The entire plant may be needed for the most accurate diagnosis. This is especially important with vascular and root rot pathogens. It is important to look at roots and lower stem to have whole picture of the problem. Digging out the plant helps to preserve the integrity of the root system.

Submit a generous amount of plant material. If the plants are small i. seedlings , send several plants. Samples from different plant species should be bagged separately and labeled. A mixture of living tissue and necrotic tissue is needed to isolate the pathogen and diagnose the disease.

Raised beds should measure 18 inches to 24 inches high and 4 feet to 5 feet wide. To determine fertility needs, collect soil samples for analysis. Cooperative Extension centers. Take soil samples from two depths: the first from the top 6 inches to 8 inches of soil and the second from the lower profile, 16 inches to 18 inches in depth.

A soil pH of approximately 6. North Carolina soils, however, are typically more acidic lower pH. Follow the directions included with your soil test results to adjust your pH, if recommended, by adding lime to a depth of 16 inches to 18 inches, preferably before planting. Note that in acidic soils, even when nutrients are present, they may be locked up in the soil and unavailable to roots.

In this case, additional fertilizer does not benefit the tree but may run off or leach to pollute storm water. Because it is virtually impossible to change the climate or soils, always select cultivars known to thrive in the given conditions. Fruit and nut trees that look promising on the glossy pages of mail-order catalogs are destined to fail if grown in incompatible climates and soils.

Climatic conditions and soils vary greatly from one region to another in North Carolina, so the best way to minimize stress and limit pesticide use is to choose plants that are well-adapted to the particular environment.

Another factor to consider when selecting fruit and nut trees is the level of management required. Low-maintenance crops, such as pecans, figs, and persimmons, grow with little attention to training, fertility, or insect and disease management.

Conversely, peaches, nectarines, and plums require intensive management. Table 15—1 lists fruit trees that grow well and produce reliable crops in North Carolina. Table 15—2 includes often-overlooked native fruit crops that grow well in North Carolina. Tree fruits not included on the lists may grow in North Carolina, but few produce quality fruit on a regular basis.

Apricot and cherry trees grow in certain areas where the climate is favorable, but need careful management and will not consistently bear fruit.

Most tropical fruits do not grow outdoors anywhere in North Carolina. Edible bananas, for example, need a longer growing season to produce fruit and cannot survive North Carolina winters. Table 15—1. Fruit cultivar recommendations for North Carolina.

Malus domestica Figure 15—1. Requirements vary. Some cultivars are self-fruitful. Others require a pollinator. Ficus carica. Prunus persica.

Pyrus communis. Pyrus pyrifolia Figure 15—7. Carya illinoinensis. Prunus domestica. Table 15—2. Tree fruits and nuts native to North Carolina. American persimmon Diospyros virginiana. After selecting the planting site and type of fruit or nut crop, identify a cultivar that thrives in your particular landscape conditions.

Novice growers often try to plant the same cultivars they find in their local grocery stores. These cultivars, however, are often grown far away in different climates. Instead, plant cultivars that are known to flourish in local conditions and are resistant to local insects and diseases.

Select peach varieties that require at least chilling hours in order to delay spring bloom and minimize frost damage to the flowers and fruit. Chilling hours are not an important consideration in North Carolina with other types of fruit and nut trees. Almost all commercially available fruit trees have their top portions, or scions , of the desired fruit cultivar grafted or budded onto a root system.

Scions are selected based on desirable factors, such as tasty fruit, large size, or extended shelf life. The rootstock is selected for its effect on the mature size of the tree dwarfing to full size , resistance to certain pest problems, or performance in certain soil conditions.

Fruit trees are commonly available with a scion from one tree grafted to the rootstock of another tree because most fruit trees do not come true from seed due to cross-pollination.

Grafting is also beneficial because grafted trees bear fruit more quickly than seed-grown trees. Apple trees, for example, grow on many different cultivars of rootstocks Figure 15— Some rootstocks limit growth, resulting in dwarf trees, while others produce trees that crop early and are easier to manage than full-sized trees.

Fruit size is not significantly affected by the rootstock. Two categories of growth habit are included in Table 15—3: spur and nonspur. Spurs are short, stubby, slow-growing branches that support multiple fruit blossoms and remain fruitful for 7 to 10 years.

