I was reading an article about gardening and trees that bear fruit, here is a snippet: Fruit trees need good cultural practices during the season to maintain an adequate number of good leaves for quality fruit production. About 30 to 40 good-sized, healthy leaves are needed to produce one good-quality apple. Trees need full sunlight for best production. Inadequate sunlight delays the beginning of fruit bearing and may reduce the amount of fruit. Avoid placing fruit trees where they will be shaded by buildings or by other trees. Your trees will grow more vigorously and bear better if they have adequate space to develop their root systems. Do not plant them where roots of forest or shade trees will compete with them. To reduce competition from weeds or grass, cultivate, mulch, or apply weed killer. Prune young trees to train them to systems suitable for the species. Strong branches are needed to support the weight of a heavy crop. Severe pruning may stimulate excessive upright growth, which delays flower production and reduces yields. So do me a favor if you are at this to compete against me rather than harmonize with me move over so my roots can grow without your corruption! Posted by my beautiful sister, Josie xo
