  Fruit tree propagation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fruit tree propagation is usually carried out asexually by grafting the desired variety onto a suitable rootstock.
In effect this means that the original Bramley apple tree, for example, was a successful variety grown from a pip, but that every Bramley since then has been propagated by taking cuttings of living matter from that tree, or one of its descendants.
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 tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

The apple is a tree and its pomaceous fruit, of the species Malus domestica in the rose family Rosaceae.
The apple tree was probably the earliest tree to be cultivated, and apples have remained an important food in all cooler climates.
The trees are susceptible to a number of fungal and bacterial diseases and insect pests.

 Fruit tree propagation: Encyclopedia topic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
Propagation of fruit trees (fruit trees: Tree bearing edible fruit) is usually carried out asexually by grafting (grafting: The act of grafting something onto something else) the desired variety onto a suitable rootstock.
The essentials of our present methods of propagating of fruit tree (fruit tree: Tree bearing edible fruit) s date from the time of the Romans (Romans: A New Testament book containing an exposition of the doctrines of Saint Paul; written in AD 58), who were apparently the first to discover grafting.
Though this works well for some plants (such as fig (fig: Mediterranean tree widely cultivated for its edible fruit) s and olive (olive: One-seeded fruit of the European olive tree usually pickled and used as a relish) s), most fruit trees are unsuited to this method.

 Apple   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
Apples are the fruit (specifically a pome) of a tree of the genus Malus, which is a member of the Rose family (Rosaceae), and have been cultivated throughout recorded history.
Some trees are produced with a dwarfing "interstem" between a standard rootstock and the tree, resulting in two grafts.
Although the "fruit" in the religious book of Genesis is not identified, the apple is mentioned in the Bible exactly ten times: in Deuteronomy, Psalms and Proverbs (originating the phrase "apple of your eye" in English); Song of Songs, Joel and Zechariah.

 Plum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
Its fruit is sweet, juicy and edible, and it can be eaten fresh or used in jam-making or other recipes.
When it flowers in the early spring, a plum tree will be covered in blossom, and in a good year approximately 50% of the flowers will be pollinated and become plums.
If the weather is too dry the plums will not develop past a certain stage, but will fall from the tree while still tiny green buds, and if it is unseasonably wet or if the plums are not harvested as soon as they are ripe, the fruit may develop a fungal condition called brown rot.

 FRUIT
The mature size of a fruit tree is determined by rootstocks and sometimes by an INTERSTEM graft.
Fruit trees are deep rooted, so good drainage of the subsoil is critical to proper root development.
After planting, all fruit trees should be pruned to a height of 24 to 28 inches.

 Fruit tree forms - PermaWiki
The shapes of most fruit trees can be manipulated by pruning and training in order to increase yield, or to improve their suitability for different situations and conditions.
Pruning a tree to a pyramid shape means that trees can be planted closer together.
Not all trees will accept all of the shapes above- apples and pears do well as cordons and espaliers for example, whereas cherries prefer to be fanned.

Prune fruit trees to produce a good crop of fruit and to regulate the shape and bearing habits of the tree and quality of the fruit.
Trees grow differently in different soils and different microclimates so trees are not pruned the same.
Pruning procedures vary with the type, age, and variety of trees but prune all fruit trees the day you put them in the ground and at least once per year thereafter.