Spur-type cultivars have more fruiting spurs and a more compact growth habit. Table 15 — 3. Commercially available apple rootstocks and their characteristics. Table 15—4 gives the recommended distance between trees for both spur and nonspur cultivars.

Note that vigorous cultivars should be spaced farther apart. Table 15—4. Recommended planting distances for apple trees grown on size-controlling rootstocks.

Apple trees on rootstocks of a size class smaller than M. Stakes or a trellis system support the fruit load in the early years and help to optimize growth. Use foot stakes and drive them 2 feet into the ground. Stakes are commonly made from 1-inch-diameter aluminum electrical conduit or ½-inch angle iron.

Tie the trees to the stake. Strips of plastic or heavy­-duty canvas or cloth work as well for staking as ties do. Peaches, nectarines, and plums are also affected by rootstock.

In the Southeast, trees are susceptible to peach tree short life PTSL , a condition that causes sudden death of the tree after only four or five years of growth.

Proper rootstock selection, nematode suppression, and cultural practices minimize the threat of PTSL. Figure 15— Size of trees grown on commercially available rootstocks shown as a percentage of the size they would reach if grown from a seedling.

Once you select a fruit or nut tree type, and its cultivar and rootstock, it is time to shop and carefully evaluate tree quality. Keep the following criteria in mind:. Dan, Flickr CC BY-ND 2. Shinya Suzuki, Flickr CC BY-ND 2. Kathleen Moore CC BY 2. Krzysztof Jaracz, Pixabay CC0.

Scott Bauer, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Wikimedia CC0. The best time to plant a fruit or nut tree in North Carolina is late fall or early winter.

When trees are planted in the fall, the roots grow through the winter, resulting in greater tree growth during the first season—which ultimately leads to faster vigorous growth.

Young fruit trees are commonly shipped bare root with the exposed roots wrapped in moist sawdust. Plant trees as soon after purchase as possible. To plant a tree, dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and as deep as the root ball, making sure not to pack down the soil Figure 15— Cut off any damaged roots at the point of injury.

Shorten roots that are especially long and do not fit in the hole. Roots that are not shortened or spread out can wrap around the tree hole and girdle the root system, eventually resulting in tree death. When planting a grafted tree, ensure that the graft union is at least 2 inches above the soil.

When graft unions are planted below the soil surface, the top portion, or scion, often grows roots and negates the effect of the grafted root system.

After the tree is in place, fill the hole with native soil. Never add fertilizer to the planting hole. Fertilizers are very caustic and can burn and kill the roots of young trees. After the hole is backfilled, water the area well. Applying fertilizer routinely without knowing whether it is needed results in poor fruit quality and excessive tree growth.

Over - fertilization also wastes money and contributes to environmental pollution. In addition to soil analyses, simple observation of the amount of vegetative growth helps in managing fertilizer needs.

Trees with less than 10 inches to 12 inches of current season's growth on lateral branches may need fertilizer. On the other hand, trees with greater than 18 inches of growth may not need fertilizer for several years.

Excessive tree growth can promote weak wood and pest problems. Broadcast the fertilizer on the soil surface, both inside and outside the dripline of the tree.

Keep fertilizer at least 6 inches away from tree trunks. Apply fertilizer in late winter. In areas with sandy soils, apply half of the recommended amount of fertilizer in late winter and the remainder in May.

If the crop is lost due to frost, do not apply the second half. Organic mulch applied 4 inches to 6 inches deep in a doughnut shape—with the trunk at its center and stretching to the dripline —is an excellent strategy for improving the soil and creating an environment for roots to promote plant growth.

Pruning is removing a portion of a tree to correct or maintain its form and structure. Pruning and training create a strong tree framework that supports fruit production. Improperly trained fruit and nut trees generally have very upright branches with narrow crotch angles Figure 15— These limbs are more likely to break under a heavy fruit load.

Another goal of annual pruning and training is to remove dead, diseased, or damaged limbs. The following sections describe the basic types of pruning cuts, the differences between dormant and summer pruning, and several training systems that include these pruning methods.

