How to feed an apple tree: the fruits will be sweeter than honey

31.03.2023 20:54

At the beginning of a new season, every gardener dreams that the apple trees will produce a large harvest of sweet and aromatic fruits.

From dream to reality, just one additional feeding. This fertilizer is applied even by experienced gardeners who have been growing apples for decades.

A tree can produce a lot of fruit without the help of a gardener, if there are enough basic nutrients. Not everyone can grow really sweet fruits.

The whole secret is in the boron fertilizer. It changes the taste of apples, giving them a "honey" note.

However, there is a downside. Such fruits are stored worse. It is necessary to create more favorable conditions so that the storage life of apples increases.

For foliar feeding, use a solution of 10-20 g of boric acid per 10 l of water.

Spraying is done before sunset. The first treatment is done at the beginning of bud opening, and the second - after 5-7 days.

Top dressing reduces the number of fallen ovaries, which increases the yield by 25-30%.
