[14] [15] After 1 growing season, growth parameters did not differ between seedlings planted frozen and those planted thawed. Studies of storage and planting practices have generally focussed on the effects of duration of frozen storage and the effects of subsequent cool storage (e.g., Ritchie et al. 1985, Chomba et al. 1993, Harper and Camm 1993).
It is good organic rotation practice not to follow "like with like" and this rule applies to long lived trees as much as annual vegetables. In the case of temperate fruit trees, the "pomes and stones" rule for rotation should be observed- don't follow a "pome" fruit (with an apple-type core—apples, pears, medlar , quince ) with a tree from ...
Most apple trees in modern orchards are grafted on to dwarf or semi-dwarf trees planted at high density. They provide more fruit per unit of land, of higher quality, and reduce the danger of accidents by harvest crews working on ladders. Care must be taken when planting dwarf or semi-dwarf trees.
Map of average growing season length from "Geography of Ohio," 1923. A season is a division of the year marked by changes in weather, ecology, and the amount of daylight.
