Gardener landscaper in Porrentruy
Porrentruy is the main town of the Ajoie, in the north of the Canton of Jura. Overlooked by its medieval castle, the Ajoie capital benefits from a surprisingly mild climate for the Jura, thanks to its sheltered position in the Allaine plain at just 420 m altitude. The Ajoie is known for its fertile soils, its orchards and sunshine above the Jura average. Our SOS Jardin team brings this knowledge of the local terroir to your landscaping projects.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Ajoie really milder than the rest of the Jura for gardening?
Yes, the Ajoie benefits from a gentler microclimate, oriented towards the Rhine basin. Average temperatures are one to two degrees higher than in the rest of the Canton of Jura, and the Allaine plain is well protected from cold winds. This allows a wider range of plants, including fruit trees sensitive to late frost.
Which fruit trees should you plant in a garden in Porrentruy?
The Ajoie is cherry country: sweet cherries, morello cherries and kirsch cherries all thrive. Apple, pear, plum (including Damson) and walnut trees are also very well suited. Our gardeners recommend disease-resistant local varieties that produce well.
How do you maintain a tall-stem orchard in the Ajoie?
Our gardeners prune tall-stem fruit trees in winter (January to March) to promote fruiting and maintain a balanced shape. The ground beneath the trees is managed with late mowing to encourage biodiversity. A preventive treatment in spring protects against common diseases.
Do you plant countryside hedges in Porrentruy?
Yes, our gardeners plant countryside hedges composed of indigenous Ajoie species: bloodtwig dogwood, blackthorn, hawthorn, elder, hazel and hornbeam. These hedges suit the calcareous soil, support local wildlife and blend naturally into the Ajoie landscape.
