With the end of spring flowering, the care of apple trees does not end. In summer, trees need attention and fertilizers, and not just timely watering.
We will tell you which trees in the garden need to be fed in June and why this is so important.
It is important to add nutrient mixtures in June to seedlings planted 2-3 years ago, which are not growing in the most mineral-rich soil.
You can add rotted manure or compost, which is distributed in the trunk area.
Why in June?
It is considered to be one of the important fertilizers.
It is at this time that the tree needs strength to form fruits. If you ignore this moment, the harvest may be meager.
What to feed
1. A solution of boric acid is prepared from 5 g of the product per 10 liters of water, and after dissolution it is used for spraying.
This remedy is good to use in damp and rainy summers to prevent the development of fungal and other diseases in the soil.
2. Take 1/10 of a bucket of cow manure, 2 cups of wood ash and 2 tablespoons of superphosphate and potassium magnesium sulfate. Mix the ingredients and add water, which is then used to water the tree at a rate of 1 bucket per apple tree.
Important! The solution is applied around the trunk, and not poured into one place.
In addition, before applying nutrient mixtures, it is necessary to water the trees generously.
