Care of the garden so that it was fruitful
The guarantee of a good harvest is the correct assessment of the plot under the fruit garden, proper laying and regular maintenance.
Initially, it is important to determine the mechanical composition of the soil in your area by inviting a specialist or by carefully studying this matter.
Analysis
Too heavy or, conversely, light soils must be cultivated, and preferably not only within the landing pit. Acidic soils are very common, but they are unsuitable for the orchard.
It usually requires liming, because most fruit likes neutral and slightly alkaline soils.
Perhaps everyone knows that the place under the orchard should be protected from strong winds, well lit. All fruit trees are photophilous, only some shrubs are well-fruit only in the penumbra.
The level of groundwater is also important. For example, the pear and apple on the seed root have a deep root system, and for them the groundwater should be deeper than 2,5 m from the soil surface. But slaboroslye apple, cherry and plum will grow perfectly, even if the water is up to the level of 1,5 m.

Your choice
In accordance with the site conditions, choose suitable species and varieties, do not forget about the need for trees in cross pollination. This means that there should be enough space in the garden for at least two trees of the same culture. In cross-pollination, the yield is significantly increased even in varieties with high self-fertility.
Flowering
Bad flowering and fruiting of fruit trees can be due to various reasons. Most often these are winter damages or frosts, because of which the flower buds die
Fruit tree should have a well-developed root system, capable of providing it with food and water, or the flowers become sterile, and attack diseases and pests. Therefore, experienced gardeners always talk about the selection of resistant varieties and timely regular treatments.
Deficiency of nutrients adversely affects the yield, so it is important to make fertilizer timely.
Immediately after flowering it is useful to make nitrogen fertilizing to reduce the fall of the ovaries, repeat it in 7-10 days. Since the middle of the summer, complex fertilizers with the predominance of phosphorus-potassium component for the best bookmark of flower buds have been introduced. This feeding also contributes to the preparation of trees for the winter. Plants that are short of batteries, not to a blossoming blossom.

Trimming
Pruning is very important for the formation of the right crown, stimulating fruiting and distributing the load of the tree with fruits. The basic pruning of fruit trees is carried out in the early spring. During the whole summer, it is possible to bend vertically growing branches, as well as to ring thick branches. These techniques stimulate the laying of flower buds.

And how is the branching of branches carried out?
For which trees and on which branches is it better to do this?
Thank you

I'm a beginner gardener, so many concepts and terms are incomprehensible to me. Here, for example, what is ringing? Is this technique possible to accelerate and increase fruiting?

Banding is an agrotechnical technique applied to fruit trees to cause them to tighten flower buds. Banding is carried out only on strong fatliquoring plants, mainly apple trees. This method does not help pear and pitted, but harms more. It can be produced only on secondary branches and in no case can be done on the skeletal branches of the crown, as the whole plant will weaken.
On the branches remove the strip of bark along the ring, in a spiral. Place the cut with a varnish and tie with polyethylene or tape. As a result of the ringing, the outflow of sugars from the leaves to the roots stops. This method stimulates the laying of flower buds and accelerates the onset of fruiting.
