Apple Orchards To Take A New Look, J E L Cripps
Apple Orchards To Take A New Look, J E L Cripps
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Results of experiments by the Department of agriculture could completely change the appearance of the apple orchard in the next decade.
The normal orchard scene will become hedgerows of chemically-thinned, irrigated, red varieties on dwarfing or semi-dwarfing rootstocks receiving just the right amount of fertiliser, and areas between rows will be mown, or sprayed with herbicide. The clean cultivated, square-planted, vase-shaped tree will slowly disappear.

EXAMINATION of a mature tree in full production will show the natural pattern of growth already explained.
It will be seen that over the years the frame has developed by a system of layers with new growth, stimulated by sunlight, constantly appearing on the top side of the older wood.
Eventually the terminal portions of the older layers are weakened by lack of light, they become unproductive and in turn adversely affect the general fruitfulness of the rest of the tree by shading and crowding.
