So it's extra nice to species such as currants, gooseberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, etc. themselves to grow and harvest fresh.Such "small fruits" have something that compares favorably with the "big fruit" of the trees: they can self-pollinate well. So if you have only one plant of each species requires. That's nice in a small garden. Moreover, there are many species that can be guided climbing (grapes, kiwi). Those questions have less garden space, but give a very rich harvest. Furthermore there are short-lived species, such as strawberries, which grow well in pots. No one needs to refrain from soft fruit, even on the balcony. A separate orchard is not necessary. Just put it among the ornamental plants.

Of sweet cherries 'Bigarreau Burlat', 'From', 'Hedelfinger' and 'Lapins' good varieties. The first is an early, half-ripe in June. The others are a little later. 'Regina' is a self-pollinator. Growers are constantly looking for smaller tree shapes, cherries for a garden suitable than the traditional standard trees. Small remaining cherries can grow into a mesh cage. This protects them against bird damage. If root is "Limburg Boskriek" and the slowly growing 'Gisela 5' is used.


Prunus avium

Plant as:

    Low stemmed: 0.5 meters (stem height).
    Half standard: 1.1 meters (stem height).
    Coasts to 1.8 meters tall (stem height).
    Spindle.
    Palmette
The plantput must be at least 1.5 times and 2 times as deep as wide.Give this a good compost with moderate-rotted manure.Note the height of the graft (must be visible).Provide a good watering during planting so the roots can be ground fine between the coils. Give the next day extra water.Then we can next year with a little organic fertilizer produced. Too much nitrogen would quickly lead to disease and rapid growth or decline.Mulching can always, but it should be taken into account the tree level to avoid diseases (distance).
Distances that must be respected:
- 2 to 3 meters for low strains. (Easy picking)- 3 to 5 meters for half tribes.- 10 meters at 12 or more for high strains. (Difficult picking)
All distances are averages, since they depend on their type and rootstock.

Tip: when you buy saplings, you better 1/3rd of the roots cut back foot.- Prune back branches on March 1 inch range. ---> Prune 'only in planting, growing in the winter from November to March.
Furthermore, there is actually more of a maintenance pruning:- Game store ever back as far as pruning.- Inward growing branches or branches are completely pruned steep.- Remove dead branches.- Pruning back to a more blunt, blind eyes are less active, and "gums" remains earlier.- Let air and light in the head, exposure to the lower branches.- Pruning prevents explosive fruit set, but gives thicker fruits.
Pollination:- Done in advance by cross-pollination. Make sure you like planting flowering varieties for good pollination. In the early bloomers may possibly damage caused by frost.- The cherry is monoecious: ie insects are needed to obtain fruit set.- Mail steward Maurice: suitable for pollinators and possibilities in your garden.

TIP: Consider radiation fields (nuclear fall-out areas)! Health above all else here.Cherries may only contain certain values ​​of radiation, but are still too large daily quantities measured.
Rings or cuts of the tree:This technique is only used to increase fruit set to obtain. This respect the right data to the optimum assimilates to influence.
Important for cultivation in greenhouses, trees should be here shortly and branched for maximum efficiency. Today there are already many low strains grown in greenhouses to bird predation and disease is prevented. Disadvantage is that the conservatory can be used much more, and that intense maintenance. (Water, fertilizer, light, insects use ,...) are also sometimes grown under plastic.
Grafting on rootstock:This is the best time in August.Do this at least 2 years old seedlings.We take a entmes a piece of bark with cambium ± 3 cm tissue which is a leaf bud and place it in the appropriate seedling using a T-shaped incision in the bark to the cambium layer.You can then ligation with raffia or afsmeren with grafting wax (hot or cold).If the graft is triggered, you will see that the petiole to the button will fall off.If the petiole is dried and remains, the graft may have failed.
Facts:When we plant the saplings good at tying a tie pole, but do not foresee too much space between pole and bark as possible for strong winds can cause damage. Use neoprene or bicycle tires to bind.Plant the graft or compensating for low strains, spindle, or palmette, not too deep. (Hand height above ground)Plant the trees as deep as they were originally in the field of the breeder or containerpot were for storage.Seedlings and wild species bloom only after 3 to 5 years.Moderate and give weaker rootstocks on the whole fruit faster 2 years.Know that cherries do not tolerate wet soils.A sweet cherry is larger than a sour cherry tree.Buy species that provide fruit are less likely to burst.

Fruit set will also be better if a good setup was chosen.Pruning stone fruit sometimes leads to "erase" some bacterial diseases such as cancer, the chance to develop.Inrotting of wood can occur in older trees, which may be dangerous to harvest (tall). Here, the most commonly applied system for some branches to maintain a ladder as possible.
Diseases:
- Blossom mortality or Monilia laxa- Aphids.- Fruit rot or Monilia fructigena- Shothole- Cracks (no disease, previous water problem), buy more resistant species.- Bacteria Cancer (avoid sanding through wounds, pruning or wrongly).

Research shows that an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption of 200 g per day the overall cancer risk decreases by 4%. That is indeed less than was formerly thought, but still significant. In some cancers, the prevention factor higher: so would every additional 80 grams of fruit and vegetables a day reduce the risk of esophageal cancer by 9% decrease. A figure that it can count.

And thanks to their unique composition of fruits and vegetables play an important role in diseases such as obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and constipation.
The recommended daily 300 g of vegetables and 2 to 3 pieces of fruit to eat, remains a golden tip.
Mrs. Naessens therefore stresses the importance of adequate fruits and vegetables into our daily eating habits. Creative in the kitchen, a fruit platter middle of the table, a snack with fruit ...

