Fruit Tree PruningA three-part Sundial Times article by Dan LuriePruning deciduous fruit trees can be a confusing and daunting task for both seasoned and novice gardeners. In addition to frequently producing impressive amounts of new growth each year, many deciduous fruit trees also have widely differing ways of bearing fruit. Despite these inherent challenges, it remains true that a well pruned and trained fruit tree will have good structure to support its crop, allow air and light to reach fruit, be easily thinned and harvested, and still provide a pleasing aesthetic element in the garden. With a commitment to keen observation of your tree, and an understanding of the basic principles presented in this series of articles, anyone can enjoy the pleasure of fresh, quality fruit from their garden’s trees.

The Most Disease–Resistant Roses at Filoliby Lucy Tolmach, Director of HorticultureIn an effort to reduce the use of toxic fungicides and to improve the display quality of the rose garden, we have been selecting disease-resistant and fragrant roses, and removing roses which perform poorly under our conditions. Because of El Niño, 1998 was one of our worst years for growing roses; however, it was a good test year to make observations and discover which roses are susceptible and resistant to black spot, rust and mildew.
