hi i am thinking of planting a small fruit tree of some sort and also forsythia (think thats how you spell it!) but as i am no gardener by any stretch of the imagination can any one advise when i should start to think about this please ( the fruit tree or bush is to attract more birds any ideas) thanks in advance
Hi Nanny
Nice idea to plant these for the birds,
The fruit trees have to be planted out in september, october time, as they are now in blossom
it's the wrong time of year, you may be able to find some in pots in the garden centres now, then you can plant
them out later, same with the fosythia, the garden centres will have them in stock when it's time to plant
them out.
