Proper Planting and Care Means Succesd in Your Orchard. e 
WHEN TO PLANT. Fruit trees, grapevines, berry plants, 
and vegetables are usually dug from our growing 
grounds in December, ready for distribution about the 
first of January and may be planted until the first of April. 
The two best months for planting this type of nursery 
stock is during the months of January and February. 
Citrus and avocado trees should be set out in March, 
or later, after the danger of frost is past; come from this 
nursery with o ball of soil on the roots. 
PLANTING. Never allow the roots to become exposed 
to the air for more than a few minutes. Roots must be 
kept moist at all times. Set fruit trees in deep, large 
holes so that the bud union is level with the surface of 
the ground. Grapevines and berry plants must be set 
deeply enough so that the roots are well covered. Citrus 
and avocado trees should be set so that the bud union 
is 2 inches above ground level. Fill in top soil about the 
roots and irrigate immediately with a slow stream of 
water.. Fill in more soil after top soil has settled. Do not 
tramp down the soil. 
PRUNING. Fruit trees must have their tops pruned for 
planting. Select three or four good laterals or live buds 
between the two and three feet levels on the trunk and 
cut back to the topmost bud or lateral. (See Figure 1.) 
Tops of grapevines should be cut back to two buds on 
one spur; roots to a length of two inches. Fruit trees in 
the home orchard should be pruned in the dormant sea- 
son, November to January. After one year’s growth on 
three or four selected main laterals, remove all but two 
secondary laterals on each main lateral and shorten in 
about one-third to one-half their length. (See Figure 2.) 
CULTURE. Selection of the proper situation for fruit 
trees is the most important factor in the success of the 
home orchard. Deep, well-drained soils are necessary 
for most fruit tree varieties. Peaches, nectarines and 
cherries are the most susceptible to shallow, moist soils. 
Never apply fertilizer at the time planting is made; 
always allow one or two months for the plants or trees 
to become established and always apply fertilizer on 
top of the ground. Soak into the soil with a slow stream 
of water.
