Orchard Jobs in Winter
The dormant season shouldn’t •be the idle season in the orchard.
Fred Dreiling, associate horticulturist at VPI, says the fruit grower can profit by doing these winter jobs:
Do a thorough and complete job of tree pruning.
Order repair parts, and overhaul equipment.
Arrange for a systematic checkup and servicing of electric motors.
Improve the output of workmen by supplying sharpened pruning tools.
Remove old, unprofitable trees, and filler trees which crowd the the permanents.
Set up a simple record of yields and market returns by varieties. The orchard business today cannot support nonprofit or low profit trees, or blocks of trees. Such trees, unless needed for cross pollination, should be removed.
Study your fertilization program to see if a revised soil management setup will improve yield, size and color of fruit. Place order for fertilizer early. New spray materials necessitate a careful and conservative review of the spray program. Seek the best information available if you are considering a change. Have workmen repair field and storage crates on stormy days.