When making pruning cuts, it is important to use techniques that promote rapid healing of the cut surface, which minimizes the opportunity for disease and insect infection. Without leaving stubs, make pruning cuts at the point of attachment to a larger branch or trunk.

When making large horizontal cuts, make them at a slight angle so water does not sit on the cut surface. Standing water on a cut surface can result in rot and disease. Do not use wound dressing or pruning paints. The best treatment is to make proper pruning cuts and allow natural healing.

Proper tree training opens up the canopy to maximize light penetration during the growing season. This is important because most deciduous fruit and nut trees form flower buds the summer before they bloom.

Opening the tree canopy also permits air movement through the tree. Good air flow promotes rapid drying to minimize diseases and allows pesticides to penetrate thoroughly.

Finally, a well-shaped fruit or nut tree is aesthetically pleasing, whether in a landscaped yard, garden, or commercial orchard. After planting young trees, prune the top of each tree to promote vigorous growth in the spring.

When working with unbranched trees, cut the tree off at approximately 30 inches to 34 inches tall, 12 inches to 18 inches above where lateral branches are desired.

For larger trees, remove approximately one-third of the treetop to form a whorl of scaffold branches Figure 15— Trees respond very differently to winter, dormant pruning than to summer pruning. Dormant pruning is an invigorating process. During the fall, energy is stored primarily in the trunk and root system to support the top portion of the tree.

If a large portion of the tree is removed during winter dormancy, the tree's energy reserve is unchanged. In the spring, the tree responds by producing many new vigorous upright shoots, called water sprouts. This uses a large portion of the tree's energy, leaving little for fruit growth and development.

Pruning may temporarily and slightly reduce cold hardiness. So avoid winter injury by delaying dormant pruning until late winter. Because pruning is least likely to break their dormancy, prune the latest blooming trees first and the earliest blooming last.

For example, prune apple and pecan trees first, followed by cherry, peach, and plum trees. Tree age also affects cold hardiness. Younger trees are more prone to winter injury from early pruning. Within a particular fruit type, prune the oldest trees first. Summer pruning eliminates the energy or food-producing portion of the tree and results in reduced tree growth.

Pruning begins as soon as the buds start to grow, but it is generally started after vegetative growth is several inches long.

For most purposes, summer pruning is limited to removing the upright and vigorous current season's growth, using only thinning cuts. To minimize the potential for winter injury, do not summer prune after the end of July.

One of the most frequently asked questions is this: "To what shape should I train a fruit tree? There are many different training shapes and forms with multiple variations on each form. A central leader tree is characterized by one main, upright trunk, referred to as the leader Figure 15— Branching generally begins on the leader 24 inches to 36 inches above the soil surface to allow movement under the tree.

Space the selected scaffolds around the trunk, not directly across from or above one another. Above the first scaffold whorl, leave an area of approximately 18 inches to 24 inches without any branches to allow light into the center of the tree.

This light slot is followed with another whorl of scaffolds. Alternating scaffold whorls and light slots are maintained up the leader to the desired maximum tree height.

Figure 15—26 shows A First year pruning, removing leader 30—34 inches above ground; B Dormant pruning, remove leader 24—30 inches above first set of branches; C First summer after planting, determine proper leader a and prune off other wood around the leader b and c ; D The shape of a properly trained central leader tree is like that of a pyramid with 18—24 inches between branches; E Top view of central leader system showing ideal branch spacing around the tree.

Fruit trees are frequently purchased as whips, which are unbranched trees ranging from ½-inch to ¾-inch in diameter. Just before the buds start to grow in the spring, head the tree, at 30 inches to 34 inches above the soil surface, 12 inches to 18 inches above where the first whorl of lateral branches is desired.

Once the tree is headed, permanent branches are selected from buds growing within 4 inches to 12 inches below the heading cut. The first summer after planting is the optimal time to select the leader and the scaffold branches and to remove undesirable growth.

Prune just enough to develop an optimal tree structure. Keep summer pruning to a minimum. Select the leader after the new vegetative growth has reached 3 inches to 4 inches in length. Choose one upright shoot near the top of the tree, usually one growing into the prevailing winds.

Cut the tree back to just above where this leader branches out from the trunk Figure 15—26 C , and remove all competing shoots to approximately 4 inches below it.

