APPLE

Pollination of Fruit TreesApples—Overall, apple trees need another variety to beproductive. That variety needs to be blooming at thesame time and be within a ¼ mile (the distance a beecan fly) of the apple tree. Generally speaking, in the Denver Metro area there are enough of both apple andcrabapple trees that pollination is not usually a prob-lem. But, if you want to be safe, plant two varietieswithin 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.

TREE WATERING GUIDELINES


TREE WATERING GUIDELINESWe are frequently asked “How much water does a tree need?”

so we hope the following information is helpful to you and yourcustomers. Soil textures, ranging from sand to heavy clay,weather conditions and water application methods all factor into determining tree water requirements. Generally, our treesneed a minimum of 3 ½ - 5 gallons of water per week to surviveduring the growing season.

The best test of soil moisture is pull back the mulch and geo-textile; use a soil knife carefully dig down about 6” deep to ascer-tain the moisture content. A soil probe can also be used to obtaina deeper core sample at the edge of the root ball. If the soil doesnot form a ball when squeezed in you hand, it needs water. If itmakes a moist ball easily, hold off on watering. The soil shouldresemble a nice chocolate brownie texture when the soil hasadequate moisture. It is important to remember that plant rootsneed oxygen as well as water; over watering drives air out of thesoil causing the plant to stress. Over watering is usually causedby frequency, not the quantity, of water. It is always best towater less frequently for longer periods of time. It is beneficialto run the irrigation system in two consecutive cycles with ashort rest in between; this practice allows the water to soak intothe soil deeper and efficiently.

During periods of drought andwater 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 TimeA standard garden hose at medium pressure delivers 10 gal-

lons of water in 5 minutes. For example, a 4” diameter treeshould receive 40 gallons of water – multiply by 5 minutes toequal total watering time of 20 minutes. Deep watering to adepth of 12 inches below soil surface and saturate the soil with-in the drip line of the branches to disperse water deeply to theroots. For evergreens, water 3-5 feet beyond the drip line on allsides.

Fall and winter watering of all plants is extremely important!Tree roots continue to grow throughout the winter and needmoisture to survive. Our winters are often cold, dry and windycausing soil to dry out quickly and plants experience droughtstress. Water all plants one or two times per month Octoberthrough March on a day when outdoor temperatures are above40˚ F and the ground is not frozen. Use the same amount ofwater as outlined above. Your trees and plants will greatlyappreciate this extra attention and reward you in the springwith healthy growth and endless beauty.

The history ofALAMEDA WHOLESALE

Stanley Brown Sr., our firm’s founder, started workingfor Marshall Nurseries in Arlington, Nebraska in1925 at the age of 14. After working up to a landscape

foreman he had the responsibility of planting the designs ofGloria Rapp, who had started her studies at Doane Collegein Nebraska, and later graduated from Iowa State at Ameswith a degree in Landscape Architecture. Stan and Gloriawere married November 2, 1940, and moved to Denver thefollowing month, where they would begin work on thelawns and landscaping for the Lincoln Park HousingProject, and later start a branch of Marshall Nurseries inthe spring of 1941.

In 1944 Stan left Marshall's and bought one square blockat the edge of town on a beaten gravel road (now known asWest Alameda Avenue and Canosa Court), and with thehelp of a partner, Gilbert Pike, Stan Brown Sr. opened aretail nursery and garden center. The partnership endedafter a year, but the tiny business continued to grow andprosper, with considerable credit going to the inventiveness,creativity, and introduction of new concepts to Denver suchas packaged peat moss, African Violet soil, and a liquid fer-tilizer truck for residential turf (called “Green Rain,” itproved to be 30 years too soon). In 1950 Mount ArborNursery sent a double order of Paul Scarlet roses, so Stanbought tar-paper pots from Hasler Nursery in Kansas City,and was the first nursery in the state to begin container-grown roses, and later container-grown trees and shrubs in5-gallon egg cans collected from local bakeries.

In 1957 a farm at West Dartmouth Avenue and SouthZuni Street was purchased to be the growing field for“Denver’s Garden Center” as it was then advertised. In1962 the property on West Alameda was sold and the gar-den center and nursery were moved to 3160 S. Zuni St.After the flood of 1965 the retail end of our business wasdropped in order to concentrate on wholesaling. The drop in

volume was significant, but the nursery struggled throughwith the idea that there was enough business in supplyingplants to landscapers and garden centers.

Stan Brown Jr. joined the business after leaving ColoradoState University in 1964 to work full time, and later wasjoined by his brother Arnold after he left IBM in 1969. The two sons worked their way up through the nursery andeventually purchased the business from their father in 1975.Stan Sr., Stan Jr. and Steve have served as presidents of theColorado Nurserymen’s Association, and Stan Jr. has servedas Denver Chapter president and state board president ofthe Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado.

In 1992 Stan Brown Sr. passed away. In 1993 the nurserymoved to 1950 W. Dartmouth Ave., doubling the amount ofland available.

Many valuable employees have joined us over the years. As the nursery has growen, our ownership hasevolved to include:

n Stan Brown Jr. - Started in 1964.President / Marketing, B&B Tree Buyer

n Alan Clark - Started in 1977.Sales, Evergreen/Broadleaf Container Manager

n Ron Brown - Started in 1978.Head Mechanic, Perennial Manager

n Dave Hall - Started in 1982.Yard Sales Manager, B & B Field Manager

n Scott Brown - Started in 1990.Inventory Manager

n Steve Brown -Started in 1995.Delivered Sales, Deciduous Container Manager

n Bill Owens -Started in 2008.Computer Operations, Accounting

The above mentioned employees have over 200 years com-bined nursery experience.

In more than 73 years of quality business and serviceAlameda Wholesale Nursery has evolved from a small“growing nursery” to one of the oldest and largest wholesalenurseries in Colorado.
