3 Topics to be Covered Fruit Tree Basics Species and Varieties Planting Fruit Tree Growth Training and Pruning Irrigation and Fertilization Fruit Thinning Pest Management
4 Chilling Requirement The number of hours below 45 F required by a fruit species or variety between November 1 and February 15 Lack of chilling causes: Death of buds, extended bloom, and poor fruit set
5 Three zones with low-chill winters
6 Chilling Hour Requirements (Newer varieties may have lower requirements) Almond Apple* Apple (low chill) Apricot* Cherry, sweet Fig 100 Peach/nectarine Pear* Pear (Asian) Pecan 250 Persimmon Pistachio 800 Plum, European Plum, Japanese Pomegranate Walnut
7 Site Selection hours of full sun Shelter from high winds Avoid planting where fruit falls on walks or driveway Soil should be at least 3 ft deep, but trees can be managed in shallower soil
8 Pollination of Fruit Trees Pollenizer: A tree of one variety used to provide pollen to a nearby tree of a different variety to produce fruit Pollinator: An insect (usually a bee) that carries pollen from one tree or flower to another
9 What if You Have No Pollinizer Nearby? Plant, Graft, or:
10 Topics to be Covered Fruit Tree Basics Species and Varieties Planting Fruit Tree Growth Training and Pruning Irrigation and Fertilization Fruit Thinning Pest Management
11 Peaches & Nectarines Same species (one-gene difference) Hundreds of varieties» Some ripen May (Royal Gold)» Some ripen in September (Fairtime) Yellow or white flesh Need long, hot summers Easy to grow, consistent bearers» Main problem: peach leaf curl» Curl-resistant varieties Double Jewel P. Arctic Jay N. Frost P.
12 Dapple Dandy Pluots Complex plum-apricot crosses (mostly plum) Bred by Floyd Zaiger (patented), licensed by Dave Wilson Nursery Rich flavor (taste test winners) Require pollenizer Santa Rosa plum or other pluot Give them room to grow! Flavor Supreme Flavor King
13 Cherries Most are large, upright trees (apical dominance) Most require pollinizers (Stella & Lapins are self-fruitful) Problems: spotted wing Drosophila, canker diseases, birds Varieties ripen late May to mid July Bing Rainier Stella
14 Pink Lady Apples Great late season fruit Problems with codling moth, blight, scab Varieties ripen early Sept. to early Nov. Self-fruitful and self-unfruitful varieties Fuji Gala Honeycrisp
15 Leading Varieties Sold in Marin Sources of Information:»Sunnyside Nursery, San Anselmo»Sloat Garden Center, Novato»Fruit, Berry and Nut Inventory (3 rd ed.), 2001»Cornucopia II; A Source Book of Edible Plants, 1998»Dave Wilson Nursery: Home Orchard (UC publication), 2007
16 Topics to be Covered Fruit Tree Basics Species and Varieties Planting Fruit Tree Growth Training and Pruning Irrigation and Fertilization Fruit Thinning Pest Management
17 Soil Amendments Rototill compost in planting area No amendments in planting hole Uncomposted amendments rototilled months before planting Avoid pockets of undecomposed organic matter in heavy soils Add mulch or compost to surface
18 Choosing and Handling Trees Bare root cheaper than potted Use ½ to 5/8 in. caliper trees Avoid drying of bare roots Heel in bare root trees if planting is delayed
19 Heeling in
20 Planting Fruit Trees Check roots, cut off dead or damaged Hole size: Wide, and deep if compacted Plant on mound to keep crown dry Plant high! Reduces chances of crown & root rot Graft union well above soil Previous soil line at or above soil level Allow for soil settling
21 Undercutting the Trees
22 Planting a Bare Root Tree Dig hole to fit roots Lightly tamp soil Emitters 1 ft. away
23 Planting a Containerized Tree Pull out wound roots Water in Don t cover soil in pot
24 Post-Planting Care Head tree at in. (bare root only) Cut back well-placed laterals to 3-8 in., remove all others Paint trunk white Interior latex paint & water, 50:50 Entire trunk & 2 in. below soil Prevents sunburn & borers
25 Pruning a Bare-Root Tree Branches thinner than 3/16 Branches thicker than 3/16
