An important feature of a good tree is the presence of foliage.

In the case of an open root system, it is necessary to process the latter by means of clay and ash, which are previously diluted in water in a ratio of 1: 2. Through the resulting substance cover the roots of the seedling.

Step-by-step process of planting seedlings

For the proper landing of the pear "Abbot Vettel" should follow a certain action sequences:

  1. Initially, a pit is prepared, which is 1 m deep and 80 cm in diameter.
  2. The distance between seedlings should be at least 5 m.
  3. For the root collar to linger on the surface, it is necessary to form a small earthen hill in the pit.
  4. In the already formed hill it is necessary to inject the roots of the plant (the seedling must remain in the center of the hole).
  5. By means of the substrate, the compaction and the further formation of the hole (the circle of a circle) occurs, which is edged by a small shaft of earth.
  6. The hole needs to be filled with 4-5 buckets of water.

Do not use plastic materials that are not capable of passing air.

Initially, you should remove about 60% of the buds, and then just thin out the greenfinch. Since the variety is drought resistant, irrigation should occur in moderate mode. A weekly seedling requires up to 10 liters of water, while an adult tree should be watered three or four times throughout the growing season.

In the conditions of freezing of shoots there is a large number of tops that need to be removed. Tops, which remained, will bear fruit only if they are set in a horizontal position. Once every few years it is necessary to make a rejuvenating pruning. This will regulate the growth of the crown of the tree. All old shoots and branches that grow inside the tree must also be removed. After carrying out all the procedures for the extraction and pruning of branches, the place of cut must be processed by means of a garden warrior.
