Fruit trees growing: soil and site choosing
Often gardeners are slightly limited in their choice of the space, but it is important to choose as good one as possible. Try to avoid low lying areas where cold air will be accumulating. Plant your fruit trees in places with good enough sunlight exposure. Do not forget that to obtain maximum growth and yield a tree must be planted in good soil. This is the first vital requirement once the correct variety has been selected. A good soil may even replace other considerations such as sunlight. Without a good root environment fruit tree will not respond to care in an optimal way.
Ability to drain water throughout the root system is the main factor in selecting a soil. If you want to determine the internal drainage factor of a soil, you should dig an 8-inch hole 32 inches deep and fill it with 5 gallons of water. Then let the soil absorb the water for an hour then fill it again. The soil has good internal drainage when the hole is empty in 24 hours. If soil requires 48 hours to drain, the internal drainage is poor but sufficient. If any water remains after 2 days do not plant trees there.
Note that the solid layers will limit drainage and need to be cracked or drilled to allow water drainage.
