The well-designed orchard ensures: the earliest economic per acre return, maximum per acre production at tree maturity and the least management cost. This chapter discusses the following orchard-planning and design considerations: tree density, row length, planting designs, loading areas, pollinizer placement, and orchard floor management.

A preferred orchard soil is a deep (at least 3 ft), well-drained and aerated loam. Detailed soil appraisals should be conducted several years in advance of planting. A grower begins by locating a soil map and by digging test holes to examine the soil profile.

Train prune and plum trees to the open center system (figure 5) with three or four main scaffold limbs. Prune very lightly for the first 5 years. Head only the limbs that will be permanent scaffolds, remove scaffold limbs that may compete with the three or four originally selected, and do little else.

Since all energy for plant growth and development comes from sunlight, the orchard system must capture the greatest amount. To achieve maximum fruit quality and yield,

Orchard Establishment. Many things should be considered when planning a new orchard. Variety, rootstock, training system and planting spacing all need to be decided well ahead of time. Factors such as weather conditions, soil type, soil pests, water quality, water availability, irrigation system and pest pressures can all influence the decision.

The most important thing is that each tree is positioned in a place that receives sufficient sun and soil depth, is well drained and is not too close to other trees or large shrubs. Spacing between fruit trees should be generous to allow for competition-free root and canopy growth. For MM106 trees we plant 5m apart, for M26 3.5-4m apart.

The planning of a new orchard block can be more difficult than its actual planting. When planning an orchard block, one of the most crucial decisions the orchardist must make is the planting density of the new orchard block. Planting density, or the number of trees per acre, greatly effects orchard efficiency, productivity and the intensity of

Spacing your Orchard. The first thing to consider when planning an orchard is what size tree would work best in the space available. The most vigorous rootstocks, such as M25 for apples or Pyrus communis for pears, will produce large, traditional, standard trees that are best planted about 30ft (10 metres) apart.

a long, productive life of the orchard. Because the support structure (a stake or trellis) is planted with the tree, the opposite is true in training a high density orchard.

Many orchards space their rows 20 feet wide for both dwarfing and semi-dwarfing trees. If free standing semi-dwarfs are being planted, determine if mowing will happen between trees or just between rows. Larger semi-dwarfs often get planted with 15 to 20 feet between trees in the row. First, determine which rootstocks are available and then

Crucial First Step: Fruit Type and Variety. Before planting a home orchard, understand that many fruits may not produce well or resist pests in your area's climate. As examples, cherries require long, cold winters, and won't fruit at all in mild climates; figs will freeze if left outside in very cold areas. And specific varieties of each

Prune the Tree: Trim the top third of the tree to balance root loss and encourage new growth. Protect the Tree: Use tree guards or mulch around the base to protect against pests and keep the soil moist. By following these steps, you'll give your apple tree the best start and set the stage for a healthy, productive future!

Remove the container and tease out those roots. Fill the hole: Backfill with the native soil, mixing in some compost as you go. Pat it down gently to remove air pockets without compacting the soil too much. Water it well: Give your tree a good drink right after planting. This helps settle the soil around the roots.

This means that shelter is most needed on the south and southwest, and your orchard will do best if you can plant it on a north or northeast-facing slope, where it will catch the maximum sun. A slope is a great thing to have in an orchard, because it allows cold air to run downhill, and provides frost-free spots at the upper end.

Like this: with wires on each side of the trees with the trees in the middle. Dax. Keep the mulch, it's very useful for an orchard. Rank your trees by their mature height. If you plant smaller trees on the southern side and larger trees on the northern side, this will reduce shading and improve light penetration.
