So I have this lovely apricot tree in my backyard of the house I bought last year, and need some tips on how to safely treat it so that I can eat the fruit before the bugs do! It has started blossoming (yay Spring!!) so it won't be too long before I have fruit!
It had loads of fruit last year but as I've never had a fruit tree before (or my own garden to look after ) I didn't do anything to the tree and the bugs promptly ate all my fruit
So I'm hoping the garden gurus can let me know how to treat the tree so I can enjoy my "home grown" apricots this year Whatever I do, it needs to be safe for dogs as the tree is in their backyard!
Additionally, does anyone know what sort of contraption I could put under the tree to catch the fruit so the dogs don't get to the ones that drop on the ground?
Thanks!
