The spacing of fruit plants depends on the rootstock, species, varieties and from the form of the crown of the plant. Due to the small areas of plots and home gardens, trees should be planted on dwarf and semi-dwarf rootstocks.. The following spacings are recommended:
-apple and pear trees on dwarf rootstocks: co 2…2,5 m in a row, 3 m between the rows;
– cherries, apple trees on semi-dwarf rootstocks, peaches and Hungarian plums: co 3 m in a row, 4 m between the rows;
– moral, the remaining plums, apple trees on vigorous rootstocks and pear trees: co 4 m in a row, 5 m between the rows;
– raspberries: co 0,5 m in a row, 1,2 m between the rows; -thornless blackberry: co 2…2,5 m in a row;
– red and white currants: co 1,5 m in a row, 2 m between the rows;
– black currants: co 1,5 m in a row, 2,5 m between the rows;
– gooseberry: co 0,5 m in a row, 1,5 m between the rows.
The quality of the acquired planting material largely determines the success of cultivation. It is best to plant first-choice plants with a well-developed root system. The purchased plants must be planted permanently as soon as possible, so as not to dry them. If, for various reasons, planting has to be delayed, they should be pitted like this, that the entire root system is covered with earth, tread the ground and pour water over it. Even partially dry trees are susceptible to infection by fungi, causing them to fall out in the first year after planting. So if symptoms of dryness are observed (dulled, slightly wrinkled skin) soak the plants 2…3 days in the water, and wounds or abrasions are covered with emulsion paint with an additive 2% Benlate lub Topsinu.
