There are several ways to get tasty and juicy fruits.

The first method involves gradually introducing fertilizers.

You should start in mid-April. During this period, you need to scatter azofoska around the trunk. It is enough to take one and a half handfuls of the product.

The procedure should be repeated in mid- and late May. In this case, the plants should be watered frequently and abundantly. One plant will require 2 buckets of water, but once a week. The amount of fertilizer and water should increase depending on the age of the tree.

If the first method is not suitable, and there are young plants on the site that do not bear fruit, then the pinching method will do. But you should not expect fruits immediately, but in 2-3 years.

What to do for this?

It's very simple. As soon as the young shoots reach a length of 20-25 cm, their tops are pinched so that 2-3 leaves remain. In this case, the branch spends all its energy on maturing.

If the plant is older than 3 years, then the constriction method can be used. At the end of spring, it is advisable to select 3-4 skeletal branches and tightly constrict them with wire at the base.

The place should be wrapped with burlap beforehand so as not to damage the branches. After a couple of months, the bandage should be removed. As a result, the harvest can be expected the following year.
