| | Pruning fruit trees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unpruned trees tend to produce large crops of small, worthless fruit often damaged by pests and diseases, and much of the crop is out of reach at the top of the tree. | | | The main aim when pruning fruit trees is usually to obtain a decent crop of fruit rather than a tree with an abundance of lush yet unproductive foliage. | | | Branches can become broken by the weight of the crop, and the cropping may become biennial (that is, only bearing fruit every other year). |

| | Fruit Trees |
| | The reason your young fruit trees have not grown may be poor soil conditions such as heavy clay, rocky soil, low levels of fertility, etc. Often it is poor weed control or trees which froze or dried out at the nursery. | | | The trees are usually supported by a wall, a fence, or a wire trellis. | | | A good general recommendation for rate to use per tree is one pound of fertilizer per inch trunk diameter. |

| | pruning fruit trees |
| | Tree size is reduced by lowering the height of the tree and cutting back the lateral branches to obtain the desired width. | | | Pruning fruit trees is necessary to develop a strong structured tree, to maintain tree vigor and control size, and to produce abundant high quality fruit. | | | Biennial bearing trees such as apples can be pruned heavier in the year when a heavy crop of fruit is expected. |

| | Therefore, fruit trees are propagated vegetatively by either budding or grafting scion wood of the desired cultivar on a rootstock. | | | When trees are planted in rows, the area between the rows may be allowed to grow in sod or used for interplanting with low-growing vegetables or strawberries. | | | Planting the Trees Preparation of the soil where fruit trees are to be planted should be as thorough as preparation of the soil for a vegetable garden or ornamental planting. |

| | Fruit Trees |
| | Most fruit trees planted today are semi-dwarf, because they produce a large crop from a tree with manageable size for pruning and harvesting. | | | Smaller trees yield crops of manageable size and are much easier to spray, thin, prune, net, and harvest than large trees. | | | The fruit is normal size, but the yield is less because of the smaller tree size. |

| | Fruiting habit refers to the overall pattern of fruiting and includes fruit position on the ends of long or short shoots, age of spurs producing most of the crop and location of the crop on the scaffold limbs. | | | Fruit trees that initiate flowers on one year wood and have large fruits such as peaches respond better to heavy pruning than types that set flowers on older spurs or have smaller fruits like the cherry. | | | The annual pruning of fruit trees not only aids the development of strong flower buds and highly colored fruit but also allows better penetration of pesticides for control of insects and diseases. |

| | Training and Pruning Fruit Trees |
| | For bearing trees, the goal of dormant pruning is to remove vigorous upright growth on the scaffolds and trunk that was not removed during the summer. | | | For most deciduous tree fruit, flower buds for the current season's crop are formed the previous summer. | | | Light penetration is not a problem as the maximum height of the tree is limited to approximately 6 to 12 feet, with a canopy spread of 3 to 4 feet outward from the leader. |

| | Fruit trees grown on dwarf rootstocks selected for the Northwest maritime climate add value to the home, not only with their edible fruit, but with the beauty of their spring blossoms. | | | Espaliered trees along a fence line can be used to break up a long row of fence or to create a living wall, and add healthy eating to the diet. | | | Later as the trees mature and shade the bed more, another type of edible plant will be chosen with shade tolerance. |

| | Pruning Fruit Trees |
| | Producing luscious fruits demands lots of energy, which comes from the sun, and one goal of pruning is to help all the limbs on your tree bask in as much sunshine as possible. | | | Your goal is to help your tree produce branches that are strong enough to support their future loads of fruit, and to develop branches that won't cross or shade each other. | | | If your tree is a central-leader or modified-central-leader type, induce the central leader to keep making new branches by cutting off about a third of the previous season's growth each year while the plant is dormant. |

| | The fruit trees are all modern varieties, grafted onto rootstock at Kenyetta University of Agriculture. | | | And so the main cost will probably be the fencing equipment to protect the trees from greedy cows, and the irrigation pipes. | | | This will involve laying hosepipe along the rows of trees, and putting small holes in the pipe next to each tree base. |

| | Cherry trees should be planted in a sunny location with well drained soil. | | | As with most pear trees, we recommend a good spray program that includes the use of Fire Blight (streptomycin) spray during bloom. | | | Plums require full sun, well drained and moderately fertile soil on high ground or ground that is not in a frost pocket to avoid late spring frosts. |

| | Fruit tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A fruit tree is a tree bearing fruit — the structures formed by the ripened ovary of a flower containing one or more seeds. | | | However, because all trees of flowering plants produce fruit (essentially all trees except tree ferns and gymnosperms), the term in horticultural usage applies to trees providing fruit as human food. | | | This page was last modified 06:39, 11 September 2005. |
