METHOD FOR GROWING APPLE GARDENS ON SEMI-DWARF STOCKS

摘要

A method for growing apple gardens on semidwarf stocks provides for planting and growing intensive apple gardens on semidwarf stocks 54-118 and those similar by growing power thereof. Seedlings are planted by a row method, a distance between the rows is , and a distance between the trees in a row is . The crown form in the trees planted out is formed according to the type of a symmetric spindle using the following stages: in all the subsequent years after planting the main branch is not shortened and verticality thereof, in particular 90° to the soil surface, is distinctively maintained. On the second year in the crowns of the trees all the branches with acute angles of sheering off from the main branch lesser than 50° are cut as "a circle". The growth of all the other branches is suspended by means of giving the branches angles of sheering off from the main branch of at least 80°.
