You can actually make your fruit trees low-growing
and highly productive. Just grow them the proper way
by pruning judiciously and giving them the right
nutrition.
How to produce such low-growing fruit trees will be
one of the topics to be discussed by
Bernie Dizon, a
fruit expert who has a techno-demo farm at the
Central Luzon State
University.
He will discuss in full details the ABC of growing
high-value fruit trees both in the backyard as well
as in plantations. These include
durian,
mangosteen, lychee,
duku, longkong lanzones,
Davao pummelo,
ponkan orange and
latexless jackfruit from Malaysia. |

materials, watering, mulching to minimize loss of water, and
