When planting a fruit tree, every summer resident probably expects to reap a generous harvest of luxurious apricots.
However, sometimes you can wait for years for the cherished moment.
As it turns out, the plant has its own reasons for not producing a harvest, noted landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
Why can't I harvest apricots?
Soil problems
An apricot will not bear fruit if there is groundwater nearby: such a high level of humidity is completely dangerous for a fruit tree.
The plant will not develop normally if the soil chosen for planting is too heavy. Particular problems arise on clay soils.
Hygiene procedures
Like many other crops, apricots depend largely on important hygiene procedures. First of all, it is worth remembering about regular and timely pruning.
Nutrition
It is important to remember that apricot needs constant and high-quality nutritional support. The crop responds well to both purchased mineral compositions and homemade organic fertilizers.
