What fruit to put in the greenhouse

[DopeyAlex]

Hey all,

I have recently got a fairly large greenhouse (about 10x6ft i think), and I was wondering the following:

Which of these fruits would you put in the greenhouse ALL YEAR ROUND?

and which fruits would you just put in during the winter? and WHEN?

The fruits:
Lemon tree
Orange tree
Strawberries
Raspberries
Blackcurrants
Blueberries
Blackberries
-also chillis and peppers (i kno its not fruit tho )

All of these are in pots.



This is what I was thinking, but im not sure:

ALL YEAR ROUND IN GREENHOUSE
Lemon tree
Orange tree
Blueberries
Blackberries
chillis and peppers

ONLY WINTER IN GREENHOUSE
Strawberries
Raspberries

OUTSIDE ALL YEAR
Blackcurrants

How does that sound???


Thanks for being patient with me

black and red currants, raspberries and blackberries do just fine outside all year

strawberries, i put the runners in a greenhouse or indoors for winter

chillie/pepper plants will need to be taken indoors and, given extra light, if you can.

ok thanks. So does this look more right?

ALL YEAR ROUND IN GREENHOUSE
Lemon tree
Orange tree
chillis and peppers - inhouse during winter

ONLY WINTER IN GREENHOUSE
Strawberries
Blueberries

OUTSIDE ALL YEAR
Blackcurrants
Blackberries
Raspberries


Also, would you put any of these in a greenhouse over winter???
Apricot Tree
Cherry Tree
Apple Tree
Pear Tree
Plum Tree

Cheers, ALex

Hi,
I am sure Blueberries will be fine outside all year, but need ericaceous compost.
Strawberries as well will do fine outside. Just the runners you want to pot on as new plants will be better of in the GH over winter.
I think all your fruit trees should be fine outside, the only one is the Apricot, but if you have it in a sheltered position it should be fine, too. They grow them at the Geiranger Fjord in Norway without any shelter.

But to be on the save side I would keep peppers and chillies in the GH all year.
