Home Fruit Planting
A home fruit planting carefully selected, well located and well managed can enhance the home landscape, prepare? Fruit quality and serve as a pastime. Though is about Apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry, apricot, or strawberry, blueberry, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, persimmon, the home fruit garden requires considerable care. Thus, people are not willing or able to spend some time at a plantation Fruit will be disappointed in its harvest. Growing fruit at home can be fun and provide your family with fresh, tasty and nutritious. The benefits are numerous: • You can grow large quantities of fruit in a relatively small area • The fruits are a good source of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fiber • If you choose carefully the type and cultivars (varieties) of fruit before you plant, you can harvest dessert, fruit quality From early summer through autumn • As a bonus, the fruit that you grow will taste much better than fruit you will find in the grocery store. Before you begin, you must invest considerable effort into site selection, land preparation and planting plans. Before ordering plants, you must also learn about the pollination of their needs, their winter hardiness, and how they are sensitive parasites. Some fruits are easier to grow than others. Tree fruits and grapes usually require greater protection against insects and diseases that strawberries and blackberries. Thus, strawberries are not much harder to grow than most crops annual garden and bear fruit quickly. Most fruit trees, on the other hand, require a substantial commitment to the size, pest management and care, and they will bear fruit immediately. Generally speaking, fruits and flowers of fruit trees should be protected from pesticide sprays of flowers before the time? up harvest. In addition, the spray may be necessary to protect the leaves, trunk and branches. window.google_render_ad (); Berries may be the most desirable of all fruits in the garden at home as they come into account in less time and generally require little or no insecticide or sprays of fungicides. Make sure you are ready to devote your time to start planting before. The success of your fruit plantation house is largely determined by: • how to display your site's fruit is the frost? • If your site receives adequate sun fruit. • if your site has well drained soil at least 8 inches deep. • if you choose plants that are adapted to your site for fruit and rustic. • Your ability to prevent damage caused by diseases of fruit, insects, weeds and wildlife. • your ability to use the fruits of good practices, including the provision of adequate water. • your ability to do what is required as soon as possible. The fruit can be available throughout the growing season with proper selection of types and cultivars (varieties). Fruits soil and fruit plant sites avoiding poorly drained areas. The deep soils, sandy loam, sandy loam soil from clay to coarse sand or gravel mixtures, are soil good fruit. On heavier soils, plant on raised beds or berms of soil to improve drainage. All fruit crops are subjected to damage caused by spring frosts. Hills, slopes or areas with high offer better air drainage and reduce frost damage. Make sure the air can circulate freely throughout the planting site and is not "boxed" with the surrounding land or border tree. Fruits do best in full sun. They can tolerate partial shade, but fruit quality will be lowered. Size of the area plan to plant fruit planting the fruit to suit the area and the needs of the family. A smaller planting, well cared for, generally returns more fruit quality and enjoyment to operator of a neglected greater. One? Half acre or less planted cultivars adapted to the types best fruit is usually sufficient for the average family. Plans for planting fruit While growing fruit at home can be rewarding, it will cost you time and money. To reduce these costs, consider carefully the design of your planting, including layout, spacing, cultivar selection, number of plants and aesthetics. Develop a planting plan in advance of the planting season. Determine the types of fruits, cultivars, and the quantities of each required. Locate a source plants and take steps to ensure that plants are available at the time of planting. A common mistake is to put the plants too close together. Leave enough space for growth so you can prune and perform other tasks. Another common mistake is to plant more than you need. A plantation small receiving appropriate care will provide more good quality fruit with a wider planting is neglected. Perennial weeds such as Quackgrass and Johnsongrass strong competition with young plantations should be removed before planting. This can be done by spraying a message? Herbicide such as glyphosate (Roundup ‰) in late summer the year before planting or filling in the weeds by hybrid sudangrass growth the year before planting. Strawberries in particular should not be planted in the newly turned sod in quackgrass. Not only bermudagrass regrowth and cause