I have (had!) an apple tree, it has 3 types of apple on it...... now because im doing our garden it had to be moved from the barrel it was in to somewhere else :roll:

1st i put it in a large pot, but although i watered it loads, with all the hot weather we had, it seemed to be dying.....
so ive moved it again, to a shaded place, ive watered it well and have also fed it......
anyone got any ideas what else i can do to try and save it??

Ive not got my grren fingers yet :wink: so any ideas would be great.

The best gardening advice I was ever given was: always plant green side up! :lol:
