Time to Plant & Prune Fruit Trees &
Roses in Southern California
January is a good time to plant dormant fruit trees and roses
for wonderful springtime color and fruit harvest. With Southern California's
normally mild winters, a variety of vegetable and berry plants will also do
well when planted in January.
Plant dormant fruit and rose trees: Bare root fruit trees and
roses may appear lifeless in winter but will grow heartily in spring and summer
if planted now. Plant apricot, plum, apple, pear and peach trees, and all types
of rose bushes. Add organic compost planting mix to the soil to increase soil
aeration and to keep in moisture.
Plant California Native Vegetation: Winter is the ideal time
to plant California native vegetation. Winter rains give them a healthy start.
Plant such natives as iris, Manzanita, sycamore, yarrow and Matilija poppy.
Plant Winter Vegetables: For gardeners who can't wait until
spring to plant a vegetable garden, cool weather vegetables are ready to plant
in January. They include artichokes, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots,
peas, potatoes spinach and strawberries.
Extending the Life of Poinsettias: Poinsettia flowers will usually
remain healthy into March. After March, cut back the stems to no more than
eight inches tall. By June, new growth will begin. Keep the plant in indirect,
natural sunlight and the soil moderately moist. When the weather warms, bring
the plant outside and transplant into a bigger pot. Prune as needed so the
plant is bushy. Flowers will begin to grow in October and reach their peak of
beauty in November and December.
The Spacing of Planting Fruit Trees
Planting fruit trees can be a rewarding experience for the
home gardener. You will have lovely trees in your yard, many which have
gorgeous blooms. You will have the ability to watch it grow from a young little
tree into a strong cultivar that produces a wonderful harvest for you to
pick.It is a joy to make desserts, jellies and sauces from fruit that you grew
yourself. So, there are many perks.
While some varieties are hybrids that are made to be able to
grow close together for reasons of having a hedge of trees for privacy, most do
need appropriate spacing.
This is important for three main reasons. The first is that
if trees are crowded together, they will not have the proper room to grow. A
whip, which is a young tree that does not have branches yet, or even a one or
two year old trees will rapidly grow into a 10, 15 or even 25 foot tree at its
mature height. When put too close together, this can cause them to warp out of
shape as they compete for space.
A tree that is supposed to have a round shape can quickly
grow in odd directions as they struggle to share room with another.
The second vital reason is that they will be competing for
sunlight, water and the nutrients that are found in the soil. Sunlight is very
important for just about every fruit tree; it is needed to grow fast, healthy
and strong. Water is essential for growth and a tree that is too close in
proximity will be a competitor for this element. Also, the soil naturally
contains many nutrients that are essential for tree growth and two trees should
have their own adequate supply.
