- Keep canes that are bearing fruit moist throughout the summer. Remove old canes after they have finished producing fruit.
- If your fruit trees appear to be producing to much fruit, make sure you thin it out some.
- Make sure that the grass around your fruit trees is kept short. Grass deprives the trees of nitrogen.
- Mulch and add compost to rhubarb plants to keep the soil moist and prevent weed growth.
- Only allow strawberry plants to grow two runners. Remove all other runners.
- Weed around berry plants. Be carefull of shallow roots.
- Water blueberries, gooseberries and currents often during hot weather.
- Throw away any fruit you find that have been affected by scab (a fungus)
