WHAT TO DO IF THE TREES FLOWER AND THERE ARE NO FRUITS

Often, after the flowers have fallen off, you can find that there are very few fruits, or even none at all. What is the reason?

RETURN FREEZES

Fruit trees often suffer from recurrent frosts. Low temperatures kill the pistils first. And without them, the fruits will not be tied. If before the cold snap you did not take any measures (smoking, sprinkling, shelter) - draw the appropriate conclusions.

HEAVY RAIN

Heavy rains or hail, accompanied by gusty winds, can contribute to the loss of flowers and, as a result, the loss of the crop. Of course, it will not work to protect the garden from the natural elements.

INCORRECT FERTILIZATION

Strictly adhere to the norms and terms of fertilization! An undernourished tree will spend all its strength on flowering, and then, exhausted, will drop flowers. And even if the ovaries appear, the plant will still not be able to give good fruits. And vice versa, with an excess of nutrition, the tree fattens and, instead of abundant fruiting, grows a powerful crown.

MOISTURE DEFICIENCY

Another reason for the lack of ovaries in fruit trees is the lack of moisture. Usually during the summer it is enough to water the garden 3-4 times, and in dry weather - at least 5 times.

The water rate varies depending on the age of the tree (per plant):

1. seedling - 30-50 l;
2. 3_5_year-old trees - 50-80 l;
3. 7-12 year olds - 120-150 liters;
4. more adults - 30-50 liters per 1 sq.m of the trunk circle.

NO POLLINATION

If your garden consists mainly of self-fertile varieties, then having a pollinator pair for each plant is not a guarantee of a rich harvest. You need to take care of attracting beneficial insects - bees, bumblebees or butterflies. For example, experienced gardeners spray trees with honey water during flowering (2 tablespoons of honey per 5 liters of water).
