How to feed an apple tree in May

In the final weeks of spring, the gardener should use nitroammophoska.

This complex fertilizer contains everything a fruit tree needs before the onset of summer.

We are talking about nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus components.

If you need to feed a young plant, then you need to use 25 grams of nitroammophoska for each square meter.

But if the apple trees are mature, the norm increases to 40 grams.

In addition, it makes sense to use ash in the spring. One young apple tree will need 200 grams of unburned wood residue, but an adult tree needs 300 grams of this powder.

Earlier, summer residents were told how to save flowering fruit trees from recurrent frosts.
