Therefore, any temperature below 29 F., we will lose our realize. A fake spring or a warm February and March is often experienced. The trees begin to blossom out and then a cold snap comes Healthy 'trees produce quality fruit. Weak, diseased trees produce poor quality fruit. Keep the trees in a vigorous growing condition. Many of the trees in the valley yield poor fruit because of the lack of vigor or poor fertilization. Fertilize the trees with a nitrogen type fertilizer. Take a look at the twig growth on the trees that grew this past summer. The growth should be from 10 to 16 inches in length. If this is less, the trees are stressing. The fertilizer should be increased for a healthy tree and bigger fruit. A third factor why trees fail to bear is the weather. This is more important than most pur-chase- from the nursery, the tree isnt much older than two years. The time from planting to production varies with the type of tree. For example, apples, apricots, pears and plums are not expected to bear until they are four to five years old. Dwarf trees will bear sooner or about one to two years sooner than the standard tree.

Even landscaping can be used to increase the efficiency of a house. In selecting a building site, there are a number of factors to be considered.
