The explanation why the apple tree bears fruit in a year

Hello, my favorite readers!

Did you notice the impermanence of apple? In my region, not far from Moscow it happens all the time. One year to keep pace with the fall of almost isolated apples. And the next at the end of summer tree sprinkled with fruit. Gardeners have to endlessly twist compotes and jams, dried slices, and puzzle over the question: what to do with the numerous opadyshami and to whom to foist excess 😄

If the picture is familiar to you, then I think it will be interesting to note. To understand the reason for the variability favorite fruit tree, and even find ways to collect uniform crop every year, we go for 2 minutes in the fascinating world of apple 🌳

The first is to eliminate such concepts as "fruitful" and "lean" years. Yes, the weather varies a lot. But Apple, as one of the most undemanding plants in the garden may well make even cool summer harvest.

For example, a plentiful harvest may well turn out after a cloudy and rainy season. As well as in hot summer harvest will be meager. The alternation of "crop" and "crop failure" of apples remains unchanged. What, then, influences?

An important exception: Return frozen. Yes, sometimes the nature puts a grower pig as a night setback. When the temperature drops below -1--3 ° C, die flowers and young ovaries.

The reason for the alternation of crops and crop failure apple lies in a combination of two things:

• flower buds (and hence resource for harvest next year) are laid on a tree in the middle of summer, around July
• on the other hand - the presence of pests, the act or omission of the owner of the garden

Meet this - apple blossom weevil, also known as weevils. If he lives in a garden, in early summer, it is able to destroy a large number of flowers and ovaries.

What happens to an apple tree? At this point the tree "understands": this year already have no chance. And doubly trying to lay the huge number of flower buds for the next year to make up for losses in this.

Pruning can provide invaluable assistance to the garden. But the owner of the garden, taking in hand pruner without knowledge of the case, without knowing it can leave yourself without crop.

As we already know, an apple-tree flower bud develops by July. If the second half of the summer to carry out a radical pruning and cut a lot of young twigs, and then crop the next year will not be.

But we all considered special cases. And now - about how it happens without intervention weevil and too active person.

In our country it is not accepted as something to take care of the apple trees, fertilize and water them. Grows well? It is growing. And since fruiting in two years.

So often the apple does not get as much nutrients as it needs. By July, when both ovaries swell and flower buds are formed in front of the tree gets a choice: either one or the sho. As a result of the current apple knocks the ovary to the following year normally otplodonosivshie.

And every gardener can make a difference by making uniform crops every year to shoot the apples:

• think about tree care, so that the plants were forces at work on two fronts;
• each at the beginning of the summer to remove half of the ovaries.