During the first year, limit additional summer pruning to removing vigorous shoots growing upright and branches growing toward the ground. Branches that grow toward the ground will affect future maintenance under the tree canopy.

Train and prune young trees every six to eight weeks, May through July June through July in the NC mountains , to remove unwanted growth and to properly orient young branches.

Summer pruning greatly reduces the amount of dormant pruning needed. Failure to summer prune the first year may result in an improperly trained tree that requires drastic dormant pruning to correct tree structure.

All lateral branches should have a wide angle 45 degrees to 90 degrees between the leader and the side shoots. This angle is referred to as the crotch angle. Branches that do not have a wide crotch angle are often overly vigorous and have a weak union.

These branches frequently break under a heavy fruit load and injure the trunk, reducing tree life and productivity. Spreading the lateral branches slows the growth of the branches to a manageable level and promotes the development of secondary or side shoots on the scaffolds.

When growth is only 3 inches to 4 inches long, use toothpicks Figure 15—27 or spring - loaded clothespins between the trunk and the branch to develop wide crotch angles Figure 15— After a branch grows to a proper angle, move the clothespins to the ends of longer limbs to weigh down the branches as they start to grow upward.

Extreme care must be taken when using the clothespins as weights. Periodic checking is essential to assure that the scaffold angles are not too flat. Spreaders are another option. Construct your own spreader by measuring the distance between the trunk and lateral shoot you wish to spread.

Cut 1-inch-square wood pieces a few inches longer than your measured distance, and angle the spreaders at both ends. Drive finishing nails into each end Figure 15— Lateral branches are spread for about the first five years, using a larger spreader each year.

Spreading branches in later years reduces vigor and promotes fruit development on the lateral branches. The reduced growth rate and the weight of the crop load also help pull the branches down to a proper angle.

It is important that the young tree is not allowed to crop too heavily while the branches are young and weak. If the weight of the fruit pulls the branches below horizontal, the branches become weak and nonproductive and must be removed.

Another objective of dormant pruning is to control the length of the lateral branches. In order to maintain the pyramidal tree shape, lateral branches need to be cut back. Once the tree has reached its desired height and lateral spread, it is necessary to mold and hold the lateral branches and the central leader with heading cuts.

This is done by cutting the laterals and leader back to a side-growing shoot on two-year-old wood. Two-year-old wood can be anywhere from a couple of inches to a few feet back from the tips of the branches.

Follow the branch toward the trunk and look for a wrinkly scar that goes all the way around the branch Figure 15— The shoot should be the same diameter as the leader being removed. Mature trees that have been properly trained and summer pruned require minimal pruning. The first step is to remove dead, diseased, and damaged wood and then upright shoots and shoots below horizontal.

To prevent shading, it is important to maintain the pyramidal tree shape by heading lateral branches with mold-and-hold cuts Figure 15— For quality fruit production, it is also essential to maintain the light slots between the scaffold whorls. Mature fruit trees that have not been properly trained frequently do not have a true central leader shape Figure 15— For those trees, consider your objectives in pruning and training.

In many cases, too many lateral branches and upright limbs were left and now must be removed to allow proper light penetration. This type of pruning is done during the dormant season.

Neglected trees often have overgrown tops that act as an umbrella, shading the rest of the tree. Cut back or remove the tops of these trees to allow better light penetration. Train pecan trees to a central leader with the lateral branches attached to the main trunk in a spiral like a circular stairway.

Leave approximately 12 inches to 15 inches between branches, initially, for adequate light penetration. As the tree matures it is necessary to remove branches to prevent crowding and provide continued light penetration Figure 15— This method of training a tree uses the central leader concept on multiple branches based on the best shape for optimum production.

For pear varieties subject to fire blight, a multileader tree is the goal of another training system. The multileader system uses the same concept as the central leader system except that pruning creates several leaders in the center of the tree.

In the first and second year, instead of removing the competing leaders, leave several leaders. Maintain each leader to the same shape as an individual central leader tree. On the tree in Figure 15—26 C, it is necessary to leave shoots a, b, and c for a multileader tree.

Spreaders between the selected leaders are necessary to get the proper shape of the tree. With the open-center system, the leader is removed, leaving an open center Figure 15—33 , Figure 15—34 , and Figure 15— Instead of having a central leader, the open-center tree has three to five major limbs, called scaffolds, coming out from the trunk.

This training system allows for adequate light penetration into the tree, which minimizes the shading problem prevalent in higher vigor trees, such as peach trees.

As the buds begin to swell, head whips at approximately 30 inches to 34 inches above the soil surface. As discussed with the central leader system, new branches will come from buds 6 inches to 9 inches below the heading cut.

For branched trees, consider the work that needs to be done under the tree, such as weeding, mowing, and harvesting to determine the appropriate height for branching. This is usually 24 inches to 32 inches.

Remove branches that are too low. Select three to four uniformly spaced branches around the tree as scaffolds, and head the tree just above the highest selected scaffold. Remove any remaining branches not selected as scaffolds.

If it is not possible to have three or more scaffolds, cut the tree back to a whip and remove the side branches. For trees that started as whips, select the shoots that will become the major scaffolds after the new vegetative growth is approximately 3 inches to 4 inches long.

The lowest scaffold should be 24 inches to 32 inches above the soil surface to allow for cultural practices. It is best to select three to four scaffolds that are uniformly spaced around the tree, with wide branch angles, and not directly across from another scaffold.

During the summer, spread the shoots out to a degree to degree angle and hold each shoot in place with a toothpick or clothespin. Remove all other upright growth. Every month during the summer remove upright growth shading the primary scaffolds, and make sure that the scaffolds have been spread to a proper angle.

Many times the crotch angle is proper initially, but as the scaffolds grow, they turn upright. A spring-loaded clothespin placed on or near the end of a shoot can push the scaffold down to a proper angle.

On the left is an improperly planted fruit tree. The hole is too narrow and shallow, forcing the roots to wrap inside the hole.

The graft union is below the soil surface, negating the effect. The figure on the right is properly planted. Narrow crotch angles are not as strong and can lead to included bark. A mold and hold cut can be made on older trees to help them maintain their shape.

The wrinkle that goes all the way around the stem marks the second year wood. A bench cut removes a vertical branch back to a horizontal branch of equal thickness. Pruning a pecan tree at planting, cutting off about one-third of the height.

This mature peach tree shows the open center style of pruning. Prune in February and thin the blossoms after the trees are in full bloom.

Fruit and nut trees rely on pollination to reproduce. Pollen must travel from the anther male organ of one flower to the stigma female organ of a receptive flower, where the pollen germinates, fertilizes the egg, and creates a seed or seeds.

Many fruit and nut trees rely on honey bees, mason bees, or bumble bees to move pollen from one flower to another. Pollinators are very sensitive; suspend any type of chemical management when they are active. Some fruit trees, such as peaches and nectarines, are self-pollinating.

Even with self-pollinating trees, it is always beneficial to have more than one cultivar to help with pollination. Self-pollinated trees produce less fruit than trees that require cross-pollination.

Most apples, pawpaws, pears, and plums require another cultivar of such a tree to pollinate flowers. This cross-pollination ensures genetic diversity and, generally, a larger crop. To cross-pollinate each other, cultivars must bloom at the same time: early season, midseason, or late season.

Ideally, plant trees 50 feet to feet apart. Some cultivars are better producers of pollen. For example, crabapple trees produce copious amounts of pollen and are often planted in orchards to help with apple pollination. Pear trees bloom earlier in the spring when bees are less active.

Pear trees have paler blossoms and are not as fragrant as apple trees so are less attractive to bees. Planting multiple cultivars will help with pear tree pollination. Some growers resort to hand - pollination with a paintbrush.

Most fruit trees are "diploid:" having two sets of chromosomes—one set from the mother plant and one set from the father. Triploid trees will accept pollen from other trees of the same species, but they do not produce viable pollen for cross - pollination. If you plant a triploid pear or apple, you need to plant two other diploid pears or apples to ensure adequate pollination.

Monoecious trees—pecans, for example—have both male and female imperfect flowers on the same tree. When male flowers long, drooping structures called catkins release pollen, the female flowers may not be at a stage of development where pollination is possible. Pecan trees are divided into two pollination types.

