Blackmoor Fruit Growers Handbook Blackmoor Fruit Growers Handbook © Blackmoor Estate Limited Issue BLAC08/09 1 Fruit trees and soft fruit bushes are a very sound investment. Blackmoor Introduction Properly cared for they respond by producing attractive blossom, in turn followed by a crop of fresh luscious fruit. The trees add a new dimension to your garden and the soft fruit gives added interest. Handbook Planting Position Staking and Planting Fruit For most fruits choose a warm sheltered position, avoiding wet or shaded spots, Select a fine day for planting when the soil is not sticky. When planting a tree it is although soft fruit will tolerate some shade. Avoid north walls except when planning necessary to drive a 5-8 cm diameter stake 45-60 cm into the soil. The length above blackberries which will crop successfully, albeit, a little later in the season. Crops the soil should leave the top 10 cm clear of the tree head. Upright “Minarettes” also are likely to be spares in frosty situations. If birds are troublesome a fruit cage require an individual stake but this needs to be 1.8 metres above the soil level. can be erected. Espalier and fan-trained trees are planted against a wall or free standing fence for Soil Preparation training as illustrated (Figs 5 & 6). Individual stakes are not required. Prior to planting eliminate all perennial weeds. If the soil is acid mix in lime. Add Blackberries, loganberries, tayberries and raspberries, collectively known as cane-fruit, organic matter such as compost or manure to light sandy soils. On heavier soils, which require the support of wire work. It is desirable to erect this before planning. are poorly drained, planting on raised beds is beneficial. The incorporation of sand is Sometimes existing fences and walls can be utilised by attaching parallel wires with also helpful. Before planting dig in a handful of fertiliser such as ‘Growmore’ and a “Vine eyes” or equivalent. Fencing details are shown under “Soft Fruit Culture”. light sprinkling of Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts) to each planting position. Having inserted the stake or erected the fence-work dig a hole around the stake or selected position at the base of the fence. For trees the hole needs to be 30 cm deep and 60 cm across, (see Fig 1) but in the case of soft fruit it can be smaller. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole with a fork. Before removing the plant from its FIG.1 Fruit and Nut Tree container ensure that the compost is thoroughly moist by soaking the pot in a bucket of water. Now the plant can be removed. Note: In the case of raspberries there can be 10 canes in the pot. If so, carefully separate them and plant individually. Having removed the plan, tease out the outer root region which has been restrained by the pot. When planting trees, position these in the hole so that the trunk (stem) is 8 cm from the stake, or in the case of trained trees, position in the desired spot below the fence or against the wall. Keep the stem 8 cm from the wall. The union must be at least 10 cm above the surrounding soil level and the eventual height of the union can easily be adjusted by adding sufficient soil to the bottom of the hole. When you are satisfied that the tree is in position, start returning the broken up soil to the hole. 3 2a MAIN LEADER MULCH 10” SURFACE 2 - 3” SIDE-BRANCH BELOW FINAL LEADER SOIL LEVEL POT SIDE TEASED OUT CRUMBY SOIL LOOSENED / POINT OF CUT WITH A FORK 2b MULCH LATERAL BRANCH LEADER 4 STEM (LEG) SURFACE 1” BELOW FINAL SOIL CRUMBY SOIL LEVEL POT SIDE LOOSENED TEASED WITH A FORK SUB LATERALS OUT Cut to one leaf (1) Cut to three leaves (3) WIRES BAMBOO CANE 3 MAIN LEADER SURFACE MULCH TIES MAIN LEADER 2c 1” BELOW 2a 3” DIA FINAL SOIL CRUMBY SOIL POST MULCH SIDE BRANCH LEADER 5 LEVEL 10” LATERALS POT SIDE LOOSENED SURFACE 2 - 3” TEASED WITH A FORK 3 SIDE-BRANCH OUT BELOW FINAL SHOOTS ON LEADER SOIL LEVEL Blackmoor CENTRAL STEM Shaking the tree occasionallyPOT helps SIDE the soil to trickle in.

  • Apples Catalogue 2019
    ADAMS PEARMAIN Herefordshire, England 1862 Oct 15 Nov Mar 14 Adams Pearmain is a an old-fashioned late dessert apple, one of the most popular varieties in Victorian England. It has an attractive 'pearmain' shape. This is a fairly dry apple - which is perhaps not regarded as a desirable attribute today. In spite of this it is actually a very enjoyable apple, with a rich aromatic flavour which in apple terms is usually described as Although it had 'shelf appeal' for the Victorian housewife, its autumnal colouring is probably too subdued to compete with the bright young things of the modern supermarket shelves. Perhaps this is part of its appeal; it recalls a bygone era where subtlety of flavour was appreciated - a lovely apple to savour in front of an open fire on a cold winter's day. Tree hardy. Does will in all soils, even clay. AERLIE RED FLESH (Hidden Rose, Mountain Rose) California 1930’s 19 20 20 Cook Oct 20 15 An amazing red fleshed apple, discovered in Aerlie, Oregon, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Aerlie Red Flesh has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality.

