| | Tree Fruit Culture and Varieties in N.D. |
 | | Many tree fruit varieties cannot set fruit with their own pollen, so it is necessary to select and plant two different varieties to insure proper pollination. | | | Fruit trees should be planted at least 40 to 50 feet from farm shelterbelts to prevent breakage from snowdrifts and reduce competition for soil moisture and nutrients between the two. | | | Many of the apple trees and all of the stone fruit trees (plum relatives) sold in the area nursery trade are propagated by a type of graft called budding. |

| | The pollination of tung trees is dependent upon the honey bee. | | | Webster (1943) concluded that when staminate and pistillate flowers are on separate trees, one staminate tree for 20 pistillate trees was sufficient for satisfactory pollination, provided that some staminate flowers open by the time the pistillate flowers are receptive. | | | (1942) showed that plants caged to exclude bees set no fruit and that wind or shaking the tree was of no value in fruitsetting, but when a tree was caged with a colony of honey bees a good set was obtained. |

| | Quite conceivably, however, honey bee colonies could be concentrated in numbers sufficient to exhaust the supply of pollen and nectar on competing plants and the bees induced to visit the flowers of this important crop for pollen and increase the percentage of cross- pollination and fruit set. | | | FIGURE 60.- Cacao flower cluster growing on the trunk of the tree, showing the open flower, a flower ready to open, and a small fruit. | | | Harland (1925a) found that of 5 percent of the flowers on trees not infested by ants and aphids, only 0.3 percent set fruit; whereas, on trees heavily infested by these insects, 35 percent of the flowers were pollinated and 2 percent set. |

| | Most fruit trees need to be planted in two different varieties for pollination, although some peach trees and sour cherry trees are self-fruited. | | | With most fruit trees, a second variety should be planted nearby to ensure adequate pollination. | | | When selecting a tree, think "small is beautiful" or "less is more." Then investigate dwarf or semi-dwarf fruit trees. |