Same time they noted the importance of variation within this range: for the health-promoting effect is probably due to a complex interaction between different vegetable and fruit components.

Fruit trees and compost

Fruit trees and administering compost
Fruit and using compost.
Unlike vegetables, most fruits have a low need for nutrients. In spring there are nutrients for shoot growth and fruit set. Too much fertilizer, however, increase the risk of moulting (dropping of immature fruits) and wanted to shoot growth. In summer, excess fertilizer disfavour the formation of buds and ripening, color and quality of the fruit.
Like roses, many fruit trees susceptible to disease and parasites. Again, the key to success in choosing an appropriate location (sunny and not too windy), a suitable variety and a proper concern for the bottom. Anyone who wants to avoid gifspuit and many worries, best to choose old or resistant fruit varieties. The storability of the fruit is perhaps slightly less, the better the taste.
Fruit trees thrive best in a humus rich, well fertilized and not too acidic soil. Cherries place the highest demands on the ground, plums are quickly satisfied. Especially on heavy loam and clay soils and sandy soils is best for planting, a lot of humus to be added in the form of compost. For standard fruit trees will be planted in pits 40 cm deep with a diameter of 1 to 1.5 meters. Deep wells to cause subsidence. Frayed or injured roots with sharp pruning shears away, allowing the formation of young and new suction hairs promoted.After planting around the trunk may be some compost or manure be spread. In subsequent years may fall compost sprinkled around the trunk.
For low trees, it is important that the plants oculatieplaats (where the upper stem of the rootstock is grafted) at least 10cm above the ground, otherwise there is the risk that the tribe itself directly above roots will form. It is best to plant a tree right by the pole turn. The pole must be on the windward side of the tree, in most gardens is that the southwest side.
During the first year you should keep a circle of about 1 meter in diameter around the stem of grass and weeds Fri At high strains is a tree circle after a few years no longer necessary. Low strains grown on low-growing rootstocks, are more prone to have competition from undergrowth. You can disable the undergrowth most appropriate surface covering with coarse compost or grass cuttings. A mulch of compost in the spring months absorbs enough heat during the day, so the risk of damage from frost reduces blossom. Mulch made from drier and lighter colored material in the spring months are best avoided.

Cedar, tree of power and dignity

Long before the Lebanon cedar at the end of the 17th century was introduced into European gardens and parks, he was legendary and proverbial. As the most impressive tree in the Bible he is seen as a monarch who even praised praises Yahweh. But when the Lebanon cedars begin to regard as holy, Yahweh is rebellious. He sees them competing gods and that he can not tolerate.
The cedar tree is the most in the Bible. This relates to the Lebanon Cedar. Here it is often used as a symbol of power and dignity, valor and glory, beauty and fertility.


The Hebrew word for cedar Erez is derived from an Arabic dialect and means "the powerful". The Hebrew word Eretz daarenttegen means earth or mother earth. This word appears in the Torah, and refers to the motherly person who gave birth to Adam. The words are similar but the meaning has changed over time.
Cedar mythology existed long before the Bible was written. The Lebanon Cedar mediator between God and mother nature. In Anatolia (Turkey), saw the cedar as the violent aspect of Artemis (Greek goddess of hunting and wild nature). In the Himalayan cedar embodied the equally violent Kali Durga root of the tree of wisdom and universe. Kali
The Cyprus cedar that was associated with Aphrodite loved ones killed, just as violent as Artemis and Kali goddess of love and not as they appear in the Greek myhtologie described.
According to Egyptian mythology, the god Osiris's coffin at the foot of a cedar put down. The tree grew up quickly and enclosed the chest with its branches.
The Lebanon Cedar has an important place in the early period of the oldest religious story, the Epic of Gilgamesh. This epic was written around 2340 BC. and a collection of Sumerian stories. It is said that Gilgamesh (king of the Sumerian city Oereok) among a sample cedars met. Shamah the sun god and the amulet that protected him from his mother he was able to sample overwinnen.Toen he promised, husband to become the Great Mother, Inanna Ishtar. But that was not all that happy about it. Gilgamesh overcomes the sample
According to another legend on Gilgamesh and Enkidu (a wild man brought up by animals) on their way to the Holy Chumbaba watched cedar felling. During this act the earth trembles in Lebanon and Syria. Of the wood they build a gigantic gate. As Enkidu damage the roots, he later died.
Psalm 29 from the Bible was originally a hymn to Baal Hadad of a so-called pagan gods. These were the other gods laughed because he had no home. Why did his sister Anath a temple built of cedar.
Abraham planted a cedar grove, the cedars of Beersheba. The seeds he had from the city of Uruk Mesepotamië brought. Here were seen in the cedar the mother goddess who had given birth to the god Ningishzida.
Inanna Ishtar


Use magic
The cedar has a strong protective aura. If you have a small piece of cedar wood in a bag when you carry over your front door or confirmed, evil spirits at a distance. If the beauty of a mature cedar admired, remember that you disagree with a very old tree with a religious meaning to it.


















Cedar of Lebanon
I
I n the dawn Gathered cedar-bough,
for the plaiting of thy whip.
They were sweet with law
They still thought of the night.
All alone I schredded cedar-bough,
Green Bough in the pale light,
Where the morning meets the sea,
and the great mountain stops.


Constance Lindsay Skinner (1877-1939)
