Apricot is a fruit tree that can be grown in your garden. In this article, we will talk about tree pruning.
Is it possible to prune apricots in spring
It is necessary to prune the apricot in the spring before the sap begins to flow, otherwise you can seriously harm the tree.
Hardened resin greatly depletes the tree.
Apricot grows much faster than other trees, so it needs to be pruned two or three times a year.
The time of pruning depends on the climate, because in the southern regions, apricot pruning in the spring can begin in late March, while in the central regions in mid-April.
In the spring, begin to form a crown.
The most practical type of crown is sparsely tiered.
This means that the tree is left with up to six main rough (skeletal) branches at different heights.
What is the best way to feed apricots in spring
You should use superphosphate, ammonium nitrate and potassium sulfate.
For trees older than 10 years, the amount of the substances listed above increases several times.
Additionally, potassium salt is suitable as a fertilizer.
