Care Rules
Caring for Alesya apple tree does not differ from the standard system for supporting the species in a cultivated condition. Next, we will consider all the steps that gardeners have to complete.
Pruning
The first rule is pruning branches. Alesia, like the rest of the apple trees, at a young age requires careful control over the growth of shoots and the formation of the crown of a tree. Young trees are pruned annually. This contributes to early fruiting.
Thinning of fruits and ovaries also plays an equally important role. The process of development of apples from the end of flowering to the end of the formation must be carefully monitored. Having noticed the fruit is irregular in shape or forming with defects, remove it. If the branches are too overloaded, the apples are thinned, leaving 1-2 ovaries on each of the starts.
Fertilizer
Fertilizer will not prevent apple Ales. Top dressing will ensure normal growth and good bearing fruit specimens. If you do not introduce a mineral complex and organic fertilizers, the tree will begin to lose vitality: the leaves will turn yellow and fall, and the vital activity of the plant will slow down.
Watering
Do not forget about watering. Recently planted seedlings need moisture. In the hot season they are watered 3-4 times a day, with a norm of watering 30-40 liters of water per unit. When the fruits begin to ripen on the branches, frequent watering is stopped to preserve the integrity of the apples. For the winter, apple trees grow and mulch humus. This will help the seedlings more easily survive the cold season and resume their development by spring.
