Apple trees are the most popular trees in country houses.

After all, plants produce tasty and healthy fruits that many people like. In addition, fruits make excellent preparations for the winter: jams, compotes.

But it happens that a tree gets sick.

It is not always possible to save the plant, which means that you have to get rid of it.

In such cases, summer residents have a question about whether it is possible to plant a young apple tree in place of an old one.

Experienced gardeners say that it is better to abandon this idea.

A minimum of 3-5 years must pass between procedures.

The plot can be filled with other crops. It is also acceptable to plant seed plants instead of stone fruits.

If the plot is small and there is no way out, but you want to plant an apple tree, then the soil of the planting hole will have to be renewed by at least 10-12 cubic meters.

In this case, the new plant will not be infected with diseases and pests that may have remained after the previous planting.
