Planting - do not attempt to plant your fruit trees when the ground is frozen or waterlogged. The trees can be stored in their packaging in an outbuilding or garage for 2-3 days, or can be heeled into the soil where the ground is not as frozen. Alternatively, plant up in large pots or containers and ensure the roots have good contact with the soil.

Six of the Best
An all-purpose apple, this is one of my early season favourites. Slightly less sweet than other popular varieties such as 'Discovery'. It also cooks beautifully, keeping its shape, so makes a fine tarte Tatin. The juice is aromatic and sweet. Truly one apple to rule them all. - Fruit Expert, David Patch
