After the spring flowering of apple trees, their care continues, requiring more than just regular watering. In June, it’s crucial to feed certain apple trees in your garden. Let’s explore why this feeding is important and what fertilizers to use.
Importance of June Feeding
June is a critical time for nutrient application. Young trees, especially those planted 2-3 years ago in less nutrient-rich soil, need additional resources to properly form fruit. Without adequate nutrition during this period, you risk a significantly reduced yield.
Recommended Fertilizers
- Boric Acid Solution:
- Prepare a solution using 5 grams of boric acid per 10 liters of water.
- This mixture can be sprayed during rainy or humid weather to help prevent the development of fungal and other soil diseases.
- Nutrient Mix:
- Combine 1/10 of a bucket of cow manure, 2 cups of wood ash, and 2 tablespoons each of superphosphate and calimagnesia.
- Apply this solution around the tree, calculating 1 bucket per apple tree.
Application Tips
- Distribution: It’s important to apply the solution in a circle around the trunk, rather than pouring it in one spot.
- Pre-Watering: Ensure the trees are well-watered before applying any nutrients to maximize absorption.
By following these guidelines and providing the right fertilizers, you can help ensure that your apple trees produce large, juicy fruits.
