Fruit in South .
Bariloche Fruit trees are pruned according to the type of fruit that give:
- pitted cherry, sour cherry, peach, plum, in September
- solo seeds: apple, pear, early winter in July
To plant a new tree in the garden or yard must be taken into account the following. You can plant a seed of a fruit normally buy at the supermarket, and are more northern Patagonia, Black River Valley.
The downside: the tree can grow normally, but in the north has fewer hours of cold that here in Bariloche, the temperature difference is different, here we have more gradient.
may come to fruition but it will not reach the fruit ripen.
There are cases where there is a good harvest.
Another way is to try to graft, using a base of a fruit tree in the area, ie the crabapple. I try to graft a new branch of an apple fruit tree that one would like.
Another is directly buy the tree in a nursery, but you have to know where to buy, pq trees have to be prepared for the area.
Planting the tree
- make a generous hole, you must enter either the pole with the basket
- for taking this earth to dig for side taking care to separate the topsoil (the first stroke that we re-use) of deeper soil (from the 2nd stroke down, we're not going to use) the land
- we will replace with manure.
- dig we will find stone (possibly from the construction of the house where we live, or area depending on the soil)
- position the tree and put down compost and topsoil above
- careful to leave the stump (where the graft) off the ground by at least 5 cm or more above the surface, it is important not to touch the ground, but the top of the graft may take root
Note 3 views of the tree for pruning.
from below:
From the stump to the first branch that will take off (the trunk of the tree) should not have branches, usually if we grow these branches the tree becomes unstable and may form very large logs over the years.
Looking down from the top:
Since the first branch to the top, we must contemplate the tree from above it to form a concentric circle, the most stable as possible, with sticks of equal length . Prune all those protruding and try to give this circular.
Looking tree in front :
in productions of fine fruit trees in the Black River Valley, you'll make trellises at the tree, and is as staked.
is not necessary to reach it, but say that more horizontal branches of the tree are the largest and best fruits are.
Each twig coming out of the trunk, should be separated from each other about 10 cm, not less. The concentration of branches would be eliminated all together. Leave a nomas.
tree height.
branches not let go up. We can not reap the fruits that are high up, these are they going to eat the birds or the wind will pull.
is appropriate then cut the tip of the tree. We must take courage, and above the last branch transverse leave about 2 cm in length and cut the tip. Read
below, must heal the cut end, for there can get diseases, fungus, or it may simply dry.
Remedios
There are 2 remedies to speed healing of pruning wounds.
- calcium polysulphide
- aqueous solution of copper sulphate and lime.
Quicklime can not dry so fast implementation. If we use lime
common offset the amount, hydrated lime is common (it would have to do the calculation).
is prepared separately.
one hand
- 100 g copper sulphate in 5 liters of
- water on the other, in another lime vessel 100 grams in 5 liters of water until the lime off.
The amount of sulfate is to infer the function that takes preparation.
Then it is mixed, with a brush or cloth is applied to the wounds of the plants. Can also be used to cure winter, apply roses, plants. Eliminate pests such as fungi insect eggs on the plant Hivern.
