homemade fruit planting carefully selected, properly located and managed well at home preparing to improve landscape? Quality fruits and serve a good hobby. Good is about Apple, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, apricots, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, persimmons, home fruit garden requires much care. Thus, people are not willing or capable of time to devote disappointed an orchard in his harvest. Growing fruit at home can be fun and your family with fresh, delicious and nutritious. The benefits are numerous: • large quantities of fruit in a relatively small area • fruit can grow, are a good source of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fiber and • If you carefully choose which species and cultivars (varieties) of a plant, fruit before the benefits of quality dining from early summer autumn harvest grow • As a bonus, the fruit will taste better than fruit that you find in the supermarket. Before you begin, you need considerable effort into site selection, soil preparation and planting plans invest. Before you order plants, you also need to know that their pollination needs, their hardiness and how they are vulnerable to disruption. Some fruits are easier to grow than others. Fruit and grapes generally require greater protection against insects and diseases, strawberries and blackberries. Sun strawberries that grow not much heavier than most annual crops and gardens are quickly bear fruit. Most fruit trees, on the other hand, require a major commitment, pruning, pest control and care, and they are now bearing fruit. Generally, flowers and fruits of fruit trees to be protected from the flower by spraying with pesticides? Until harvest time. In addition, the spraying may be necessary to protect the leaves, stem and branches. window.google_render_ad (); The berries are perhaps the most coveted of all fruits in the garden, because in a shorter period of time considered and usually require little or no spraying of insecticides or fungicides. Make sure you are prepared to spend time before you start your planting. The success of your orchard house is largely determined by: • the vulnerability of your site is the porridge? • If your site is adequate sun protection fruit. • if your site well drained soil at least 8 inches deep. • When plants adapted to your site for fruit and hardy. • Their ability to prevent damage to fruit, insects, to prevent weeds and wildlife. • your ability, the fruits of good agricultural practice to use including the provision of sufficient water. • your ability to do what is required in a timely manner. The fruit throughout the season with a selection of appropriate species and cultivars (varieties) are available. Fruit and soil sites, avoiding fruit poorly drained areas. Deep, sandy soil, bring in sandy loam to coarse sand and gravel mixtures clay soils produce good fruit. On heavier soils, plant in raised beds to improve soil drainage and slopes. All fruits are subject to damage from late spring freezes. Hill slopes or elevated areas, better drainage and air to reduce frost damage. Make sure air can circulate freely through the planting and is not “boxed” with border around a field or a tree. Fruit best in full sun. It tolerates partial shade, but fruit quality will be lowered. adjust the size of the planting plan area of the plantation of fruit crops in the field and the needs of the family. Building a small, well maintained, there is usually more fruit quality and fun for the manufacturer of more neglected. A? Half Acre or less adapted varieties best planted fruit is usually enough for an average family. The plans can plant fruit orchards at home while be very rewarding, it costs time and money. To reduce these costs, should carefully design your planting, including the location, spacing, variety selection, the number of plants, and aesthetics. Develop a planting plan in advance of the planting season. Determine the types of fruits, varieties, and the quantities required of each. Find a source of plants and make arrangements so that plants at the time of planting available. A common mistake is to set the plants close together. Leave enough room for growth, so that you can cut and do other tasks. Another common mistake is to put in more plants than you need. Building a small reception of appropriate care is more good fruit quality, that a large plantation, which is neglected. Perennial weeds such as couch grass and johnson grass strong competition with the young plantations and must be removed before planting. This can be done by spraying a job? Herbicide such as glyphosate (Roundup ‰) in the late summer of the year prior to planting or in weeds by shading the growth of Sudan hybrids for the year before planting. Strawberries in particular should not be planted in freshly dug under the couch grass. Not only the regrowth of couch grass and extreme competition problems because of the small amount of strawberry, but attack the grubs, grass couch grass that often destroy the roots of the strawberry. For a better survival rate and production, additional water needs during the summer months provided. Find your orchards near a water source. Planting of fruit, if possible, make the plants immediately after arrival. If the roots are dried fruits, whole roots immersed in water for a few minutes or overnight before sowing. Always water the plants immediately after planting. Never let the roots dry out or freeze. When planting trees is delayed for several days, the heel in the trees and form a pile of loose soil or mulch. Place the roots in the hill cover, and moisturize. Trees can be vertically or horizontally, as long as the roots are covered. This will protect fruit trees from drying or freezing. Install the trees at the same depth as they grew in the maternal line. Cut the dried roots and broken. Place soil around the roots and compacting the soil to exclude air. Install the floor with water and make sure the roots in a natural position to be left out. Let a small pool of one or two inches deep around the tree with irrigation. Cut about one? Third crown of the tree. Wrap the trunk from the ground up to protect the first line of knots (or 18 inches above the ground) to the trunk from sunburn, wounds in rodents, insects and drought. to reduce fruit cultural practices in the first summer crop or mulch around fruit plants to competition from other plants and to conserve moisture and fertility. Irrigation is especially important in the early years, when the plantation is established. Pollination and fruit set to ask one of the most frequently asked questions home fruit growers, “Why do not my plants fruit set?” There are many possible reasons for poor fruit set, including: • a late spring frost. • cold or rainy weather during flowering. • the disease. • plant nutrition. • insufficient pollination. • lack of a compatible species for pollination in species that are not self-fertile. Pollination and seed development, the following conditions for the fruit. For most fruits, flowers appear in spring form as buds in the axils start last year. Flowers bloom much fruit in the spring and can be damaged by frost. When temperatures below 30 degrees Celsius, when the flowers are falling prone, some or all be killed, reducing or eliminating fruit set. pollination open is have after the flowers. Some fruits such as grapes and peaches, pollen from their anthers (male part of flower), by the gravity fall or by winds to the punch (female flower) is performed. With strawberries, blueberries, apples, plums and sweet cherries, carry insect pollen from flower to flower. Heavy rains during flowering can with the distribution of pollen or insects disrupt activity. spermatogenesis is bad if pollination is inadequate, and seed formation is important for growth and development of most fruits. For example, apples fall with a few seeds from the tree in June or remain small and misshapen. Some fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, peaches, cherries and grape is the fruit of self-fertile. Each plant can only fruit with their own pollen share. Other fruits such as apples, cherries, pears, plums, apricots and elder berries, fruits do not self-fertile. You need cross-pollination from another variety of fruit to share. Blueberry plants are self fertile, but Berry is greater with cross-pollination from another variety. Most nurseries catalogs provide information on varieties that are good for pollinating one another for blueberries and other fruits as well. Some apple varieties such as Jonagold and Rhode Iceland Greening , produce pollen which is ineffective in determining fruit of other varieties. To be sure of adequate pollination, plant at least three different apple varieties. With groups of sweet cherry cultivars of the pollen of some varieties that are not compatible with others in the group. However, the variety Stella compatible with most sweet cherry cultivars Cross and offers a good source of pollen for other species. Stella is self-fertile. Many European plum (often called prune plums because of their high sugar content) is partially self-fertile. But you can fruit enhanced by the planting of set two or more varieties. you’d have two or more varieties of plums in Asia-conditioning, as most do not self-fertile. Plant all fruit trees as “pollinators” is used within 100 feet of open-pollinated variety. you have to reduce plant when you click adjacent trees need as pollinators, but you can have a big problem if these trees are destroyed.