A Type I tree releases pollen before its female flowers are ready. A Type II tree releases its pollen after the female flowers are receptive.

To ensure adequate pollination, plant at least one tree of each type. Knowing where a tree forms flowers and bears fruit is crucial in understanding how to prune the tree. Stone fruit trees such as peach and plum trees bloom before leaves appear, while pome fruit trees including apple and pear trees generally bloom two weeks to three weeks after leaves appear.

Pome fruit trees produce fruit on the tips of shoots or spurs very short branches that grow less than an inch a year located on wood that is at least two years old Figure 15— As a result, very light crops are produced if these trees are pruned by heading back all the branches because most of the fruiting wood is removed.

Some cultivars, called spur-type, produce fruit perennially on spurs rather than longer branches. Individual spurs live for many years, but their productive life is usually not more than 8 to 10 years.

Spur-type cultivars produce smaller trees and should not be pruned as vigorously as non-spur-type cultivars. Stone fruit trees , such as peaches, differ from pome fruit in that they bear most fruit from flower buds on one-year-old shoots. At least 12 inches to 18 inches of new growth is essential to ensure adequate fruit.

Midwinter temperatures of 0°F or below may kill some fruit buds on peaches, plums, cherries, and apricots and possibly result in tree injury. Such low temperatures, however, are rare in North Carolina.

A greater risk comes from early and late frosts. If temperatures were already low before the cold snap, much less bud injury and tree death may occur. Buds and flowers can survive slightly lower temperatures if the temperature drop is gradual and if the minimum temperature occurs for only a short period.

On the other hand, in the spring, as the buds swell and develop, they become less cold hardy and more prone to injury. Spring injury from a late freeze is the greatest threat to fruit tree buds in North Carolina, with a temperature difference of 3°F to 4°F being the difference between a full crop and no crop.

The stage of bud and flower development is significant in cold hardiness. Before the blossoms open, flower buds may survive temperatures down to 20°F to 23°F. Flower buds showing color, however, may only survive temperatures down to 25°F to 28°F.

At full bloom, and with small developing fruit, damage may occur below 27°F to 28°F. Apple trees send out green leaves first, followed two to three weeks later by blossoms.

Peach, plum, and apricot trees are very vulnerable because the first growth to emerge in the spring is the blossoms. To determine the extent of blossom injury after a cold snap, take shoot cuttings and place them in water to open and bloom.

If the center of the flower pistil is brown, the blossom is damaged and cannot bear fruit. Thin apples, nectarines, peaches, and pears early in the season to prevent overproduction, which results in small fruits and increased problems with insects, diseases, and tree breakage Figure 15— A heavy crop also reduces the chances for an adequate crop the following year.

Thin fruits when they are about the size of a nickel. Remove enough fruit so that the remaining ones are spaced approximately 6 inches to 8 inches apart along the branch Figure 15— Even though it may look as though very few fruit remain, the fruit size at harvest more than compensates for the reduced number of fruit.

This apple tree fruit was not thinned so there are too many apples on this spur. This risks breakage and small fruit size.

Proper identification of the pest is the first step in any IPM program, and identification leads to identifying appropriate management strategies. Review the chapters on IPM , Insects , and Diseases for specific information on how to manage pest problems.

Time early spray applications according to fruit bud development—not the calendar Figure 15— Dormant applications minimize pest pressure later in the season. During the growing season, begin pesticide applications after the petals fall off the blossoms petal fall.

Do not apply any insecticides during bloom because this harms the insects required for pollination. Weeds or grasses growing between or under fruit and nut trees compete for soil nutrients and moisture and reduce tree growth.

One way to better understand what is happening in your orchard for the current season to do a leaf tissue analysis. A complete analysis will give you information on the amount of essential micro and macro nutrients in your trees including nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and copper.

It is important to take leaf tissue samples at the right time to get an accurate reading of the nutrients within the leaves. It is recommended that mid to late July is the ideal time to take a leaf tissue sample. The reason for this is that at this stage the nutrients in the leaves are becoming more stable and immobile due to the terminal bud set that is happening around now.

