I can’t imagine a garden without a few fruit trees, One is made from bones and the other is made from seeds. They are specimens filled with flowers with a honey fragrance, beautiful pastel colors and interesting shapes. Do you want to discover how to grow a fruit tree? It’s easy… now is the time!
They herald spring, as they must bloom soon to have time to set their fruits quietly and devotedly. With them Glowing flowers Designed to attract pollinators, they sparkle and decorate your landscaped corner. Peach trees, for example, have gorgeous red flowers. And those with white flowers (like the cherry trees in the picture) emit such a wonderful scent, like honey, that bees, bumblebees and other sweet visitors reach their hearts for the nectar. After all, there are few pleasures like picking fruit from your tree and putting it in your mouth.
There are also those that are only decorative
The horticultural world has acquired more and more beautiful species and varieties of fruit trees over time, although at the cost of losing their edible fruits.
Look, if not, at this wonderful and amazing flowering cherry tree (Saw plum) in full spring bloom. Fill this intimate corner of the garden completely with a penchant for nature and spontaneity with beauty.
But this article focuses on how to grow table fruit trees that bear fruit Edible fruits.
Let’s do it!
here they are Tools necessary:
- Fruit trees in containers, so rooting is safe, and bare roots (more economical method).
- Brush cutting machine for cutting grass in fruit orchard or cutting grass.
- Personal and nail scissors (scissors).
- Garden shovel (flat edge).
- A shovel with a good edge and not too heavy.
- Grass broom or rake.
- 1.- How to open a hole to plant a tree. Once we have removed the drip line that should be responsible for watering the tree, we begin to open the hole with a garden shovel (with a flat edge) to obtain stable walls that do not collapse and allow us to work without bending with difficulty. .
It is important to store the extracted soil next to the hole, so that it is not lost or accidentally mixed with the ground.
2.- Open the hole. It is recommended to let the open pit rest for a few hours so that the inside of the pit dries in contact with air and encourages the escape of anaerobic parasites. In this way, the first irrigation water can also be used by having more leak-proof walls and supporting the root ball, avoiding warping due to soft soil.
3.- Combating waterlogging. In ten centimeters from the bottom of the pit, it is important, especially for stone fruit trees, to introduce gravel. This will prevent water retention that would cause the very serious gummosis, a disease caused by the association of fungi and bacteria, which is fatal in all cases. You must keep in mind that the worst enemy of a plant is always waterlogging.
- 4.- Tree in the hole and covered with earth. Once the tree’s root ball is placed at the bottom of the hole, simply accompany it with soil previously mixed with a good organic substrate as an ideal fertilizer. There should be neither large caliber stones – which should have been previously separated – nor very porous sand.
It is not recommended to press the soil around the root ball too much, just apply light pressure with your foot.
- 5.- Alcorque, ensuring good irrigation. Once the farm is established, there’s nothing better than building a tree pit or irrigation pond next to the log.
Attention: Trees hate it when we get their trunks wet, and the necks must be left dry on a hill or promontory, with the water collection channel at a distance of half a meter. With this procedure we will avoid many accidents and rots, starting with the above-mentioned gum of stone fruit trees.
6.- padded. Once you have planted and dug the watering hole, I highly recommend mulching generously or Coverage To your newly planted tree. It consists of spreading different types of materials next to the trunk, covering the surrounding soil. You can use anything you can think of, from straw (as in our case), to grasses, branches, leaves, cut leaves and even old clothes. The goal is to avoid exposure to the sun, as well as evaporation of soil moisture.
7.- First irrigation. After mulching, all that remains is to incorporate the first irrigation or planting irrigation into the soil. Using a watering can, we add water, but always be careful not to get it wet.
- 8.- Finally, highlight. The job will not be completed if we do not cut the tree branches. It does not have to be a very extensive task: removing a couple of internodes with their corresponding buds will be enough to encourage the tree to germinate.
It can be used to remove any branches that reach the middle of the glass, thus achieving the desired glass shape typical of all fruit trees.
