    In the garden grow 2 apricot tree, im for 6 years. Before this season there were no fruits at all, although the trees bloomed well. This year there were fruits only on one tree. Apricots are almost ripe, but began to crumble. Only touch the branches - they immediately fall to the ground. What is the reason?

      Grafted varietal apricot seedlings enter fruiting at 3-4 year after planting. The trees growing in your garden are propagated, apparently, by sowing apricot seeds. In this case, the first fruiting at the 6 year is quite common.
      And as for fruits - even varietal apricots tend to crumble at the beginning of ripening. It is helped by hot dry weather. By the way, the fruits of apricot, which have fallen off at the beginning of ripening, ripen well within a week, without losing taste qualities.

      Svetlana. Try feeding your trees with dolomite flour. Make a groove around your trees 1 meter away from the trunk 10 cm deep and wide. Pour about 3-4 handfuls of dolomite into the groove. flour (this is Ca – calcium and its deficiency provokes shedding of fruits on stone fruits) and pour this groove with 2-3 buckets of water. This should be done in April - in May.

    Apricot is dying!
    For about 20 years I have been growing apricot. With the exception of the first three seasons, he bore fruit abundantly annually. All this time, all sorts of ailments and pests bypassed him, and then noticed that most of the fruits, barely yellowing, dry out. Moreover, they hold tight on the branches - literally have to peel off. Tell me what happened to the apricot? Is it a disease or malnutrition? Can anyone help him?
