Unfortunately, many gardeners are not pleased with the fruiting of their apple trees on a regular basis.

However, if you remember the recommendations of the famous Russian scientist Ivan Michurin, you can forget about the problem.

According to the biologist and breeder, the first thing to do is to plan pruning for the fall so that new shoots can begin to grow in the spring.

It is advisable to complete the relevant work before mid-November, a period when frost becomes a permanent phenomenon.

If you have cut a branch, it is recommended to cover the cut with candle wax, but it is not recommended to use garden pitch for this purpose, as it is harmful.

Another valuable piece of advice is to bury iron objects about half a meter from the apple tree. For example, nails.

It is worth noting that even these tips do not provide a 100% guarantee that your apple trees will bear fruit every year.

But at the very least they will save you from crop failure: that is, one year may have a good harvest, another – a smaller one.

Therefore, experienced gardeners advise analyzing tree care and, if there were any mistakes, be sure to take them into account.
