Productive gardens need planning, weeding, feeding and watering. I’d love to say: “Plant this tree or bush now and you’ll have fruit all winter”. Sadly, all I can offer is: “Plant oranges, mandarins, lemons, Tahitian limes, grapefruit, tangelos, late varieties of apples, winter pears, chestnuts, macadamias, hazelnuts, quinces and just possibly avocados and dwarf red bananas if you have a spot sheltered from the wind and will keep them protected for about five years. Wait four to seven years and you’ll have far too much fruit unless your friends are excellent cooks”.
