the guy that recomended going with full size trees. I have struggled with dwarfs and semi dwarfs for years. These full size ones have really taken. It will take many years to see the fruit; but at least they aren't dead. I bought the trees from St Lawerence coutny in upstate NY. They pride themselves on providing hardy trees. I must say I was a little skepticle when my 15 trees came lashed to a 5 foot pole and were about 6 inches in diameter, all trees combined; but I can't complain about how the look now.
