Home Improvement Watch "The Garden Guy Show" Saturdays on 3TV at 10:30 a.m. The Bare Bones About Bare Root Bare root fruit and nut trees do very well in this region. Apples, guavas, oranges, blackberries and pecans thrive in the desert and bring diversity to your garden. To produce fruit, deciduous fruits and nuts have minimum low-temperature requirements. When it gets down to 45 degrees or below for 60 minutes, you've got yourself a "chill hour." Different types of trees have different chill-hour requirements. Choose varieties with low minimums, usually 250 chill hours or less. Maricopa County usually has 300 to 400 chill hours per year. To develop strong trees with healthy fruit, I'm going to let you in on a couple of secrets (although these secrets don't apply to citrus). First, the earlier in the season you plant, the better chance your tree has for success. Second, different areas of your yard have different temperatures. Some are cooler, while some are warmer. Cold air is heavy and lingers in low spots. Fruit and nut trees like the coolest part of the yard. Seek the lowest part of the yard, with eastern or northeastern exposure. Better yet, dig out and lower a portion of the yard, near a solid block wall, which is ideal for collecting cold air. This also helps channel water and rain to the trees for irrigation purposes.
Extractions: Mike Kuhns, Former Extension Forester Previous Category Catalog Order Info It has been said that a tree is not planted until it has been in the ground five years. This is especially true in Nebraska, where trees are sometimes difficult to grow. Injury Prevention Proper planting and maintenance are the keys to keeping trees healthy and safe. The best way to care for tree injuries is to prevent them from happening. The first and possibly most important steps in injury prevention are proper selection, placement, and planting of a new tree (see NebGuide G77-347, How To Plant Landscape Trees Figure 1 ). Look at the site carefully and completely. Is the space large enough to accommodate the mature tree's crown and roots? Figure 1. Trees should be planted in shallow, wide holes to allow rapid root growth after planting. Planting trees too deep is a common problem. At the nursery select trees with well-developed crowns and no wounds on the trunk or branches. Trees pruned heavily in the nursery or severely wounded in handling may have serious problems later.

Extractions: Tree Injuries Prevention and Care by Dave Mooter, Community Forester and Michael Kuhns, Extension Forestry Specialist Introduction It has been said that a tree is not planted until it has been in the ground five years. This is especially true in Utah where trees are sometimes difficult to grow. But once a tree has been established it takes proper care and maintenance to keep it healthy and safe.

Proper planting and maintenance are the keys to keeping trees healthy and safe. Proper Selection and Planting The first and possibly most important steps in injury prevention are proper selection, placement, and planting of the new tree. Look at the site carefully and completely. Is the space large enough to accommodate the mature tree's crown and roots? At the nursery select trees with well developed crowns and no wounds on the trunk or branches. Trees pruned heavily in the nursery or severely wounded in handling may have serious problems later.

Extractions: University of Kentucky Entomology Several wasp species can be found around the yard. Although wasps feed on insects such as house flies and garden pests, some can also be dangerous to people. Most wasps typically ignore people. For example, social insects that live in colonies will readily sting when they perceive their nest or territory is threatened while solitary insects only sting in self-defense when mishandled. In addition, only female wasps can sting. In any case, it is best to regard any wasp with care before attempting to control it, since stings can be very painful. The best and easiest way to tell wasps apart is to look at the relative size of the wasp, and the pattern on the abdomen. Small wasps include yellow jackets and white grub parasites. Yellow jackets are social insects. Fertilized queens overwinter,then start a colony in the spring and provision the first brood of young. Once the first brood has matured, they will take over the provisioning duties, care for the queen and the following broods throughout the summer. In late summer, reproductive males and females will be produced, which consequently mate and then the females overwinter (colonies always die out at the end of the year). In order to eliminate yellow jacket wasps that are indirect competition with humans, the entire colony or nest must be eliminated. Football-shaped nests may be either in the ground or above ground, and will be paperlike.