  • 5. Organic Orchard
    MucknellAbbey Factsheet #5 Organic Orchard Following the vision laid out in the Land Use Strategy for Mucknell, we are working towards producing most of our food using organic methods, contributing to income generation by selling produce. In February 2011, we planted 31 fruit trees, to form an organic orchard. We sourced most of the trees from Walcot Organic Nursery, in the Vale of Evesham, and the Banns were a gift. We planted separate stands of apples, pears and plums. Crab apples are very good pollinators of all apples, so were planted on the edge of the stand of apples to encourage pollination. We planted Gladstone on a corner, so that its vigorous rootstock is less likely to interfere with the growth of the other trees. We planted other varieties according to their pollination groups, so that Bs are next to A-Cs, Cs are next to B-Ds, etc. We are planning to plant comfrey under the trees, cutting it and leaving it in situ to rot down around the trees as a natural fertiliser.

  • A Manual Key for the Identification of Apples Based on the Descriptions in Bultitude (1983)
    A MANUAL KEY FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF APPLES BASED ON THE DESCRIPTIONS IN BULTITUDE (1983) Simon Clark of Northern Fruit Group and National Orchard Forum, with assistance from Quentin Cleal (NOF). This key is not definitive and is intended to enable the user to “home in” rapidly on likely varieties which should then be confirmed in one or more of the manuals that contain detailed descriptions e.g. Bunyard, Bultitude , Hogg or Sanders . The varieties in this key comprise Bultitude’s list together with some widely grown cultivars developed since Bultitude produced his book. The page numbers of Bultitude’s descriptions are included. The National Fruit Collection at Brogdale are preparing a list of “recent” varieties not included in Bultitude(1983) but which are likely to be encountered. This list should be available by late August. As soon as I receive it I will let you have copy. I will tabulate the characters of the varieties so that you can easily “slot them in to” the key. Feedback welcome, Tel: 0113 266 3235 (with answer phone), E-mail [email protected] Simon Clark, August 2005 References: Bultitude J. (1983) Apples. Macmillan Press, London Bunyard E.A.

Replies have been received from the following countries: Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. This note also includes the documents compiled for the same purpose and submitted to the fifty-second session of the Specialized Section. I. Documents submitted to the 52nd session of the Specialized Section A. UNECE Standard for Apples – List of Varieties At the last meeting the 51 st session of the Specialized Section GE.1 the delegation of the United Kingdom offered to coordinate efforts to simplify the list of apple varieties. The aim was to see what the result would be if we only include the most important varieties that are produced and traded. The list is designed to help distinguish apple varieties by colour groups, size and russeting it is not exhaustive, non-listed varieties can still be marketed. The idea should not be to list every variety grown in every country. The UK asked for views on what were considered to be the most important top thirty varieties. Eight countries sent their views, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, USA, Slovakia, Germany Finland and the Czech Republic.

  • Winter Gardening Newsletter October 30, 2011 Mulching, Bracing And
    Winter Gardening Newsletter by Linda Gilkeson October 30, 2011 Mulching, Bracing and Apple Trees The fall weather is finally with us so thoughts of winter are not far behind.... Mulching: Finally, the leaves are dropping, so you can get out there and rake up a free supply of the best thing you can get for your garden and compost bin. Remember: "Mulching is not optional". If you have bare soil, mulch it to prevent soil erosion and control weeds. If you have crops in the garden, it is even more important to mulch to keep the soil surface from freezing in cold snaps and to avoid frost damage to the 'shoulders' of root crops. If carrots, beets and other roots are damaged by frost, that's where the rot starts and spreads to the rest of the roots. At this time of year, we want fluffy insulating mulches, rather than denser materials, such as crop waste, that pack down into a soggy layer. Leaves are ideal, but you can use bracken fern, straw, reed canary grass or anything else that you can get easily. Any kind of leaves are fine, including big leaf maple, oak and arbutus. The only exception is black walnut leaves, as some plants (e.g., tomatoes) are sensitive to the compounds in the leaves. Straw is usually cheaper at this time of year. You might find a grower locally who is selling baled reed canary grass, which, on Salt Spring at least, cost about half the price of baled straw.
