Can fruit trees be watered during flowering period?

1. Whether watering is possible

Usually, fruit trees are not watered during their flowering period. If the soil is very dry, you can water them slightly, but never water them too heavily. Also, the amount of watering should not be too much, otherwise the flowers will fall off. If you water too much, all the flowers on the tree may fall off.

You can water the fruit trees before they bloom. Watering them about a week before flowering will not affect normal flowering and fruit setting. When the fruit trees are in the flowering stage, it is best not to water them or fertilize them, which can greatly improve the fruit bearing rate and quality.

2. Maintenance during flowering period

1. Flower thinning: From the beginning to the end of the flowering period of fruit trees, it is necessary to thin the inflorescences, and also remove the side flowers next to the inflorescences, leaving only one side flower and a central flower in an inflorescence. If there are not many flowers, you can appropriately postpone the time of thinning the flowers.

2. Disease prevention: There will be diseases and pests when the fruit is blooming. Once discovered, use medicine immediately or capture them. If not handled in time, the number of fruits produced by fruit trees will be significantly reduced.