extreme competition problems because of the low height of strawberry plants, but the grubs often SOD infest bermudagrass can destroy the roots of strawberry. For better survival and production, additional water should be provided in the summer. Locate your fruit plantations near a water source. The planting of fruit If possible, set the plants immediately after their arrival. If the root vegetables are dry, completely immerse the roots in water for several minutes or overnight before sowing. Always water plants immediately after planting. Never allow the roots to dry or freeze. When planting is delayed several days in the heel trees forming a mound of loose soil or mulch. Place the roots in this mound, cover and moisten. Trees may be vertical or horizontal as long as the roots are covered. This protects the Tree Fruit drying or freezing. Trees placed at the same depth they grew in the maternal line. Cut off broken roots and dried. Place topsoil around the roots and compacting the soil to exclude air. Adjust the soil with water and make sure the roots are found in a natural position to the outside. Leave a small pool of one or two inches deep around tree to help with watering. Prune about one? third of the crown of the tree. Wrap the trunk from the soil line up early branches (or 18 inches above the ground) to protect the trunk from sunburn, wounds among rodents, insects, and drying out. Fruit plants cultural practices during the first summer, cultivate or mulch around fruit trees to reduce competition from other plants and to conserve moisture and fertility. Irrigation is especially important in the early years while the planting becomes established. Pollination and fruit set one of the producers the most common questions Home Fruit ask is: "Why are my plants will not set fruit?" There are several possible reasons for poor fruit set, including: • a late spring frost. • cold weather or rainy weather during bloom. • disease. • Nutrition plants. • insufficient pollination. • the absence of a compatible cultivar for cross pollination in species that are not "self-fruitful." Pollination and seed development following are prerequisites for the fruits. With most fruits, flowers appear in early spring begin as buds that form in leaf axils during the previous year. Many fruits Flowers bloom in early spring and can be damaged by frost. If temperatures fall below 30 degrees F when the flowers are vulnerable, some or all be killed in May, reducing or eliminating fruit set. Pollination occurs after the flowers have opened. Some fruits like grapes and peaches, release their pollen in their anthers (the male flower), which falls by gravity or is carried by wind currents on the pistil (female flower part). With strawberries, blueberries, apples, plums and sweet cherries, insects carry pollen from flower to flower. Heavy rains during flowering may interfere with the distribution of pollen or activity insects. Seed formation will be low if pollination is inadequate, and seed formation is essential for growth and development of most fruits. For example, apples with only a few seeds will drop the tree in June or remain small and misshapen. Some fruits, like strawberries, raspberries, peaches, cherries tart, and grapes, fruits are self-fruitful. Each plant can set fruit with only its own pollen. Other fruits such as apples, sweet cherries, pears, plums, apricots and elderberries are not self-fruitful fruit. They need cross-pollination from another cultivar for fruit to define. Blueberry plants are self-fruitful, but berry size is larger with cross-pollination from another cultivar. Most catalogs incubators that provide information on cultivars are good for pollinating each other for blueberries and other fruit crops as well. Some varieties apples, like Jonagold and Rhode Island Greening, produce pollen that is ineffective in fruit set on other cultivars. To be sure of adequate cross-pollination, plant at least three different varieties of apples. With groups of sweet cherry cultivars, the pollen of some cultivars are not compatible with others in the group. However, Cross Stella cultivar is compatible with most sweet cherry cultivars and provides a good source of pollen to other cultivars. Stella is also self-fertile. Many European countries plum (often called prune plums because of their high sugar content) are partially self-fertile. But you can improve their fruit set by the planting of two or more cultivars. You'll need to plant two or more cultivars of plums in Asia, since most are not self-fertile. Plant All fruit trees used as "pollinators" within 100 feet of the cultivar for pollination. You may need fewer plants if you do on nearby trees "as pollinators, but you could have a major problem if these trees are destroyed.

Remember that drainage is important. Herbs do not need too much water. What they need is dry soil, so make sure the water can be drained properly regardless if the herb is planted on a patch of land or a pot. The soil doesn’t need to be fertile, but you will need to use sufficient amounts of fertilizer.
