Moving Apple Tree: Pot - to garden

Hi all,

First time post here...we are looking to move a small Apple Tree that we inhereted when we moved in here from its current pot into the garden now we are coming to the end of some work.

Just looking for advice please on what sort/mix of soil nutriants we should be looking for if possible and perhaps when is the best time to do so - currently we have  pretty well drained garden and there appears to be quite a bit of landfill and going back in time the area was a quarry.

Attached pictures are of the tree in its current pot and proposed area it is to go.

Any help and guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

  • Mmmm..good points, Thanks. I don't think it has grown too much 
     in the last three years since we moved in - it does (or did) have quite a bit of blossom and bore quite a few fruit - probably a bit better each year.

    It could probably do with some pruning to hopefully encourage a less "spread" growth ?

    Thanks.
