Many people wonder why one year the branches of apple trees are bursting with fruit, and the next year the tree does not produce a single apple?
In fact, the reason lies in one feature, and it often does not depend on the skill of the gardener himself.
It's time to find out why the apple tree may be capricious.
Why do apple trees bear fruit every other year?
Gardeners believe that a healthy tree should bear fruit every year. In fact, it is often necessary to skip a year, since the year after the fruitful one, you may not see any apples.
This happens for the following reasons, and neither the age nor the variety of the apple tree usually affects crop failure.
The whole point is that the tree spends a huge amount of resources on fruiting. Consequently, the plant constantly experiences a shortage of nutrients.
Therefore, if you want to get a year-round harvest, apple trees need to be constantly fed. They need three main microelements, such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
