Any summer resident enjoys harvesting beautiful large apples, as they look appetizing and attractive.
However, sometimes you may notice that the fruits grow small in size.
Sometimes this is due to the type of tree: some apples are naturally meant to be miniature.
But in a number of cases we are talking about the mistakes of the summer resident, says landscape designer and agricultural scientist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
What is important for a gardener to remember
Timely pruning
If you perform this important procedure on a regular basis, the fruits will grow juicy, sweet and tasty. Removing excess shoots will help the tree retain more nutrients, which will have a positive effect on the quality of the harvest.
No feeding schedule
It is important not only to apply nutrients, but also to consider the needs of the crop at different stages of development. Therefore, it is better to draw up a fertilizer application schedule in advance so that the apples grow high-quality.
Moisture introduction
The apple tree does not require constant watering, but it should definitely be included in your gardening schedule.
Experienced gardeners apply moisture at least three times during the season.
It is important to remember that there should be a lot of water when watering. If we are talking about a fairly young tree (6 to 10 years old), then you need to pour in 13 buckets at a time.
For older apple trees, at least 20 buckets of water should be added per watering.
