If the apple tree does not bear fruit for a long time - pruning + pollination
HOW TO MAKE (ASK) APPLE TREES TO BEAR FRUIT!
I grow a little of everything. But the area is small, and there is nowhere to turn around. But in the village, a loved one has a huge plot of land - he is a garden, he is a garden, he is also a meadow.
Let's talk about apple trees. He has three of them on his plot, but no one has ever seen fruit on them. I met them in the summer of 2018: there was a lonely red apple at the top. The trees should be bearing fruit by their age. Disorder. In autumn, having examined the apple trees, I came to the conclusion: the trees are very dense in the crown.
The leaves are dark, and the apple trees have no strength to maintain the fruits, because no one feeds them, no one waters them, they planted them and grow. But they grow beautifully, however, evenly so, they have already become young three-meter trees. But there are no fruits.
Alexander did not particularly need apples, so he did not bother with yield problems - they grow, and well. Moreover, they looked completely healthy. But I, a mother of four children, did not like this situation. The tree must bear fruit, period. A lone red apple is not a harvest for a family of 6.
After examining the trees, I was convinced that they are completely healthy, they simply do not have enough nutrition and care, especially watering.
The ground beneath them was completely dry and very, very hard. Apparently, the apple trees chose everything they could from the soil, but no one bothered to feed them.
So, in the fall of 2018, having examined the crown (it was already October), I handed Sasha a hacksaw and told him: “Choose. Or leaves, or fruits. The tree simply does not have enough strength to bear fruit, there are a lot of leaves and branches.” He took a hacksaw and, under my strict guidance, began to remove unnecessary skeletal branches. There were no more leaves, everything was clearly visible. You should have seen how it all happened...
He almost cried, asked to leave branches for the birds, but I was adamant. “Cut,” I said, “do not be sorry. We need to thin out the crown." Well, she said a lot of other clever phrases. And how else to explain to the common man that pruning is essential? What do we need not leaves, but apples?
Crowns noticeably emptied, brightened, leveled off. The trees became beautiful, even - we left about 2/3 of all the branches, removed a third, smearing the cuts with garden pitch. Then I diluted a glass of urea in one and a half liters of water and generously sprayed the branches, the trunk and the entire crown - from scab, diseases, pests, and again top dressing. At home, for many years now, I have been spraying all the trees in the fall with a 10% solution of urea, and no one is sick with anything.
Having done all the necessary things, we returned to the house. Alexander walked with a downcast look, not understanding why all this ...

HARVEST APPLES - AT LEAST HAVE MORE!
The winter has passed. In the spring, the apple trees woke up, bloomed, but then the problem arose again: there were no bees. Trees are buried in flowers, and not even a single random bee is missing. But I think that I, perhaps, will not find bees ... A jar of old honey was found in the house, I diluted it a little in a one and a half liter bottle and simply sprayed the flowers.
Mom dear, who just didn’t fly in! True, there were no bees, but it was full of bumblebees and wasps, and even flies. They all began to buzz loudly over the flowers, which means that things have gone well, we will not be left without a harvest.
I sprayed the plum with the rest of the solution - let it be pollinated. And that also does not give anything - they say they even forgot what kind of tree grows. Well, that's all. Even in the summer I forced to water when it's dry.
There were a lot of apples, but part of the apple tree dropped - apparently, there is still not enough food in the ground. But even what has grown was enough for all of us in abundance. The apples turned out to be autumnal, sweet and sour, red, and kept very well. The other apple tree was also good - apples with a yellow side, great taste. Fed up from the heart.
Everyone was surprised that these apple trees gave a harvest. And who did everything right? ME: Why? But because I love to read J. In the village they began to consider me almost an agronomist, but I just love to read. Here's the story.
Last year, our apple trees rested, there were only three apples. But we were not offended by them: let them rest, gain strength. I also arranged small compost heaps under them - I just put the weeded grass under the trees, and they themselves extract all the useful substances from it.
This year I want to put more liquid top dressing - drip irrigation for each, but this is still ahead. In short, I ran to spray them, otherwise the harvest itself does not happen without care.
I wish you health and harvests in our difficult, oh what a difficult time, now it is very necessary!