Terminal bud set is the end of vegetative growth, so nutrients are sent primarily into growing fruit and not leaves or shoots. It is worth noting how the environment and weather may impact plant growth and nutrient uptake as well.

As fruit trees grow, they use their roots to take up nutrients from the soil. To accomplish this the plants must transpire, a process by which water is pulled from the roots into the leaves and further into the atmosphere via the xylem and phloem in the trees. This is significant as the humidity in the air and the water in the ground both have a role in the overall movement of nutrients throughout the plant.

Too little humidity in the air and the plants have less force acting on them to pull water and nutrients upward. Opposingly, too much humidity means that plants cannot rid themselves of the water vapour, stopping the evaporation process and ultimately affecting their growth. This year in Ontario the season has been very dry, there has been little to no rain across most of the province.

As a result of the lack of moisture in the atmosphere the trees are unable to move nutrients effectively through their systems. Most orchards have some sort of irrigation which is important to give water to the roots of the trees. The dry and hot temperatures will cause the water to evaporate from the ground as well as be pulled more quickly through the systems in the trees themselves.

The mobility of nutrients will impact the ease at which the plant has access to their resources. Below is Table from the Ontario Soil Fertility Handbook , showing mobile and immobile nutrients within the plant and within the soil. More specifically in trees, nutrient uptake changes throughout the season as the trees go through different processes i.

maturing fruit, dormancy etc. Bitter pit is a very common disorder and has now been linked to the decrease in xylem function and vascular bundle development as the season progresses, leading to a decrease in calcium uptake in the fruit.

To achieve accurate results in your leaf tissue analysis there are some best practices that are recommended. Soil chemical and physical analyses for agriculture purposes utilize analytical methods that will indicate nutrient availability for plant uptake, differing from methods utilized in environmental or construction studies that evaluate total elements.

Several methods are currently available by private laboratories that utilize different extraction methods. In WSU we recommend the standard methods described in Table 1. Table 1. Recommended soil test levels and testing methods for tree fruit.

Source: Sallato et al. a Methods: Plant, Soil and Water Reference Methods for the Western Region. Gavlak, D. Horneck, and R.

b P-Olsen is recommended to mildly acid to alkaline soils of eastern Washington. Gavlak et al c The method has a detection limit of 2. Better to look at in tissue analysis. In eastern Washington, soil pH and organic matter are fundamental for interpreting nutrient availability.

High pH levels are closely related to free lime CaCO3 in the soil, which derives from layers of CaCO 3 that vary in depth and thickness. Soil texture is one of the most important physical characteristics as it affects nutrient movement and adsorption and should be tested at least once in the orchard lifetime, ideally at different soil depths.

Macronutrients are required in large amounts in tree fruit, and for N, P and K, the demand, or crop extraction can normally exceed the natural soil supply. As indicated above, N is highly mobile in the soil and its measurement in the soil reflect a moment in time, which eventually will change depending on environmental temperature, irrigation, drainage, microbiological activity, pH, among other factors.

In contrast, phosphorous P is very stable in the soil non-mobile. In Washington, P levels are generally low in uncropped soils, or soils cropped for many years without P corrections.

The P- Olsen test gives a good representation of P availability in soils. Extractable potassium K , calcium Ca and magnesium Mg is a good indicator of cation availability and utilizes ammonium acetate NH4OAc as extractant which has been extensively used by soil scientist to guide fertilization practices in tree fruit.

In alkaline soils pH above 7. Given the low quantity needed to supply plant demand, their management has been accomplished effectively through foliar sprays, based on tissue analyses.

Thus, soil testing for micronutrients is not as relevant in alkaline soils. Another relevant characteristic of soils in eastern WA is soil salinity, well represented with the electric conductivity test E.

in soil solution or paste. If the E. C is high above 0. Important salts in WA soils are sodium Na , bicarbonate HCO 3 , sulfate SO 4 which is generally associated to gypsum CaSO 4 applications and, to a lesser extent, chloride Cl.

When working with a lab outside of your region, make sure to select tests appropriate for your soil type. Interpreting soil test requires and integrated analysis of soil — plant — water relations. Soil testing should be complemented with tissue samples and detailed observation of the orchard vigor, historical management and tree growth response to external factors, including water, heat, pest and disease.
