Plums

Plum

  • Plum Irrigation

  • The following phases are critical for the plum:
    - before the blossoming season in April;
    - leaves growing up in May;
    - the beginning of June;
    - fruits growing up in July and August;
    - lately in the autumn.

    Plum loves soil humidity.  Best irrigation for plums is the drip irrigation.

  • Plum Fertilization
  • There're used nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizers and also natural fertilizers which are full of the important for fruit-trees iron, manganese, boron, molybdenum, cobalt and zinc.

    The optimal nitrogen rate is 50 g/m2. it is spread in two halfs - the first one in the spring before the blossoming season, and the second - in the end of May or the beginning of June.
    The phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are spread together (50-60 kg/decare).

    The best way to fertigate is the drip irrigation fertilization. Drip irrigation is the best solution for plums fertilization with soluable fertilizers.

    The best time to spread the natural fertilizer is in the autumn but if you miss it, you can do it early in the spring. The optimal rate for this fertilizer is 2-3 t/decare for rich soils or  up to 6 t/decare for poor soils.

  • Plum Planting
  • Plum planting is usually in the autumn. The spaces between the fruit-trees depend on their sort. Usually the spaces are 6x5 or 5x4m. If the field is ploughed, you have to make planting holes 60x60x50sm or,if it's not,the holes must be 100x100x70sm. The soil that is digged up should be mixed with 15-20kg nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. After that you have to cut 1-2sm off the healthy sapling roots and cut off the damaged roots till you get a healthy tissue. Then roots have to be dipped in a squashed fresh cattle manure with soil. The planting is made by two workers. One of the workers puts the sapling in the middle of the hole and the other fills the hole with soil. After planting you water the sapling with 20-30 l and you have to strew with dry soil or manure.

    Drip iirgation is the best way to irrigate and fertigate the plums. Drip irrigation guarantee the development ot the young plum trees. More on Plums irrigation.

Feijoa

Feijoa

  • Growing the Feijoa
  • You can grow the feijoa by using parts of a grown plant or by using seeds.
    The first method has to be applied in October-December with the help of growing stimulant for 16-18 hours. The temperature has to be 26-28˚С and the air humidity has to be very high (90-100%). Extra light is needed.
    The best time for the seed growing is in February. You have to use cups and mini conservatories.
    When the plant comes into leaf it has a branched crown. It’s not recommended to prune it because the blossoms and the fruits are developed on the branches in the running year. You just have to pinch the young plants when they reach 20sm height.
    The feijoa will grow fast enough and that’s why you have to replant it yearly.
Red currant

Currant/Ribes

  • Currant culturing
  • Soil cultivation before planting the currant is the same like with the raspberry and the blackberry. The currant is usually planted in the autumn after the leaf fall but before the middle of March. The row gaps are 2-2,5 m and 1,5 m between the plants.
  •  
  • Currant pruning
  • The currant tpruning during the first two years is very important for the high yields and the fruit quality. It is performed after the leaf fall but before the middle of March. There are forming pruning and fertility pruning.
