Choosing a place for planting fruit

"For the hell of this nonsense I went to the garden for their retirement years." But in order to meet an old age in a beautiful orchard, you have to lay it out right now. This article will explain what trees to plant at the site, as they are properly placed and how do participants FORUMHOUSE.

The distance between the plants

Science, orchard break in sheltered from the wind and well sunlit place, ideal if the plants will be spacious.

Of apple-krupnomery planted at a distance of 6-15 meters apart, cherries and plums stam - 1.5 -3 meters.

In this picture, the distance between the trees - 5 meters.

To correctly position the garden planting is necessary to observe not only the distance between the plants, but also between the plants and the neighboring plot. At orchard trees it is typically half the width of rows. If the width between rows of six meters, the distance to a neighboring section of the boundary is three meters. Fruit bushes may be planted at a distance of 70-80 cm. Not to be mistaken with the planting, pre-better nacherit garden plan.

But in reality, the huge areas with unlimited resources for large-sized planting apple trees is not much, so the distance of 15 meters between each tree no one can withstand. In practice, it appears that for the successful cultivation adhere to this condition during the landing and planting material is optional.

Palonka (Member FORUMHOUSE):

According to the practice should be planted in the 5th of each other, if the estimate that each will crown the size of 2.5 meters in diameter. But if you allow so arrange your specific plant garden plots - this is another question.

When planting fruit trees and shrubs in the garden on your site, you can rely on our table.

Tall pear and apple rootstock on the seed planted by the scheme 5x5 (distance at least 5 meters per row and between rows 5-6), apple sredneroslye scheme 4x4, 3x3 polukarliki by scheme.

Raspberry bushes can be divided into two parts, leaving between them a fence not more than a meter wide: one planted conventional varieties in the other - remontant. They bear fruit at different times, and they have different agricultural techniques.

The optimum planting of trees and kustanikov in the garden in a staggered manner, especially if you break a garden in the "roadside" of the garden and you want to hide a house or a rest area on the views of neighbors. By the way, green spaces reduce the noise level, this property should be used.

Andrei Vasilyev, a consultant in "fruit garden" on Forumhouse, planting a plum site and cherry bush at a distance of three meters between trees. Currant bushes and gooseberry - at a distance of 1-1.5 m from each other, the meter - a little.

Andrey Vasilyev (section Consultant "fruit garden" on FORUMHOUSE):

And can be planted between the trees until they grow up, have berry-otplodonosivshie her, and move (cut from a bush in the autumn part) then it will be easy, if the variety is very good too.

Raspberries consultant of our portal recommends planting "separately, but not in the shade." And when planting honeysuckle advises not to forget that its bushes grow quite large - two meters in diameter and the same height, and place them on the site in view of these dimensions.

pollinators

Another important point that must be considered when planting in the garden on a plot of fruit plants - self-pollinated or not. If not, you must change the planting plan and be sure to put a number of other plant varieties.

SB3 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Planting self-pollinated cherry called Y and near the same called Z. If cherry Y will be one next to the pear - not berries.

toliam1 (FORUMHOUSE Consultant):

Fruit is better to plant a "tree garden", when one shtambe vzaimoopylyaemyh several varieties.

A odnosortovye breed better grouped by species to be able to cross-pollination.

Sun, wind and shadow

Shading for fruit trees is not desirable in the area they need from morning until evening the most illuminated by the sun. If some tree grower still have to be planted in partial shade, let it be a pear. Pear - the tallest fruit tree, pears on dwarf rootstock is not seen so much attention has not been given as not circumcised, she will grow 5-6 meters high. So do not be afraid if the pear is planted next to the bath, other outbuildings and a half-day is its shadow. Through five or six years is a big tree grows above the highest buildings on the plot.

Fruit trees cover the area from the prevailing winter winds (structure, wall, etc.). Determine which direction the wind in the winter you will be dominant, just - look, which side of the house is less snow (sometimes literally sweeps to the ground). If a little snow on the east side, it means that winter wind blowing mainly from the west, and so on.

Andrey Vasilyev:

All tall - to the north, all the tender - the best places in the shelter from the prevailing winds in the winter.

Plum is better to plant exactly where all the snow is blown by strong winds. Plum has a tendency to damping-off and does not tolerate pockets of snow; where trained even a small snow, a little more than 40 cm, the drain will not grow.

groundwater

Fruit trees do not grow well in areas with similar groundwater. Apples and pears for the successful growth and development of the necessary land to the level of ground water two meters or better on. In suburban areas close to the ground water these trees with large roots do not grow longer than 10 years and do not have time to form a large crown. Therefore, if there is no alternative, they can be planted close to each other (2 meters) and every 10 years alternately updated. Grow normal trees and get on with them quite good harvests of fruit in another way will not work.

Stone species have root systems is not so deep in depth, so they can be planted in the suburban areas, where the water table is at a depth of 1.5 m and more; in berry crops depth may be less.

Topography and landscape planning

The best gardens are considered to areas on the slopes with a slope of less than 8 °. In most regions, the best gardening considered the southern, south-western and south-eastern slopes, they are always more sun and higher air and soil temperature. But this advantage can turn into a disadvantage: in such areas is warmer, so plant them in the spring bloom earlier, often in the midst of spring frosts. For this reason, should not be planted fruit crops on the eastern slopes of the suburban area: after Frost, who prihvatyvaet flowering plants, on the eastern slope they thawed too fast.

Experts advise to split the gardens in the middle of the slope, because the top is always blowing wind and not enough moisture, and at the bottom, on the contrary, too wet and cold. In the pits and hollows, which accumulates in the morning mist, the gardens do not need to break. The cold air that stagnates in them, is harmful to plants, especially dangerous this place during frost.

But with all these zamorochki

slopes are preferred for fruit trees and bushes, than smooth portions.

I wish that the garden was not only fruitful, but also beautiful, and landscape designers do not eat their bread for nothing. But grouping the plants on the plan, it is necessary to take into account agriculture, especially the soil in your summer cottage, proximity of ground water, the tendency to sprawl, and so on.

Yurii67:

"Comfort" of the garden, try to perceive not as if the trees are planted in the garden of 5-10 years ago, and the garden can be called garden.

In our academy published lectures researchers NIIP them. Lisavenko of agricultural technology and biological features of the major fruit crops. In a special section of our site discussed all the details of caring for orchard. Watch our video, which describes how prepare for planting apple saplings.
