Stone fruits, especially plums, have many valuable qualities.

Under favorable conditions, each tree produces an average yield of 30-50 kg of fruit, and some varieties produce over 100 kg.

If summer residents forget to feed the tree before flowering, there is nothing to worry about. The blossoming buds do not interfere with the plum tree's ability to absorb nutrients.

Liquid fertilizers are best. Especially during flowering. You can use a complex product, for example, nitrophoska (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium).

Urea is also an excellent soluble fertilizer for plums, gardeners say.

Some summer residents remain faithful to wood ash. They prepare a simple but effective fertilizer for stone fruit crops from it.

Mix a glass of ash and a bucket of boiling water. The liquid should stand for 30-60 minutes, and then you can add the solution under the root. This is also a good complex fertilizer, gardeners emphasize.
