It is always nice to see how young seedlings take root. The task of the gardener during this period is to give the plants a good start for growth.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , currently available seedlings that begin to bloom very early, which is determined by the rootstock, that is, on what roots the varieties were grafted.

At the same time, the specialist reminds that the first flowering can significantly weaken fruit trees.

For this reason, it is better to sacrifice the first harvest and not allow the young tree to form a full crop.

In order for the tree to be able to direct all its energy towards growth, development and the formation of a lush and powerful crown, the gardener is required to remove the maximum number of buds, or better yet, all of them.

This simple technique will significantly improve the growth and development of the tree without additional agricultural measures.

Flowering is a very energy-consuming process for plants, not to mention the formation of the harvest, so you should not strive for a quick harvest.

Instead, give young trees a chance to get established and begin growing properly.
