Show Dwarf Trees Melvin S. Burningham. USU Area Horticulturist, says that the only dwarf trees that he can fully support are the dwarf apple trees, unless you have very limited space then you may consider other dwarf trees. Also the four-or-five-on-one apple trees are not recommended. This means four or five varieties of apples on one rootstock. The only five-on-one trees that should be considered are ones that have all early apples or all late apples on the same tree. VARIETIES of peaches recommended, according to ripening (the earliest ones are listed first) are Earhred. Early Red Haven, Red Haven, Golden Jubilee. Hale Have. Earlv Elberta (Gleason or sometimes called the lemon strain), Johnson Elberta, Elberta. El-berta. J. H Hale. Rio Osa Gem. The main canning varities of peaches are the Gleason Early Elberta. Elberta. and J H. Hale. THE MAIN pear grown in Utah is the Bartlett. It excells all other varities for canning Then there is the novelty pear, the Red Bartlett. Late pears are the Flemish Beauty. Bosc. or the Anjour. Summer apples all tend to bear bi-annually. They are the yellow transparent, Lodi. Red June. Early Mcintosh and Tidvman s Red. Fall apples are the Mcintosh and the old standby, the Wealthy. Winter apples are Red and Yellow Delicious, Jonathan, Rome Beauty and Wmesape. IF YOU would like a leaflet giving the varities of small and fruit trees recommended you may call your County Agent s office. Mr. Burningham Bur-ningham concludes. |
