Fruit Trees;

Budget
Your own apples, pears, peaches,
cherries, citrus, plums, fruits of
any kinds,,—all in beautiful, bounti-
Iful, healthful harvest from your own
trees: this is the miracle that can
keep happening for you year after
° 'i year, because trees you can plant
I now l food producers,
permanent' inflation fighters.
I Since,this is the tin4'e to add fruit
trees 'to your.landscape plan, auth-
orities from the American Associa-
tion of Nurserymen offer a few
planting tips. .The garden center'.
or mail-order nurseryman who
provides. your trees will have valu-
able' specific in(ructions, but these
general suggestions will be helpful.
The first consideration, the nur-
sery people point out,'is�the location;
-oirthe_ new tree. It should be close to
the' home, for convenience and land-
scape beauty, but far enough re -
general
moved: from building structures
to make sure limbs and 'foots will
not interfere. Placement 'should be
where soil drains well and where"
there is sufficient sun.
Once the appropriate location
is determined, a ho! should be dug
large enough to accommodate the
bare roots in their natural' shape.
In the ease of balled' and burlapped
trees, the hole should be about twice
the size of the ball.
• Place the tree straight up in the
center of the hole, making sure the.'
soil fits snugly around the roots to
avoid air spaces. Shake the'tree
gently up and down while backfill=
ing the hole to help pack the soil
firmly around the roots. The base
? of the tree should set about the
• same depth or slightly lower than it
did in the nursery.
After planting is completed,
water lightly (but don't soak,).
Future watering should be sufficient
to moisten the root system during '
hot monthsareperpetua. Avoid over -watering,
Keep foliage dry to avoid spreading because this can restrict the needed
leaf diseases: use a ."root feeder"• , air supply for the tree.
", plunge pot plant until bubbles stop: Protect the trunk of the new tree
Water deeply whenever you water. 1"
of water wets only top 4" of most soils!
Using wand prevents wash-out.
