	Fruit tree propagation - Wikivisual
		Fruit tree propagation is usually carried out asexually by grafting the desired variety onto a suitable rootstock.
		Trees on this stock begin producing fruit within three to four years, and yield up to 90 to 110 lb (50 kg) after some seven or eight years.
		He is also conducting research into the 'coppice-ability' of own-root fruit trees, including an experimental 'Coppice Orchard' project, wherein own-root trees are planted in north-south rows; "When the canopy of the orchard closes, a north-south row will be coppiced and the land in the row used for light demanding crops while the trees regrow.

	Fruit
		Botanically, a fruit is the ripened ovary of a flowering plant, dry or moist and fleshy.
		Some culinary fruits are not fruits in the botanical sense, for example rhubarb: only the stems are edible.
		Some fruits have coats covered with spikes or hooked burrs, to prevent themselves from being eaten by animals and/or to stick to the hairs of animals, using them as dispersal agents.

	Fruit Trees Pruning Tips
		Fruit trees are usually pruned according to one of three generally recognized forms.
		As fruit is borne near the base of the current season’s shoots, it is necessary to maintain an annual supply of one-year-old wood from which fruit bearing shoots will develop.

	Growing Pears in Virginia
		Trees grown from seed will not be of the same variety as the seed and rarely is the eating quality of the fruit acceptable.
		Large nurseries, specializing in fruit trees, produce the rootstocks, bud or graft the variety onto the rootstock, grow the tree in the nursery for a year, and ship the trees to the consumer.
		If trees can't be planted for several weeks, then leave the trees in the bag and place the bag in a cool place, such as the basement, the garage, or the north side of a building.

		A fruit tree is a tree bearing fruit — the structures formed by the ripened ovary of a flower containing one or more seeds.
		However, because all trees of flowering plants produce fruit (essentially all trees except tree ferns and gymnosperms), the term in horticultural usage applies to trees providing fruit as human food.
		Types of fruits are described and defined elsewhere (see Fruit), but would include fruit in a culinary sense as well as some nut bearing trees, like walnuts.

	About the Apple -- Fruit
		Some trees are produced with a dwarfing "interstem" between a standard rootstock and the tree, resulting in two grafts.

	The Fine Art of Espalier--Part III - Trucs d'artan
		Attaching your scaffold branches in the desired form should be done from one to three times during the summer, as a function of the complexity of the form.
		As espaliered trees are subjected to intense pruning and 'braking' of growth with training, in general, rootstocks permitting vigorous growth should be used.
		This variation of the cordon (single fruiting stem) is more satisfying than the single horizontal cordon, in which a single stem is bent to the horizontal in one direction only, as you need fewer trees to create a 'fence' of the same length.

	Physiology of Pruning Fruit Trees
		Pruning fruit trees is somewhat of an art based on an understanding of plant physiology and development.
		Lateral buds form in the axils of leaves and are often referred to as lateral buds or axillary buds.

	Mango
		Grown for its large, colorful and delicious fruit, the medium to large evergreen mango tree is also attractive in the home landscape.
		Because trees are normally grown in containers of soilless media, much of the outer layer of media should be washed off the sides and top of the root ball immediately prior to setting the tree in the ground.
		Young trees can also be draped with a blanket or similar covering just prior to a predicted cold spell--pull the corners outward and anchor them to the ground.
