Spring is the time when plants revive, so it is necessary to fertilize the plants well starting in early spring so that they will have sufficient fertilizer to grow, reproduce and bear fruit in the new year.

How to water apricot trees

Try not to water the apricot tree before it blooms and bears fruit in spring. If you water it at this time, it is likely to cause the fruits to crack and fall.

Pest and disease control of apricot trees

The main approach to controlling pests and diseases of apricot trees is prevention and control, so in terms of pest and disease control, pay attention to pruning the branches of the plant in early spring, and then apply sufficient basal fertilizer.
