BOONE, If. C. IVl ^ ^ yi Garden f Time , ? By ROBERT SCHMIDT Many gardeners would III'.* to grow i few fruit tree*, especially apples. However, growing apple trees presents a number of pro blems. After a few years the tree* become larger and take op ? lot of garden space. Spraying a.* . prun ing become difficult on larg* tree*. Some of our most popular varieties will not pollinate themselves but require other varieties nearby to pollinate them. The beat solution of these pro blems 1* the use of dwarf trees. Dwarf fruit tree* have long been popular in Europe where garden apace is at ? premium. Dwarf tree* are those that have been grafted upon slow-growing root stocks which prevent the full de velopment of the tree. Many varie ties of dwarf applea and pears are now offered for sale by nursery men. They are an advantage for gardeners who want a number of different varieties and do not have sufficient space for atandard trees. TV dwarf tree* will bear Just a* large fruit of the variety aa the ?tandard tree*; in fact, sometimes the fruit is larger. However, the yield per. tree will be much less. Dwarf trees may be planted as close as eight or ten feet apart in stead of the usual 30 to 40 feet distance for atandard trees. They have the advantage of small Size which makes them easy to prune and spray and convenient for har vesting the fruit,. There is one big disadvantage. The dwarf rootatock is wesk and the trees are apt to blow over in a storm, especially in the growing seaaon when they have a full crop | of leavea. Therefore it ia necessary j to stake and tie dwarf trees in or? der to keep them from blowing over. Unfortunately, dwarf trees are a little more expensive to buy than standard trees.
