That variety needs to be blooming at the same time and be within a ¼ mile (the distance a bee can fly) of the apple tree. Generally speaking, in the Denver Metro area there are enough of both apple and crabapple trees that pollination is not usually a problem. But, if you want to be safe, plant two varieties within 100' of each other. Apricot—Use two varieties, or in most cases, Nanking Cherry will do the job. Sweet Cherries—Use two varieties, sour cherries will work as a pollinator. Sour Cherries—Self-fertile. Peaches—Self-fertile. Pears—Most need another variety for better yield. Ornamental Pears work as well. Plums—Most need two varieties. American plum or Western sand cherry will pollinate as well. APPLE, ‘4 in 1’ – ESPALIER Malus sp.

Soil textures, ranging from sand to heavy clay, weather conditions and water application methods all factor in to determining tree water requirements. Generally, our trees need a minimum of 3 ½ - 5 gallons of water per week to survive during the growing season. The best test of soil moisture is pull back the mulch and geotextile; use a soil knife carefully dig down about 6” deep to ascertain the moisture content. A soil probe can also be used to obtain a deeper core sample at the edge of the root ball. If the soil does not form a ball when squeezed in you hand, it needs water. If it makes a moist ball easily, hold off on watering. The soil should resemble a nice chocolate brownie texture when the soil has adequate moisture. It is important to remember that plant roots need oxygen as well as water; over watering drives air out of the soil causing the plant to stress. Over watering is usually caused by frequency, not the quantity, of water. It is always best to water less frequently for longer periods of time. It is beneficial to run the irrigation system in two consecutive cycles with a short rest in between; this practice allows the water to soak into the soil deeper and efficiently. During periods of drought and water restrictions: A general rule is to use approximately 10 gallons of water per inch of trunk diameter. To calculate amount of water per tree, measure trunk at knee height: Tree Diameter x 5 minutes= Total Watering Time A standard garden hose at medium pressure delivers 10 gallons of water in 5 minutes. For example, a 4” diameter tree should receive 40 gallons of water – multiply by 5 minutes to equal total watering time of 20 minutes. Deep watering to a depth of 12 inches below soil surface and saturate the soil within the drip line of the branches to disperse water deeply to the roots. For evergreens, water 3-5 feet beyond the drip line on all sides. Fall and winter watering of all plants is extremely important! Tree roots continue to grow throughout the winter and need moisture to survive. Our winters are often cold, dry and windy causing soil to dry out quickly and plants experience drought stress. Water all plants one or two times per month October through March on a day when outdoor temperatures are above 40˚ F and the ground is not frozen. Use the same amount of water as outlined above. Your trees and plants will greatly appreciate this extra attention and reward you in the spring with healthy growth and endless beauty.

FAX 303-761- 6132 ALAMEDA WHOLESALE Page 147 HISTORY S The history of ALAMEDA WHOLESALE tanley Brown Sr., our firm’s founder, started working for Marshall Nurseries in Arlington, Nebraska in 1925 at the age of 14. After working up to a landscape foreman he had the responsibility of planting the designs of Gloria Rapp, who had started her studies at Doane College in Nebraska, and later graduated from Iowa State at Ames with a degree in Landscape Architecture. Stan and Gloria were married November 2, 1940, and moved to Denver the following month, where they would begin work on the lawns and landscaping for the Lincoln Park Housing Project, and later start a branch of Marshall Nurseries in the spring of 1941. In 1944 Stan left Marshall's and bought one square block at the edge of town on a beaten gravel road (now known as West Alameda Avenue and Canosa Court), and with the help of a partner, Gilbert Pike, Stan Brown Sr. opened a retail nursery and garden center. The partnership ended after a year, but the tiny business continued to grow and prosper, with considerable credit going to the inventiveness, creativity, and introduction of new concepts to Denver such as packaged peat moss, African Violet soil, and a liquid fertilizer truck for residential turf (called “Green Rain,” it proved to be 30 years too soon). In 1950 Mount Arbor Nursery sent a double order of Paul Scarlet roses, so Stan bought tar-paper pots from Hasler Nursery in Kansas City, and was the first nursery in the state to begin containergrown roses, and later container-grown trees and shrubs in 5-gallon egg cans collected from local bakeries. In 1957 a farm at West Dartmouth Avenue and South Zuni Street was purchased to be the growing field for “Denver’s Garden Center” as it was then advertised. In 1962 the property on West Alameda was sold and the garden center and nursery were moved to 3160 S. Zuni St. After the flood of 1965 the retail end of our business was dropped in order to concentrate on wholesaling. The drop in volume was significant, but the nursery struggled through with the idea that there was enough business in supplying plants to landscapers and garden centers. Stan Brown Jr. joined the business after leaving Colorado State University in 1964 to work full time, and later was joined by his brother Arnold after he left IBM in 1969. The two sons worked their way up through the nursery and eventually purchased the business from their father in 1975. Stan Sr., Stan Jr. and Steve have served as presidents of the Colorado Nurserymen’s Association, and Stan Jr. has served as Denver Chapter president and state board president of the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado. In 1992 Stan Brown Sr. passed away. In 1993 the nursery moved to 1950 W. Dartmouth Ave., doubling the amount of land available.
