Карликовые плодовые деревья

Характеристика

Dwarf fruit trees are stunted fruit trees grafted on a dwarf stock. The height of adult dwarf crops reaches only 2-3 meters. Such dwarfs live from 20 to 30 years, and they begin to bear fruit from the third year after planting. Very demanding of soil and moisture, because their roots lie shallow.

Карликовые плодовые деревья — это низкорослые плодовые деревья, привитые на карликовый подвой. Высота взрослых карликовых культур достигает всего 2-3 метров. Живут такие карлики от 20 до 30 лет, а плодоносить начинают уже с третьего года с момента посадки. Очень требовательны к почве и увлажнению, ведь их корни залегают неглубоко.

These apple trees come in many varieties, colors and flavors. Also divided into early, late.

Varieties of pears with high yields, fruits are large, weighing up to 250 grams.

Stunted trees produce more fruit than tall ones.

To care for undersized trees is much easier. Standard fruit trees reach a height of 7–9 m, and the crown width is 5–8 m. Therefore, for example, pruning such trees is extremely difficult. This requires a special tool. Dwarf trees have no such problems. All trimming work can be carried out directly from the ground. It is also easier to harvest and sprinkle dwarf trees.

If you want to get a bountiful harvest of apples, you can plant on your site dwarf species of this crop. Normal tree begins to bear fruit after 5-6 years after planting. For 10 years, it increases productivity, and by the age of 17-18, it begins to produce a permanent high yield. In dwarf apple trees and pears, the first fruiting occurs already in 3-4 years after planting, and a good harvest is given in 8-10 years.

The cost of purchasing planting material is many times greater than when planting a pair of ordinary trees. Also, dwarf varieties themselves are more expensive than cuttings of simple fruit trees.

Trees on dwarf rootstocks live much less than tall trees. Consider this feature when planting single specimens of dwarf trees.

Care for stunted trees should be carried out more often than for tall ones. They often need watering, pruning, fertilization.

Many varieties of low-growing trees do not tolerate frosts. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully select planting material, as well as regularly cover and wrap trees to protect them from frost.
