Why a nail driven into an apple tree gives an incredible harvest.

Apple and pear trees are the most popular fruit trees. However, it is quite difficult to grow a tree that will produce a good harvest.

Even if the seedling was purchased from a nursery, and is initially of good quality, the fruits on it will not form as actively as we would like.

In such cases, novice gardeners use all kinds of top dressing, look for flaws in caring for a tree, but in reality, all these activities also do not bring the desired result.

Experienced gardeners very often use the shock method in such cases. The standard situation is as follows: the summer resident purchased a seedling, planted it, and in the care complies with all the norms of agricultural technology.

At the same time, a young tree blooms for several years, gradually turns into an adult tree, but the fruits on it are still not tied.

And even if they are present, then in small quantities. Of course, it makes no sense at all to continue caring for the tree, since it still does not bear fruit.

At the same time, I don’t want to cut down the tree either, since several years have already been spent growing it to the age of the expected fruiting.

In this case, experienced gardeners act in a proven way. If an apple tree spends all its energy only on growth, then it must be put in stressful conditions.

The methods are as follows:
A rusty nail must be driven into the apple tree. It is noteworthy that such a method will not harm the tree, but will push it to bear fruit. It should be driven into the trunk in the selected area. Then the nail can be removed, and the puncture site can be covered with garden pitch.

Trimming is also an effective technique. This simple manipulation will also start the fruiting process. It is best to prune in the spring.

The cut sites should also be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate and an additional garden var to prevent the penetration of bacteria.

Also, sometimes plastic bottles filled with water are hung on apple trees. The fact is that when they pull the branches down, this also provokes a stressful situation for the tree.

But here you should be extremely careful not to break the branches under the weight. Also, the tree should be actively watered so that the branches do not dry out.

Each of the methods is highly effective. The choice depends purely on individual preferences.
