It is known that at the end of the season, fruit trees need feeding, since they have exhausted almost all of their resource reserves.
But the procedure must be carried out correctly.
If a mistake is made during this important process, the application of fertilizers will be simply useless.
What are the important points to pay attention to?
Natural or industrial
There is no right answer here: both are good options. Therefore, you can choose compost with humus or choose the most suitable industrial complexes that take into account all the needs of the apple tree.
Preparation
It is best to carry out autumn feeding of fruit trees at the moment when you have already pruned, cleared the trunk of moss if there is any, cleared the trunk circle, and loosened the soil.
In this case, the fertilizer will be absorbed much better.
Volume
Young trees (apple trees up to four years old) are offered 20 kilograms of organic fertilizers and 150 grams of industrial complexes per square meter.
Older trees should receive up to 50 kilograms of organic fertilizers and up to 0.5 kg of industrial complexes.
