A good rule of thumb is to use one-eighth of a pound of fertilizer for each year of age of the tree. In late May or early June, spend about a 30 minutes with each tree, thinning fruit that sets in groups of three to four fruit per spur. Whether a tree is young or old, you will want to reduce the fruit number to one fruit per spur, and the fruit should also be about 6 inches apart.
In spring to early summer, control codling moth. You will need to spray an insecticide two to three times, starting days after full bloom. Place a few pheromone traps in your trees to monitor insect populations, then spray when the counts get to five moths in a trap. You can also use Cyd-X ,a virus, or Spinosad, an organic insecticide, to get good control of codling moth. If your area has apple maggots, you may need to spray in late July with Malathion or pyrethrin.
Red sticky balls can be hung in the trees to monitor apple maggot populations. If you have a successful summer you will harvest about a dozen fruit from each of your small trees. Now that you are into the third year, you are getting pretty knowledgeable about when to spray, when to prune and how to train your trees. You are getting smarter at the right time because your tree is getting larger and you are being challenged to know how to control its size. Aggressive pruning of a young tree will result in the tree becoming vigorous, while too little pruning leads to a dense tree that will produce too many small fruits with poor color.
You will need to spend about an hour pruning these two trees. You will also need to spend about an hour each time you spray your trees. You have probably used up the initial spray materials you bought the first year, so it is necessary to buy another round of lime-sulfur, copper and horticultural oil. When you get to the spring you probably will still have enough insecticide left from last year to make it through this third year.
During the third season, you will see quite a few fruit spurs forming on your branches. You will need to do more fruit thinning than the previous year. You will also have more fruit on the tree to protect from wild animals. This may turn out to be one of your greatest frustrations as a fruit grower. You have put a lot of energy into producing fruit only to see the birds, foxes and raccoons eat it. This is the year that you have been waiting for. Your trees are now entering their productive years.
For most apples, these productive years start around the fourth or fifth year and can continue for 30 years or more if the trees are well cared for. You will spend quite a bit more time pruning this year and in the years ahead than in previous years, especially if you get lazy and decide to skip a year.
Budget about one hour for pruning and for training each tree from this point forward. You will make the same two to three sprays of fungicide and insecticide that you made in the third year, but you will be using more products each year as your trees get larger. You may decide your 1-gallon sprayer is not large enough to give your trees good coverage.
Keep using pheromone traps and lures, and monitor your insects in the traps. This may allow you to reduce or eliminate several sprays. Shop our mature apple trees for sale and buy apple trees online. You need at least two apple trees, so they can pollinate each other. Plant pear trees in early spring. Plan to plant at least two varieties of pear trees, as they will need to be cross-pollinated to produce fruit.
Make sure the varieties are compatible with each other. Space standard-size trees 20 to 25 feet apart. Whether they be abandoned heirlooms or wild seedlings, tucked in the woods or growing alongside an old road, apple trees live on for hundreds of years.
More and more people are renovating these old —and sometimes forgotten— trees, not only to enhance production and fruit quality, but also as an act of reverence. The average bearing age of fruit trees is as follows; apple — 4 to 5 years, sour or tart cherry — 3 to 5 years, pear — 4 to 6 years, and plum — 3 to 5 years.
