The chances of getting a bountiful apple crop will be reduced if poor weather conditions persist for too long.

However, a fruit tree can be “helped” even in such a situation.

It is necessary to feed the plant correctly during flowering - and then there will be no problems with fruit setting, even if the air temperature in the spring is too low.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh named a remedy that will help save the future harvest.

What product are we talking about?

If the spring weather is unfavorable for the development of the apple tree, then the fruit tree should be fed with a product that is prepared as follows: add 10 grams of boric acid to a bucket of water.

The result will be a solution that should be used for foliar feeding.

The result of the procedure will be the replenishment of the boron deficiency, which is so important for the flowering of the apple tree and for the formation of fruits on this tree.

As soon as the ovaries begin to form, the plant will need to be sprayed with a urea solution: this is necessary to consolidate the results of the previous feeding.
