they flower in april,so look out for frost,the fruit buds sparrows,love so protect,net the bushes in winter and when the fruits begin toripen, for large dessert fruits start thinning the fruits in late may, removing every other one , and use them in cooking, for small or medium dessert fruits,do not thin the fruit but leave to ripen and develop thire full flavour, pick in May,
