Would the mold kill a tree? Or should we just let it be? \u2013 JZ, Columbus, Indiana<\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Difficult to answer specifically without having an accurate diagnosis of what you describe as \u201cmold.\u201d While there are several diseases that produce fungal growths on tree trunks and limbs, other growths may be secondary or benign. Examples include lichens, a greenish, scaly growth (https:\/\/www.ppdl.purdue.edu\/PPDL\/weeklypics\/1-12-04.html) and various shelf fungi (https:\/\/www.ppdl.purdue.edu\/PPDL\/weeklypics\/Weekly_Picture8-30-99.html).<\/p>\n<p>Best bet is to get an accurate diagnosis. You can send or bring photos to your local county office of Purdue Extension. You\u2019ll find contact information for your county at <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.purdue.edu\/about\/county-office.html#counties\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/extension.purdue.edu\/about\/county-office.html<\/a>. Or you can submit your digital images directly to the Purdue Plant and Pest Diagnostic Laboratory. See more info at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ppdl.purdue.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.ppdl.purdue.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.<\/strong>\u00a0I\u00a0have two peach saplings and three apple saplings that I would like to plant within 15 feet of each other.\u00a0Is there a specific arrangement I should plant the trees in? I was planning on a 15-foot square with an apple tree at two corners and the peach trees on the opposing corners. The third apple tree would be offset 15 feet from the square arrangement. Also, do apple trees need a different type of apple pollen to propagate?\u00a0\u2013 BR, Borden, Indiana.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Are these saplings ones that you purchased as dwarf trees, or are they ones that you\u2019ve grown from seed? Your proposed spacing could be too crowded for all but the most dwarf apple trees and will likely be too close for peach. Count on the trees maturing as wide as they are tall. Good air circulation and light penetration is critical for disease prevention, and you\u2019ll need space to access for maintenance, harvest, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If your saplings are dwarf trees, spacing at 20-25 feet apart would provide sufficient space yet be close enough to facilitate cross pollination. If these are seedling trees where mature height and fruiting quality will not be predictable, you\u2019ll need considerably more space.\u00a0 And cross-pollination needs of seedling trees are not predictable.<\/p>\n<p>Cross-pollination requirements vary by cultivar and species of fruit tree.\u00a0 Most cultivars of apple do need to be pollinized by a different but compatible cultivar in order to set fruit, though there are a few that are considered self-fruitful. Peaches do not require cross pollination.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on home fruit growing, see the following resources:<\/p>\n<p>Apple Cultivars for Indiana:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/hla\/sites\/yardandgarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/10\/HO-165.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.hort.purdue.edu\/ext\/HO-165.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pollination of Fruits and Nuts:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/hla\/sites\/yardandgarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/10\/HO-174.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.hort.purdue.edu\/ext\/HO-174.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Purdue Fruit Gardening Resources:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/hort.purdue.edu\/ext\/PurdueFruitResources.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beware of black cherry toxicity; it&#8217;s weedy, too Q.
