In autumn, fertilization is considered a necessary maintenance procedure, since fruit trees are in dire need of it.

This is necessary if you do not want next year's harvest to be very mediocre.

What to look out for

First, the tree is watered generously so that the nutrients can be absorbed as well as possible. Then, for each apple tree, we take a handful of ash and thirty grams of superphosphate.

This mixture should be sent directly into the soil within the tree trunk circle.
