How to harvest fruit in your garden

There's nothing like the feeling of being able to walk out to your garden and pick fruit fresh off the tree.

When your fruit trees are young, remove a third of the fruit to allow your tree to put it's energy into producing larger, higher quality fruit. Make sure to feed and water well at this time to give your tree the nutrients it needs to produce well.

When your fruit is ready to harvest, take a sharp pair of secateurs and snip the fruit, cutting just above the stem of the fruit instead of pulling off the tree, this will help to keep your fruit fresher for longer.
