Fruit trees and shrubs can produce variable yields depending on whether (and how) they are tended and on what position they are grown.Good insolation and a permeable substrate are especially important.Plants cannot overgrow each other (like hedge plants), so it is important to precisely define the spacing of trees and shrubs before planting.
It is good to know the type of rootstock, because it determines the growth strength, yield, fruit quality . Thanks to the rootstock, the noble variety gains a strong root system, which allows it to survive also in less favorable environmental conditions.
Experience shows that trees in particular are planted too densely. Therefore, it is best to choose varieties on dwarf or semi-dwarf rootstocks.Such trees are easy to care for, and the fruits are practically at your fingertips. Trees on vigorously growing rootstocks are generally only planted in large gardens.
Attempts to tame such trees by cutting the shoots strongly are counterproductive, because it causes a very strong growth of young shoots.
