Pears runs a close second as the most common espalier fruit. When you start growing espalier pear trees, you train the tree branches along the wires of a trellis. At Greenhills Nursery Espalier Pear trees are available in Low Pleached.
Bananas are elongated curved fruits that grow in clusters on banana plants. They vary in size, color and firmness but have soft starchy flesh inside a peel. Some individual bananas are packaged in Styrofoam trays and plastic wrap which is an inefficient and environmentally harmful way to package them, as bananas are usually sold loose in bunches without extra packaging.
This document provides information about growing fig trees, including three varieties - 'Petite Negra', 'Chicago Hardy', and 'Black Mission'. It discusses the size, bloom/fruiting seasons, and origins of fig trees. It also provides care instructions like light/temperature requirements, fertilizing, pruning, and overwintering techniques for growing figs in pots or outdoors in colder zones. Popular varieties like 'Black Mission' are highlighted for their ability to produce two crops per season and renowned sweetness.

Plants need good soil, water, sunlight, air, and care to be healthy. They obtain nutrients from soil and use water, sunlight, carbon dioxide from air to photosynthesize and produce their own food. Plants provide many benefits to humans including food, building materials, medicines, clothing materials, and oxygen production. They also help control soil erosion, absorb rainwater, and provide shade.
The document discusses the basic needs and parts of plants. It asks questions about whether plants breathe, move, or find their own food. It then explains that plants, people, and animals all need air, soil, water, and sunlight to live. The main parts of plants discussed are the stem, leaves, flowers, fruits, and roots. It provides statements about the functions of each part and asks the reader to identify them as true or false. The document concludes by reminding the reader that plants are living things that need certain conditions, and encourages taking care of plants.
Formative assessment importance of propagating treesLeoj Hewe

The key provided at the end answers each statement.
This document summarizes information from the University of California Cooperative Extension Solano County Master Gardeners Spring 2012 newsletter. It includes summaries of straw bale gardening, plums, and top tree allergens in Solano County. For straw bale gardening, wheat straw bales can be used as raised garden beds. Vegetables, herbs and flowers can be planted. For plums, several varieties that grow well locally are described and recipes for fresh and preserved plums are provided. Regarding trees, alder, ash, birch, box elder, oak, and willow are identified as the main tree allergens in Solano County.
Seeds are stored to preserve genetic diversity and protect against future problems with food supply. Storing seeds maintains important genetic information and allows crops to be replaced if lost or changed. Seeds go through a process of threshing, cleaning, drying, and storage to remove moisture so they remain viable for long periods without freezing or thawing damage. Seed banks are important for retaining control of food sources and providing crops far into the future by preserving varietals and genetic variation more efficiently than living plants.

Apple (Malus pumila) is an important temperate fruit. Apples are mostly consumed fresh but a small part of the production is processed in to juices, jellies, canned slices and other items.
In India, Apple is primarily cultivated in Jammu & Kashmir; Himachal Pradesh; hills of Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal. It is also cultivated to a small extent in Arunachal Pradesh; Nagaland; Punjab and Sikkim.
Climate
The apple is a temperate fruit crop. However, in India the apple growing areas do not fall in temperate zone but the prevailing temperate climate of the region is due to the Himalayan ranges and high altitudes. The average summer temperature should be around 21-24oC during active growth period. Apple succeeds best in regions where the trees experience uninterrupted rest in winter and abundant sunshine for good colour development. It can be grown at an altitude of 1500- 2700 m above the sea level. Well-distributed rainfall of 1000-1250 mm throughout the growing season is most favourable for optimum growth and fruitfulness of apple trees.
Varieties
Jammu and Kashmir : Golden Delicious (Late Season), Lal Ambri, Mollies Delicious, Starkrimson, Red June, Irish Peach, Benoni and Tydeman’s Early
Himachal Pradesh : Golden Delicious (Late Season), Red Delicious (Mid season), McIntosh
Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh : McIntosh, Chaubattia Anupam
Tamil Nadu : Irish Peach and Zouches Pipin (Early); KKL 1, Carrington and Winterstein (Mid -season); Rome Beauty and Parlin’s Beauty (late)
Soil
Apples grow best on a well-drained, loam soils having a depth of 45 cm and a pH range of pH 5.5-6.5. The soil should be free from hard substrata and water-logged conditions. Soils with heavy clay or compact subsoil are to be avoided.
Propagation
Grafting : Apples are propagated by several methods viz.; whip, tongue, cleft and roots grafting. Tongue and cleft grafting at 10-15 cm above the collar during February-March gives the best results. Usually grafting is done at the end of winter.
Budding : Apples are mostly propagated by shield budding, which gives a high percentage of success. In shield budding a single bud along with a shield piece of stem is cut along with the scion and inserted beneath the rind of the rootstock through a 'T' shaped incision during active growth period. Budding is done when the buds are fully formed during summer. The optimum time of budding is September in Kashmir Valley, Kumaon hills of Uttaranchal, high hills of Himachal Pradesh and June in mid hills of Himachal Pradesh.
Rootstocks : Most of the apple plants are grafted or budded on seedling of wild crab apple. The seedling rootstocks obtained from the seeds of diploid cultivars like Golden Delicious, Yellow Newton, Wealthy, Macintosh and Granny Smith also can be used. High density planting is done using dwarfing rootstocks (M9, M4, M7 and M106).
Trees are vitally important as they produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, stabilize soil, and provide materials for tools, shelters, and medicine. The document then describes five specific tree types - blue gum, roses, peach trees, pine trees, and privet trees - detailing their key features, uses, and growing information. In conclusion, the author explains how trees prevent soil erosion, improve soil health, and help create soil.

The fruits can be round, ovoid or pear-shaped and vary in color from white to red. Guavas grow best in frost-free, sunny locations with rich, well-drained soil and regular watering. They produce better with fertilizer and pruning. Common pests include diseases, whiteflies, and fruit flies. Ripe guavas have a distinctive aroma and color and can be eaten fresh off the tree or stored for a few weeks. There are several popular cultivars that differ in fruit size, color, and flavor.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
