When planning a cottage or backyard plot, many amateur gardeners are faced with a difficult choice, on what to concentrate their efforts, which one should they prefer - a fruit orchard, berry plantings or vegetable beds? The problem is that the efficiency of using each square meter of the garden plot directly depends on what crops will be grown on it. Take, for example, fruit trees. Depending on the strength of growth and stock, they must be planted at a distance of 1,5 to 4 m from each other. If you make simple calculations, it will become obvious that even one seedling of each fruit crop will need more than one weave of land for planting! But you also want to have a certain variety of varieties, differing among themselves in terms of ripening, color, taste, etc. A reasonable question arises: what to do in this situation? How to use the available garden area in the most optimal way?
An excellent solution to this problem can be the cultivation of fruit trees, on which several varieties of a single fruit crop are grafted at once. Such trees are often called “multi-grade” or “family”. And then there is the wonderful term “tree-garden”, which very precisely underlines the main feature of such plants.
Imagine an apple tree on which red, yellow and bright green fruits of various shapes, sizes and ripening periods ripen at the same time. Such a tree looks truly fascinating.
In the case of stone-seed crops, the situation is even more interesting. The fact is that all the stone fruits belong to the same biological genus, and therefore are well compatible with each other during vaccination. So you should not be surprised that the same tree can please its owners with fruits and plums, and cherry plums, and even apricot.
From a practical point of view, “multi-variety” trees have a number of undoubted advantages:
- Significantly save space when planting a fruit garden. Ideal for creating small gardens, as they provide an opportunity to harvest different varieties of fruit crops in a small area. One “multi-grade” tree is enough to get the fruits of summer, autumn or winter ripening.
- Allow to get a stable crop. For example, if some of the varieties grafted on a “multi-sorted” tree, due to the periodicity of their fruiting “rest”, all the food goes to other varieties, thereby significantly increasing the size and quality of their fruits.
- They show a higher yield due to the formation of the best conditions for cross-pollination.
- They have a very high decorative effect in the period of fruit ripening.
When creating “multi-grade” trees, it is necessary to take into account the strength of growth, winter hardiness and other important characteristics of each variety, as well as compatibility of varieties among themselves. Grades planted on one tree should not only be well compatible with the stock, but also have similar biological parameters, which will contribute to the even and full development of plants, their friendly flowering and abundant fruiting.
The nursery of Agroholding plants “POISK” offers a wide range of seedlings of “multi-grade” trees:
- Apple tree, pear - two and three year old seedlings with two, three or more varieties. ;
- cherry, plum - two and three year old saplings with two or three varieties.
The root system of the trees is packaged in peat and agronomic net.
Tree-garden - multi-grade tree (on which more than 1 grade is grafted)
A multi-grade tree gives a unique opportunity to get fruits of different colors, size, taste and ripening time from one tree. Increase productivity by improving pollination due to the proximity of different varieties, save space on your site. The assortment of multi-apple trees includes:
- Tree-garden “Apple Simirenko - Mekintosh” with two grafted varieties;
- Tree-garden "Apple Simirenko - Spartan - Mekintosh" with three grafted varieties;
