subject: Information About Apple [print this page] Apple, the name of a related family of trees is increased, and POME fruit trees. Apple tree, plant leaves, grown mainly in temperate climates in the world. Apple leaves broadly oval and somewhat hairy on the bottom. Flowers in bloom have a rounded appearance. Some apple blossoms are white, but most of apple blossoms have stripes or tints to grow. Apple wood is hard, durable, and very smooth.
Physical characteristics of fruit are subject to fluctuations. Skin color can range from green to red, black. Design, are also varied and include oblate and oblong fruits and fruits of a size not more than a cherry, or as big as a medium-sized orange.
Early apple farmers were selected higher difficulties, and wild seeds are spread by grafting. Currently, many apple varieties developed by crossing parents desired controlled. Charity changes, a number of standards are also a source of new varieties. In general, I think that the modern apple varieties produced by natural cross-pollination involving several species, because modern varieties heterozygous-that is, they do not reproduce true to type.
Apple trees are best adapted to areas where the average temperature is approached or reached the freezing point for at least two months. Cold exact requirements vary for each change. Trees to withstand temperatures from -40 C (-40 F).
Apple growing is a very special business and the trend towards larger garden, mainly because of expensive mechanical sprayers are used to control diseases and insects. Insect pests including codling moth, the apple maggot, red banded leaf roller, aphids, leaf hoppers, mites, San Jose scale, and oyster-shell scale. Rats, mice, especially pine and grassland and rabbits, causing heavy damage to trees, if proper control measures are used.
One system is based on net culture, with winter cover crops planted in the garden, other methods of permanent land use and soil mulch. If a permanent grass or ground system is used, additional fertilizer is necessary to compensate for organic nutrients are absorbed by the grass. If a pure culture is used, no additional processing is recommended after the first week in August, to harden off the trees, should be adjusted to a lower temperature of autumn and winter.
Apple trees are propagated vegetative by grafting or budding. In this method, a seed (shoot of the desired varieties) is inserted into the base of the stem or trunk of a tree known as a seed fund. Most trees propagated, however, on seedling rootstocks. Some size-controlling rootstocks are available.
Most varieties require cross pollination of apples suffered enough. Some varieties, known as triploids, there is no value as pollinators, because their genetic makeup. Two diploid pollinated varieties should be submitted to pollinate each other, as well as triploid.
