Fertilizing of shrubs and trees is necessary from spring to autumn.

If you are not sure that you are following the procedure according to all the rules, it would not hurt to find out how gardeners with many years of “experience” apply fertilizers.

There are several options for fertilizing.

For example, fertilizers can be applied dry into the tree trunk circle or added to water for irrigation.

Advanced plant growers are confident that all trees and shrubs benefit from foliar feeding, which is done by spraying.

Particularly effective, for example, is three-fold spraying with a urea solution prepared from 40 g of the substance and 10 liters of water.

Three-time spraying, which is carried out in spring and early summer, will provide the leaves with additional nutrition and will have a beneficial effect on the formation of flower buds.

In addition, before and after flowering, it is worth spraying the trees with boron to improve the process of ovary formation.

Finally, the quality and shelf life of the fruit will be noticeably better if you spray the plantings with calcium nitrate during the ripening period. The procedure must be carried out twice.
