POLLINATION OF APPLE TREES At least two apple varieties should be used to insure pollina- tion. Cross-pollination is possible only when varieties bloom at approximately the same time, i.e., late blooming varieties should be planted with mid-season or late bloomers. Wind does not carry pollen from one apple tree to another, therefore bees are essential for proper pollination. Spraying programs should be adjusted to avoid killing bee populations. Do not spray while trees are in bloom. Premature fruit drop may be caused by improper pollination. All trees should be planted within 100 feet of pollinator tree.

All fruit trees require full sun and annual fertilization. Fruit trees can be susceptible to a variety of insects and diseases which will negatively impact both the quality and quantity of your harvest yield. We recommend you begin a spraying regimen by using Bonide fruit tree spray which contains both insecticide and fungicides. Spray your tree when new growth first appears, and again when flower buds are fully formed and about to open. Spray again after all flower petals have fallen. Spray one more time when fruit is just forming, and then any time if needed as long as it is at least three weeks before harvest date.

Our experi- enced staff will supply you with the approximate coverage rates (for either new lawns or for overseeding) and recommend the proper fertilizers to use. Please ask for more information.

SOD 5 ft. x 2 ft./10 sq. ft. $ 5.95 per roll Platt Hill Nursery has freshly cut sod during the growing season. However, availability is very much dependent on weather conditions (i.e., too much rain prevents the cutting of the sod). Please call ahead if in doubt.

PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION OF SOD: 1. All areas to be sodded should be finish graded. Grade should be 1” below walks and drives, so sod will be even when installed. 2. Do not install sod on a hard surface. Use mushroom compost or peat moss to create a soft layer for the sod to settle into. 3. Start laying sod along a straight edge, such as a drive or walk. Lay sod tight against each other. DO NOT OVERLAP. Trim off excess with a sharp knife. Sod should be laid with joints staggered. 4. As soon as an area large enough to sprinkle is laid, start watering and completely saturate. Water sod thoroughly with a penetration of about 6 inches. 5. Water daily for the first three days. Water every other day for the first week, then as needed. Water 2-4 hours per sprinkler setting. Mow when leaf growth reaches 3-4 inches. Lawn fertilizer available at Platt Hill Nursery can be applied 30 days after installation.

PLANTING TIPS • Dig the planting hole up to twice as wide as the diameter of the root ball of the plant. • The depth of the hole should be the same as the depth of the root ball. All woody plants should be planted so that they are the same level in the soil as they were originally growing in the container. • Remove the plant from the plastic container and carefully place the root ball into the hole. With balled and burlapped stock, cut all the string at the base of the plant. Leave the burlap on the ball. • Backfill with a mixture of one part blended compost and three parts soil. • When watering the plant, form a basin around its base so the water will soak in rather than run off. Water slowly and thor- oughly until all the soil has settled and the ball is saturated. It may be necessary to straighten the plant and backfill firmly with more soil. • In times of wet, cool weather (spring & fall) water thoroughly every two weeks. It is critically Important that the soil dry out between waterings. In times of dry weather, a thorough watering once a week should be suffi- cient. For larger plants, a root feeder is ideal for watering deep down. • Give special attention to plants set so close to a wall that an overhanging roof blocks rainfall.They will require regular watering from April thru November. • Spreading a two inch layer of shredded hardwood mulch over the root zone will aid in keeping the soil evenly moist.
