Ornamental Tree Nurseries & John Cushnie
Ornamental Tree NurseriesTerms used in describing ornamental and fruit trees:
½ standard - a tree with approx. 1.2 metres of stem before the head of the tree.
¼ standard - a tree with approx. 90cm of stem before the head of the tree.
A standard is a term used to describe - fruit tree on a 150cm. clear stem. Planted in orchards and usually budded on a vigorous, (M25), root stock.
Other horticultural terms which I will define in future posts include: Coppicing and pollarding.
Take a look at Gardeners' Corner (BBC Radio 4) with John Cushnie where you will find his bi-monthly articles - he has some great advice for your garden; his gardening advice articles cover everything from bulbs to vegetables to lawns to hedges.
