Frequently asked questions
Do these trees produce fruit without another tree?
Some varieties set fruit with a single tree, but yields are often better with a compatible pollinizer nearby. If you want reliable fruiting, choose two compatible varieties when possible.
When do they bloom in Northern California?
Bloom timing varies by variety and winter weather, but many bloom in late winter through early spring in the Bay Area.
How much sun do they need?
Full sun is best for flowering and fruiting. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sun daily.
What soil and watering do they prefer?
Well-drained soil is key. Water deeply while establishing, then keep a consistent schedule during hot, dry periods—avoid soggy roots.
How big do they get?
Size depends on variety and rootstock. Many stay manageable with annual pruning; plan space for both canopy width and airflow.
When should I prune?
Light structural pruning after flowering is common. Remove crossing branches and maintain an open center for sunlight and airflow.
