Susanna Lyle says in her book - Discovering Fruit and Nuts
"Trees grow best in fertile, organic-matter rich, deep, loose soil. Trees need regular moisture, though they need less during colder weather. established tree can withstand short periods of drought. Although they like moisture, they need their soil to be free draining: tree succumb rapidly to any waterlogging. Although trees can grow in poorer soils, they grow best with a good nutrient supply and regular applications of a balanced, complete fertilizer will be appreciated.
Trees can handle down to 0 degrees once established but young trees need extra protection from the cold."

Hello to everyone. I have a problem with the yellowing of the leaves and also this big stain - the bleaching of chlorophyll. Can anyone advise me what I can do to make it happen and I have a healthy tree? Move into a larger container?
