I A home fruit orchard is being
considered by Garland Ray of
Holliday. He can enjoy fresh fruit
from May to September by
planting 6-7 trees in his landscape.
Fruit trees are high maintenance
plants which require a lot of weed
and grass control, pruning and
spraying. However, the harvest is
bountiful and delicious.
Tree selection is the key to
having fruit with varying ripening
dates. Ray can have fresh fruit all
season with the planting of six
trees. The species, variety and
ripening period included: Methley
plum-late May, Sentinel peach

Fruit trees require a? special
• technique for each type fruit. For
example, a peach-is-pruned just'
the opposite of a pear tree. Fruit
trees must be trained from the
first year, in order for the pruning
system to work properly.
Anyone considering shade tree
pruning will want to get a free
copy of the ornamental pruning
leaflet.“Pruning & Training Land-
scape Plants” available at the
Extension office, 766-0131. A
Pecan Tree Training fact sheet is
also available along with pruning
leaflets on peaches, plums, pears,
apples, figs, and grapes. These
are available just for the asking.

“Go slow” is the riile on pruning
older pecan trees or. shade trees. A
good riile of.thumb for pruning
older trees is the removal of five
categories of branches. The bran-
ches to.be removed. are those
pointing downward, those which
cross another and where a branch' ‘
is too close and. directly over
another off of the'main trunk.
Branches growing too close the
ground can be removed along with
those growing into electric lipes or
the outer branches on a pecan tree
can ruin production for a three to
four year period.
“Dehorning” should never.be
performed on a tree. Anytime a
tree is cut back to the main
scaffold branches, permanent da-
mage will result unless careful
