They advise selecting main branches with wide angles, spacing for sunlight, and avoiding deep pruning later to prevent delayed bearing. Also covered are bare root planting, balled and burlapped stock, soil preparation, hole sizing, and cautious fertilization.

Diseases Hurt Breeding Exports
Blue tongue and bovine leukosis virus threaten U S breeding stock exports. Janice Miller of the National Animal Disease Center reported at Kansas State University that BLV has been isolated and a voluntary certification program is recommended. Experts note no vaccine exists, testing and culling can remove BLV, and many countries require negative serology before import. Multiple regions report varying prevalence, with testing advised for suspected cases and veterinary sampling to identify viral causes.
