How to feed apple and pear in autumn
Fertilizing vegetables and fruits takes an important place in gardening. So, today we will focus on what is the best way to feed the apple and pear in the fall for better wintering and a rich harvest. Undoubtedly, there are many options for feeding, but certain ones must be chosen.
Autumn is popularly considered the foundation of a stable and fruitful garden. As a result, at this time it is worth providing fertile trees with nutrients, and most importantly, to cope with the coming frosts.
Cleaning
Before fertilizing, the trees should be put in order. It is necessary to clean the trunks and branches of trees from moss or lichen, if any. The next step is to cut off old and dry branches. Ideally, trees should be treated with a special environment to prevent mold and fungal diseases. The trunks are whitewashed after the antiseptic has dried.
Fertilizer for apple and pear
So, with the onset of autumn, fruit trees, in particular pear and apple trees, require a large amount of phosphorus and potassium. Therefore, focus on this particular group of fertilizers when choosing.
For an apple tree, it is best to use 5 kg of organic fertilizers, 10 g of potash or 50 g of superphosphate. It is best to apply this kind of fertilizer gently underground to a shallow depth (up to about 50 cm). It is noteworthy that this should be done over the entire projection area of the tree crown.
At the same time, a different method must be used to fertilize the pear, because it can be fed with wood ash. For each square meter of digging near a tree, it is necessary to evenly distribute 150 grams of ash. This top dressing can be used for young or mature trees. The ash distribution depth should not exceed 5 cm.
Thus, it is advisable to water the trees abundantly before feeding, and then dig up the soil.
