Annual trees are the best material for planting orchards. Compared to older trees, annual maiden trees are easier to adopt, they grow faster and start bearing fruit earlier.
When buying annual trees, The orchard has an unrestricted possibility to bring out trees in such forms in the orchard, what it considers most appropriate.
The sale also includes two-year trees with crowns on trunks of different heights.
Low-growing trees are the most useful for commercial orchards, about height 40-50 cm.
The taller the tree is, the later it starts to bear fruit, the more difficult its care is and the more labor-consuming it is to harvest the fruit. Only cherries and plums in orchards, in which mechanical harvesting is provided for, they should have trunks about 1 m.
Nurseries produce trees on various rootstocks and inserts, significantly changing the power of growth, the speed of entry into the fruiting period and some other biological properties of trees. You can also buy trees in nurseries, whose trunks are frost-resistant leading, there are also guiding ophthalmologists, which are transplanted into cultivars only in the orchard.
In countries with mild winters, fruit growers have long stopped growing trees, especially apple and pear trees, on vigorously growing rootstocks, replacing them with trees on dwarf and semi-dwarf rootstocks. Thanks to this, they can plant and maintain a large number of trees per unit area throughout the life of the orchard.
