A fruit tree can grow on a plot for years without bearing fruit. Do not rush to get rid of the plant in this case.
First, we need to determine why there are no apples. There may be several reasons.
Why the apple tree does not bear fruit
It is possible that the tree was poorly cared for. For example, preventive treatments against parasites were not carried out. In this case, the plant could have been attacked by a weevil, which harms apple blossoms, and as a result, the gardener is faced with the fact that there is no harvest.
In addition, the plant will not produce a harvest if there is no cross-pollination.
The problem can also be encountered in a situation where there is too much nitrogen in the soil but not enough iron.
There will also be no harvest if the groundwater is high. The fact is that the roots rot and generative buds stop forming.
How to make an apple tree bear fruit
If the tree is young, you can have time to correct the mistakes made during planting. It is necessary to take into account that the root collar should be at ground level. It is necessary to stop pruning the shoots for a while.
It is advisable to add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
The garden should also be treated against parasites. As experienced owners note, special trapping belts can be installed against weevils. If they do not help, then you should pay attention to chemicals against pests.
