For a good harvest, it is important to feed the trees.
In the article we will tell you how and when to do this.
When to fertilize fruit trees
Seedlings need to be fertilized after 2-3 years, provided that fertilizers have been used.
If the soil on the site is fertile, then you need to feed the seedlings from July until the end of August with products with a high phosphorus content.
Most types of fruit bushes begin to produce crops in the 2nd year.
The best way to feed fruit trees
Mineral and organic fertilizers are best suited for fertilization.
Organic include humus, manure, peat, litter, compost. In addition, for minerals - ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, urea.
The first spring feeding should contain fertilizers with nitrogen.
To water the soil around the trunk, use urea, pigeon or chicken droppings, or ammonium nitrate according to the instructions.
To water 1 tree you need about 5 liters of solution.
How often should young fruit trees be watered
Professional gardeners recommend watering fruit trees 2-3 times during the summer, and in dry weather - 3-4 times.
However, if you are just planting an apple, pear or other fruit tree, then for its rapid establishment it is worth watering the seedling 2-3 times a month.
