Since the Kurnakovskoye variety is medium tall tree, it is necessary to prepare pits with a diameter and depth of 0.7-0.8 meters, at a distance of three meters from each other.
The excavated soil is divided into two parts: soil from the bottom (let's call it soil No. 1) and soil from the surface of the pit (soil No. 2).
Perform the following steps:
- we process a hole by removing weeds;
- loosen the bottom;
- we fall asleep soil number 2;
- add to the pit manure humus, ashes and mineral fertilizers in the ratio of 1: 0.8: 1 and mix;
- falling asleep soil number 1.
Preparation of the landing pit is completed, carefully plant a seedling and tie it up to a wooden peg with a figure eight.
Tied to a peg we hold an apple tree for two years.
The next year after planting, in the spring, it is important to form the deciduous crown of an apple tree.
It is necessary to cut the ends of each branch, preferably for the first four or five years, not to give an apple to form fruits (it is necessary to pick 80-100% of flowers).
In the first year in April, trees should be irrigated with mixtures that protect against pests.
This procedure should be performed twice: when buds began to swell on the branches and before budding.
