An apple tree grows in our home garden. She has long since come of age, but still looks like a teenager.We allow her to occupy as much space as she needs to produce the right amount of fruit.They have an excellent taste and enjoy us until the last days of March, and sometimes even longer.
In the fall, I feed my apple tree with a portion of cattle manure. Fungi and pests are fought at home. And so I bombard aphids with nettle macerate, and treat all infections with a decoction of horsetail or chamomile.
I must point out right away that I use ecological spraying prophylactically, because I think that when it comes to our he alth - prevention is better than cure.During the season I strengthen the tree with foliar dilution 1:10 with liquid manure and nettle.
I regularly prune the twigs, thanks to which in May they are covered with lots of flowers. The petals of their skirts delight the eyes and give nectar to guest insects.At the end of May, green buds of fruit appear in place of the flowers.If there are too many of them, they should be thinned. Thanks to this, apples that ripen later will be more attractive.
In autumn, when the gilded leaves fall, browned fruits are waiting on the tree to be harvested, which, when placed on a shelf in a dark cellar room, retain their color, taste and he althy appearance until the aforementioned date.
