A.C says... Ive got all my trees growing together ,alot companion planted.With all the trees being close you have to do some serious spade work during winter to stop the dominant trees roots becoming like parasites on young trees sucking the life out of them.You just start to notice why some trees are very slow to grow but dont realise that tree roots from adjacent tree is taking all the nutrient from younger tree. So in winter I sharpen the spade and also use a mattock with a axe blade and go around the perimeter of the trees and sever the roots.It keeps the trees under control .Its the work you have to perform for having a higher number of trees in a small area.This work must be done during the trees dormant period. | About the Author AC1 Cowandilla S.A 19th September 2014 5:17pm #UserID: 8055 Posts: 103 View All AC1's Edible Fruit Trees |
