One position of branches on a columnar apple tree will deprive the harvest: what many summer residents do not realize
Many summer residents naively believe that this variety of apple trees does not require care.
Columnar apple trees are a real salvation for gardeners who own small plots.
The trees are compact, but at the same time allow you to collect a solid harvest. But because of one mistake, the apple tree can leave without juicy and aromatic fruits.
The main nuance is that columnar apple trees can also branch. Less than other varieties, but these trees also need to be pruned.
It is important to pay attention to the branches of the plant. If they have forked, it is time to remove competitors.
It should be remembered that an apple tree that is propagated on a seedling rootstock tends to branch more strongly. Only dwarf trees exhibit true columnarity.
If you ignore pruning, the quality of the harvest will decline over the years. Over time, one tree will barely produce a basket of fruit.
