Advantages of Dwarf Fruit Tree Orchards

Advantages of Dwarf Fruit Tree Orchards

Fruit trees, which grow into dwarf trees due to the rootstock type they have, bear fruits in the same quality of traditional trees. Since their roots are dwarf sized you can do high density planting. Therefore, you get more fruits from smaller gardens.

Take a look at our rich varieties of fruit trees and find the best fit for your garden.

Growing Pears

Climate Requirements

  • Pear is a moderate climate fruit and it is more resistant to the winter colds. In the ecologies that late spring frosts happen frequently, planting the varieties with late blossom time matters a lot with regard to earnings.
  • Even though there are differences among the varieties, pear requires chill hours up to 1000-1500 hours under 7.2 ºC in winter.

Soil Requirements

  • Permeable, deep, warm and rich in nutrient soils are suitable for growing pears. Even though pear is nonselective in soil type, if it is cultivated in the dry and stony soil, this affects fruit quality negatively. Likewise, pears cultivated in heavy and humid soils will have a bad taste and short storage life.

Creating Garden

  • It is beneficial to prefer healthy, grafted and one-year-old fruit trees when a closing garden will be created. If pear-A is used as the rootstock, spacing should be 3x4 m for most of the varieties and if the pear seedling is used, 5x7 m is enough for spacing for most of the varieties.

Rootstocks

  • First rootstocks used for pear in Turkey were the wild ones found in nature. Later on, intense fruit tree production has begun and pear seedling and pear-A are used as rootstocks. Advantages of pear-A are it generates small trees and produces good quality fruits in case of regular watering. On the other hand, the disadvantage of pear-A is that it has graft incompatibly problems with some of the varieties such as Williams, Coscia and Starkrimson. For the incompatible varieties, B.Hardy should be used as the medium rootstock.
