Why an apple tree doesn't grow after four years: these are the mistakes many people make
Summer residents and gardeners often encounter problems, the causes of which they may not know.
One of the most common problems is the slowdown or complete cessation of apple tree growth.
Let's figure out what reasons could lead to this.
Why the apple tree does not grow
One of the main reasons is that the variety is not intended for your latitude. That is, if a seedling is bought in the south, it will grow very poorly in the middle zone, and you may not get any fruit from it at all.
The second reason is that the groundwater is too close. This level should not exceed three meters, otherwise you will have to prune and grow the fruit tree as a compact plant up to 2.5 meters tall.
Thirdly, the plant may lack nitrogen, since this element is responsible for the growth of green mass.
Incorrect pruning also slows down the growth of the fruit tree, so it is important to do it on time and in compliance with all the rules.
