GARDEN TIME
By: M. E. GARDNER
Mrs. W. A. Benson, Sr., War
rentcn, writes about her crab
apple and pomegranate plants.
She says: “I have a crabapple
tree five years old which came
frcm a seed. It’s a beautiful
tree but has never bloomed.
Will one that comes from seed
blcom?”
“I also have a pomegranate
from seed that is the same age
and it has never bloomed either.
Will it ever bloom?”
The fact that both plants came
from seed should make no differ
ence as far as blooming is con
cerned. It could make some dif
ference as far as time of bloom
is concerned.
Mrs. Benson states that the
trees are vigorous. Frcm this I
assume that they are growing in
full sun and located away from
competing trees for moisture
and nutrients.
S.nce they are five years old,
they are just now reaching the
age when they should be form
ing fruit buds give or take
one year depending upon man
agement.
Let’s take a look at what we
might call the three stages in
the life history of a standard ao
ple tree. The kind that your dad
and your granddad planted. The
modern dwarf types will bloom
and bear earlier due to the
growth-controlling root stocks.
The first stage we will call
juvenile, or formative. In this
stage the growth is rapid. In a
THE YANCEY RECORD
standard tree, this influence us
ually persists for four or five
years.
The second stage we will call
the transition period. During this
stage five-six years, the ranid
growth slows down and the cells
begin to store more food mater
ials. This slowing of growth and
storage of food, triggers a build
up of carbohydrates which in
duce the formation of fruit buds
for the succeeding year's crop.
This brings us to the fruiting
period, which, with good mana
gement, lasts throughout the life
of the tree barring cold da
magee very now and then.
In the formative period, it is
pcssib’e to keen the plant over
vegetative which wi’l H P in V Emit
bud formation and easier bloo m .
ing. It is c’so possible to delay
maturity and fruit coloration on
bearing trees bv too liberal use
of nitrogen too late in the sea
son.
