When the plum tree refuses to produce a solid harvest year after year, you need to feed the tree with this solution.

Many gardeners, looking at a “bald” plum, wonder what to do next.

It is necessary to give the tree nutrients that will help the plant bear fruit with its former strength.

The solution should be prepared in the spring. In the summer, the tree will already give a decent harvest, which will be enough for both canning and baking.

Fertilizer for plum

Fill a bucket with 10 liters of water, then stir 2 tablespoons of urea and potassium sulfate into the liquid.

After mixing, the solution is not used for 5 minutes. The liquid should be infused, and the fertilizer particles should completely dissolve.

Fertilizer is applied under the root twice per season. When the tree blossoms, it needs to be fed with nitrophoska - 30 g per 10 l of water.

Additionally, trees are mulched with compost or rotted manure. This way, plants will receive more nutrients, and moisture will evaporate more slowly.
