Early Season Tips for Shrubs, Trees, and Orchards

Gardeners are familiar with preparing their gardens in the fall and early spring for next year's plantings. Don't forget that trees and shrubs need care before their growing season as well.

Early season tree, shrub and orchard or garden care can be an easier job if you maintain an active presence in your garden year round. Keep an eye out for diseased, broken or misshaped and prune those away as you see them. Regular winter pruning is essential to maintain the health and vigor of your deciduous trees and shrubs. Proper pruning will insure you a wonderfully shaped tree or bush and optimal fruit and vegetable production.

It's important to know just where the tree bears fruit, when you prune. For instance, apple trees flower on wood several years old, so you would prune the tree only to strengthen the fruit-bearing branches.

Japanese plums require heavy pruning in order to bear larger fruit. In-depth information on pruning techniques can be found in your library or from a nursery or garden supply center. Many offer free pruning classes. Remember to use the right tools and techniques for your particular trees or plants. Shrubs need pruning, but only as much as necessary to maintain the health of the plant and to restore dying, flowerless branches.

Good orchard or garden management also consists of protecting your tress, fruits and vegetables from pests and diseases. A regular program of dormant spraying and treating your trees and plants with a sensible environmentally responsible pesticide control can prevent large insect inflections diseases from damaging or even killing your trees, shrubs or plants.

Equally important in the care of your home garden or orchard is the proper fertilization. Keeping a diary of your fertilization schedule is helpful in determining the proper timing for the best results. Depending upon the age, soil conditions, water availability and the over all health of your tree will help you to determine how best to fertilize. Since soil conditions vary across the nation, it is usually more efficient to purchase a ready to apply fertilizer mix than second guess what separate nutrients your soil needs. Tree roots can grow much farther than a few feet around the trunk of the tree. Start fertilizing at the drip line; where the outer most branches would drip if it were raining on them. Feeding roots can be shallow, so be gentle when disturbing the soil in these areas. Also, note what grows around your trees, bushes or plants. Planting a permanent nitrogen fixing cover crop like hairy vetch or clover can add nirogen to the soil and attract beneficial insects when in bloom. It can also suppress the weeds that may grow in your orchard or garden and can add valuable nutrients while protecting the bare soil around your trees or vegetables.
