Pome fruit crop species

Apple, pear and quince, in this group represent a typical tree form. Pome is a sprawling succulent pericarp, which is placed inside the seed chambers with seeds, which form a central part of the fruit.

Apple, pear and quince, in this group represent a typical tree form. Pear has a more pronounced trunk and a crown of compressed than the apple, before the growth gets under way. Flowers are white with purple pear-red anthers, flowers, apple mostly various shades of pink and yellow anthers always.
In the first age period in pome breeds developed exclusively or vegetative growth (main) branch, which differ in length and carry the leaves, which are formed in the axils of growth buds. Some of these buds the following year, in turn, give rise to Rostov to escape, while others remain dormant (do not develop into shoots). Dormant buds in pome species remain viable for a long time, so pome characterized by a pronounced ability to restore missing parts of the crown. In apple dormant buds are usually larger than that of pears.
In the next age period, together with growth starting to develop and fruiting branches. In pome rocks they come in three types: fruit twig kopetso and kolchatka. The fruit resembles a twig in the first year the growth node, but much shorter than the latter (up to 30 inches) and ends with no growth, and fruit buds. Kopetso like fruit twig, but its length is typically less than 10-12 centimeters, and leaves it more than a twig. Kolchatka is very short (7-8 cm) sprig. By the way, do you know some unknown facts if no you got to do it quickly. Long-term kolchatka usually completely covered with scars - marks on the leaves. The quantitative ratio of these types of fruit stalks of different varieties is not the same in fruit trees.Fruiting branches end in fruit buds. This is a characteristic of pome rocks. However, it should be noted that with good nutrition tree tab fruit buds can sometimes be on the increase this year, and they occupy a lateral position on the shoots.
Another feature of pome rocks is that the fruit buds they are mixed. Of them evolve, and reproductive parts (flowers, fruits) and vegetative (leaves, shoots) and fruits occupy end positions, and shoots - side. Because of this fruiting bodies of apple and pear trees do not die. Otplodonosivshie of them usually replaced by new ones, which ensures long-term existence of the fruit branches. Therefore, the shoots developing from the fruit buds are called escape substitution.



Pome fruit buds in species differ markedly from the growth. They are bigger, thicker and have a more rounded shape.Flower of apple and pear hermaphrodite. It consists of a calyx, corolla, stamens and pistil. Stamens in the flower varies from 15 to 30. Pistil - one, but with a few stigmas (ranging from 2 to 5). Lower inflated portion of the pistil, called the ovary, is located below the othozhdenija sepals, petals and stamens. In apple and pear flowers collected in a inflorescence.
Pome is a sprawling succulent pericarp, which is placed inside the seed chambers with seeds, which form a central part of the fruit. Last call heart.Life expectancy of trees cultivars of apple and pear different. Duration of their fruiting depends on growth conditions, the quality of care, high-grade features and stock. On pome fruit seed rootstock up to 50 years, sredneroslye - up to 30 on slaboroslyh rootstock - up to 15 years.
If insufficient care apple and pear one year give a strong harvest, the other - little or no fruit. This phenomenon is explained by the fact that the formation of fruit consumed large amounts of nutrients, resulting tree is exhausted and he did not have enough nutrients to develop in the same year the new fruit buds. But with proper tillage, systematic and timely application of fertilizers, which provides the desired ratio of nutrients in the soil, with good pruning, pest control can be achieved annual fruiting.
