Pea fruit is as hardy as fruit trees in normal form
Pale fruit - hardy or not?
In the meantime, most fruit varieties are also available in the relevant specialist retailer as pillar fruit, which offers a relatively high yield with a relatively small footprint. Whether these plants need special protection against winter cold depends not least on their location.
Successfully overwintering planted fruit trees
Planted poplar fruits are generally no more or less hardy than the fruits from which they were bred. But you should keep in mind that the processing point for fruit trees must always be above the earth's surface, as otherwise they could become foul. In addition, a plant pole or attachment to a trellis can not hurt to protect the plants from wind or snow damage. Very young plants should sometimes be wrapped around the trunk with a fleece, so it does not come to cracks in the stem bark by the winter weather.
The right winter protection for potted plants
Unfortunately, pillared fruit trees grown in the planter are not as insensitive to winter cold as planted specimens. With these measures, you can usually bring your pillar fruit well through the winter:
Tips
Fruit trees should not be protected in winter like many other plants with their foliage from the winter cold, as the infestation pressure can otherwise increase enormously by the wintering of pests, fungal spores and pathogens.
