In modern horticulture, it is aimed at obtaining high fruit yields per unit area as early as a few years after planting the trees.. This goal can be achieved by increasing the number of trees per 1 he has. Optimal, at the age of full fruiting, the number of trees on vigorously growing rootstocks is 200-500 pieces on 1 he has. It suits you, depending on the strength of growth, tree spacing within the limits of 4 x 5 x 6 x 8 m. Before the trees are planted at a distance 6 x 8 m will use the space allocated to them, expires 8-10 years. This is a period long enough to, for the benefit of the user, thicken the rows with additional trees, the so-called. temporary, differently pillars. With a relatively small increase in investment and running costs, temporary trees will bring additional income before they need to be removed; we remove at the moment, when they interfere with the development of solid trees. To get the maximum benefit from growing temporary trees, varieties that naturally start fruiting early and grow more slowly are selected for the pillars. It is good too, when the fruits of temporary trees ripen at a similar time as that of permanent trees. In practice, two systems for planting temporary trees into separate rows or in rows of permanent trees are used. Planting temporary trees in strips allows you to keep them, without adversely affecting the growth of solid trees, The 1-2 years longer than then, when they are planted in their rows. When introducing temporary trees into an orchard, you need to be able to choose the right moment to remove them. Leaving them too long leads to it, even with very good care, to lower yields and to fruit diminution, it deforms the shape of crowns of solid trees.
