Apple tree planting method

1. Soil selection: apples have high requirements for light. Choosing soil suitable for apple tree growth, such as slightly acidic or neutral soil with deep soil layer, rich organic matter and strong drainage ability, can improve apple yield.

2. Fertilization management: After the fruit is picked in autumn every year, the soil under the apple trees should be deeply turned, then ditches with a width of 40cm and a height of 60cm should be dug, and organic fertilizer 100-200 kg should be applied under each tree.

Matters needing attention in apple tree planting

1. Moisture: Generally, precipitation in rainy season can meet the water demand of apple trees, but if there is too much precipitation, the roots will be soaked and the roots will not grow normally, so attention should be paid to drainage measures in rainy season.

2. Lighting: Apple trees have high requirements for lighting. Only when the light is sufficient can the apple trees grow normally, and if the light time is increased properly, the photosynthesis will be strengthened. If the illumination time is insufficient, the flowering and fruit setting rate of apple trees will decrease.
