- An annual seedling is cut up to 5 kidneys immediately after landing. IMPORTANT - SCREE MUST STATEMENTS AND ONLY ON THE KILK, and not under it. Already by autumn under the cut line, side shoots are formed, of which the first row of young branches will be formed.
- In the second year of life, the apple tree needs to leave only the main conductor and 4 main branches growing at a distance of at least 15-20 cm. The remaining dry and thickening tree shoots are deleted. The ends of the remaining twigs are shortened by 1/3.
- In the spring of the third year, 2 skeletal branches will appear on the first tier, they must be saved, only slightly cutting into the level with the rest. If the vertex of the conductor has time to acquire the increase, it is neatly removed. The rest of the formation is reduced to pruning competing branches, weak escapes and a decrease in the length of the main.
- On the fourth year, 2 tiers will acquire another skeletal branch, it must be equalized to the rest. At this stage, the creation of a discharge-long crown is considered complete.
After 1-2 years, the tree must be stopped in growth, for this, the central conductor must be completely removed at the level of the upper branch.
How to form an asshole apple tree crown
