Experienced gardeners spend a lot of time in the fall caring for fruit trees.

Thanks to this, you can not only improve the health of crops and prepare them for the cold, but also ensure that next year the apple and pear trees grow large and sweet.

It is possible to concentrate on three important actions, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

What do they consist of?

Inspection of the tree

It is extremely important to remove branches that will only waste the tree's resources without bringing any benefit. It is better to do the pruning procedure now, when it is possible to see dry or damaged branches, so that there is an opportunity to remove them.

As a rule, this simple trick helps to significantly increase the yield of fruit trees.

Fertilizing and watering

It is important to provide apple and pear trees with sufficient nutrients and moisture so that they overwinter well and are able to produce a good harvest in the future.

It is best to use natural products - humus or compost.

Whitewash

It is important to remember that the procedure must be completed before the cold weather sets in. This will help the trees survive the winter with dignity.
