Dwarf Yellow Fruit Tree Collection

This collection of self-fertile Fruit Me dwarf fruit trees with yellow fruits allows for delicious harvests of apricots, peaches, and nectarines even in a small garden or in containers on a terrace. It brings together 3 excellent varieties: 'Fruit Me Apricot Me Pending', 'Fruit Me Peach Me Red', and 'Fruit Me Necta Me'. Grown in pots, these small trees do not exceed 2 m (7ft) high and have a spread of 1.50 m (5ft). They are highly decorative with their spring blossom, self-fertile, and their beautiful tasty fruits can be harvested from mid-July until August. The small size of these trees also makes harvesting easier.

This collection consists of:

- x 1 Fruit Me Dwarf Apricot Tree 'Apricot Me Pending': a variety with a beautiful pinkish-white blossom in March. It produces oblong apricots that are 5 cm (2in) in diameter, weighing approximately 40 to 50 grams. The velvety, orange skin, orange, speckled with red, encloses firm, juicy, sweet flesh with a subtle acidity. Harvest from mid-July.

This variety produces round peaches with velvety skin, 5-6 cm (2in) in diameter, reddish-orange when ripe, with yellow flesh that is sweet and tasty.

- x 1 Fruit Me Dwarf Nectarine Tree 'Necta Me': pink blossom in March-April. This variety produces round nectarines that are 5-6 cm (2in) in diameter covered with a smooth, yellow skin, strongly tinged with red. Their golden yellow flesh is juicy, sweet, and fragrant. Harvest from mid-July to August.

'Fruit Me' is a series of semi-dwarf fruit trees that are quite revolutionary, recently developed in Spain. All the fruit trees in this range are grafted onto a state-of-the-art rootstock that adapts to the available soil volume while allowing for high-quality fruiting from the first years of cultivation. Fruit Me trees are also self-fertile, easy to grow, hardy, reliable, and less susceptible to diseases. One tree of each variety is sufficient to obtain fruits. Pruning is not necessary. In the ground, these fruit trees will reach a height of less than 3 m (10ft) with a spread of approximately 1.5 m (5ft).

You can plant these fruit trees from October to March in the ground. If you grow them in containers, planting is possible throughout the year except during frost or heatwaves. They will need a sunny exposure to flower and fruit abundantly. In the ground, space the plants at least 1 m (3ft) apart, or even 1.50 m (5ft). Dig a wide planting hole at least 3 times the volume of the rootball. Add organic matter (compost, potting soil...) and a slow-release fertiliser such as horn meal. Do not bury the graft union. Stake if necessary. Water abundantly, even in winter and even if it rains.

In containers: choose a large volume container, 30 to 50 litres, with drainage holes. Use a mixture of topsoil and high-quality potting soil. Regular applications of fruit tree fertiliser will be necessary, as well as regular watering, to obtain generous harvests.
