A49545	Plain and full instructions to raise all sorts of fruit-trees that prosper in England in that method and order, that everything must be done in, to give all the advantage, may be, to every tree as it is rising from its seed, till it come to its full growth : together with all necessary directions about those several ways of making plantations, either of wall-fruit, or dwarf-trees in gardens, or large standard-trees in orchards or fields : touching which last, because it's so vast in improvement of land, all the profitable and practical ways are here directed to with all exactness : and in the last place the best directions are given for making liquors of the several sorts of fruit / by T. Langford.	Langford, T.	1681 (1681)	Wing L388; ESTC R13964	68,292	176

you ought to have respect and also to the kinds of Fruit-trees you Plant for some Trees take up more room in their growth than others as most Pear-trees more than Apple-trees and some Apple-trees more than others according to their aptness to grow more or less too tedious and difficult to be here related only the Redstrake being generally a desired Fruit you may take notice that it 's one of the least Apple-trees where it yields the best Cyder sometimes it 's almost but a shrub It 's certainly best in many respects for Trees to be Planted at a very good distance for 1. The Plantation will be little annoyance to the Land if either you set Garden stuff in it sow Corn on it while the Trees are young or Graze it when they are grown up 2. Whereas some say the more Trees the more Fruit that 's absolutely false for when they are set so close that the Sun cannot have a good influence upon them they bear poorly and ripen worse 3. They cannot grow to be Trees of that size as they would if the land be good being set at a good distance and some kind of Trees being of stronger and swifter growth than others will so domineer over their neighbours that they will make them almost good for nothing 4. You may plant betwixt every Tree a Cherry-tree or Codling-tree which may grow up and bear with the other Trees many years and never prejudice them but will decay before the others are at full growth Or you may set a young Apple-tree or Pear-tree betwixt every two of your standards that you set in your Orchard and nurse it up with necessary dressing and pruning seven or eight years or less time to Transplant into Fields or Pasture-land where Cattle feed whereby with little help it will not be in such danger of hurt from Cattle as small ones would and bear Fruit soon after it 's set and you cannot let them grow so long in your Nursery without galling or hurting one another unless when you remove Trees out of your Nursery you take care to leave every other Tree whereby they may have liberty to grow big and so more sit for your fields Of transplanting Trees young or old Sect. 7. I know some are for removing Trees very young and it 's certainly the best way if they can be secure from danger which in Orchards or Fields where Cattle have liberty to feed they cannot well be with ordinary fencing unless they be of five or six years growth after graffing He that hath a Nursery of his own and removes them into places so near that he can well do it let him the very same or the next day after they are taken up set them in the place appointed for them and not cut off too much of the roots but the greatest part of the top And he may do well to plant strong and well grown Trees especially in his fields and out-grounds for the charge of Fencing will be much eased and being carefully set they may prosper as well or better than small ones especially in uncultivated or stiff land by Nature where young Trees cannot so well put forth roots And here I shall propose a surer way to have old Trees remov'd grow and prosper well than is commonly practis'd that is If you chance to have any Trees betwixt ten and thirty years old that you have a mind to remove you must about November the year before you transplant them dig a trench as narrow as you please but so deep as to meet with most of the spreading Roots at such a distance round about the body of the Tree as you would cut the roots off at when you remove it about half a yard distant from the body may do well if they be not very large Trees but if you have not far to carry them leave them longer as you make the Trench cut the roots you meet with clear off and smooth without splitting them or bruising the bark fill up the Trench again and by October next after when you take up the Tree to set it elsewhere you will find those great roots will have put forth many fibrous roots and made preparation for more which fresh and tender roots upon removal will enable the Tree to draw more nourishment than otherwise it would and consequently to prosper the better in its new mansion The order Sect. 8. The best way you can set Trees in an Orchard is according to the Figure which is called a Quincunx You are to proceed in setting your Trees in the ground by the same general rules given for Wall-fruit observing exactly all that is there but only what in particular concerns the wall Also in transplanting any big Trees men generally observe to coast them as it 's termed tha● is to place the same side of the Tree ●o the South East c. as grew so me●ly that way where it stood before to which end before you remove it you had best make some mark in the bark of the Tree which way it stood this you may observe in straight Trees but it 's more material if your Trees lean one way more than another to set the leaning side towards the south-South-West from whence the strongest winds blow T●● Fence Sect. 9. The best quick Fence for your Orchard is a good white-thorn that when it 's grown up may be plashed the better to prevent the creeping of Hogs or Sheep into it set no smooth quick in it that may grow to great Trees because they will be hurtful both to the Hedg and Fruit-trees both by their tops and roots when they are grown up but set two rows of good Hawthorn and make the dead-hedg on the outside the ditch and the quick-set will grow the faster for the hedg upon the ditch is apt to choak the quick And thus with sometimes weeding it you may soon raise a good fence If you have an old hedg already about your Orchard scour the ditch and plash the hedg and cut down all big Trees that grow in it unless on the North or West-side the one requiring a defence to keep the Orchard warm the other to secure it somewhat from the strong winds that blow down the fruit before it's ripe though it 's better they grew on the outside the hedg Sect. 10. Your Orchard-fruit-trees as well as others Pruning will need some pruning which you may observe to do after this manner if you desire they should be tall Trees cut off all the side branches till they are grown to the height you desire if to spread low let some be left on each side that the boughs on any one side may not weigh down the Tree but that it may grow straight upright And suffer them not the first three years at least to grow thick and bushey headed by cutting off some of the inside shoots and such as grow cross one another or pendant what you cut off from the bodies or
