How to Care For a Fruit Tree
Fruit trees are wonderful to grow in your backyard. However, they require more attention than other plants. They also face a variety of problems. Thankfully, there are a few simple tips you can follow to help ensure your tree is healthy and productive.
Dormant Stage
During the winter months, most fruit trees go into a dormant stage. This is a time when they need a lot of water and light. If they don’t get these things, they may die.
Promoting Growth
In the summer, fruit trees have extra sunlight to promote growth. It’s also a good time to protect them from disease and pests. You can do this by pruning away dead, broken, or diseased branches.
Leaving a small amount of space between branches will help strengthen their angles. You can achieve this by bracing branches away from the trunk with wooden clothespins or fishing lines with weights tied to the ends of the smaller branches.
Mulching a Tree
You can also mulch around the base of the tree. This will protect the soil and increase the health of the tree. Materials you can use include wood chips, compost, or pine needles.
Watering Plants
Watering is important in the early morning. The earlier you water, the more efficiently your plant can use the water. A hose can sit at the base of the tree for about 10 minutes to provide the moisture it needs.
Cleaning Fungal Issues
Keeping the leaves clean will prevent fungal issues. It’s also a good idea to burn leaves if you see signs of fungal infestation.
