different soils, but it is better to plant them on well aerated,
fertile areas, but they do not develop well on high
acidity.

The tree is windy and drought resistant, at the place of cultivation
it is necessary to avoid soil salinization and moisture stagnation, on a suitable
plot seedlings develop very quickly. Unsuitable for
planting apricot lowlands, where cold air stagnates.

The place is chosen well lit by the sun during the day – apricot
for the season should get the maximum amount of heat, it will give
opportunity to survive them winter without problems.

Terms of planting apricot

Like other stone fruits, plant apricots better.
in the spring, before buds begin to swell (this period in most
regions comes in April). When autumn planting, seedlings often
perish from a frost, especially if there is a little snow, because of
poor root development.

How to choose a seedling

For planting, annual plants with lateral
sprigs that are evenly distributed along the trunk. Not worth it
plant seedlings with sharp angles of discharge and shoots
formed from contiguous buds. Such branches may subsequently
break off under the weight of the fruit that can cause death
trees.

Planting and care

Scheme of planting culture – 5 x5 m, 2-3 weeks before disembarkation
Plants need to prepare a planting hole, they dig it 60-80 cm
width and 40-50 cm deep, fill it with fertile soil, with
fertilizers (500 g of superphosphate, 400 g of potassium sulfate and 1 bucket
manure). Root plant neck when planting can not be powdered
soil, it should be 5-7 cm above the soil (when watering the soil
slightly settles, as a result, the root neck will fall to the required
level).

After planting the seedlings need to make a hole for watering.
put a small roller around the circumference, then pour it well (on
1 plant at least 1 bucket of water). Even if it rains or
it will be cold weather, water, planted seedling must be
– wet soil well eliminates cavities formed between
roots, which significantly improves the survival rate of the plant.

Apricot Care

The first 2 years, pristvolny circle needs to be mulched
manure, rotten sawdust, or peat. Important carefully and often
loosen the ground in the wheel circle, not allowing to form
soil crust, and grow weeds. Further care consists
from fertilizing seedlings and watering.

It is not necessary to form the crown of an apricot seedling, it
formed independently. In the early years, an apricot planted in
suitable place and with good care is able to grow more than
1 m during the season. So that individual branches do not grow bare,
they are shortened by 1/3 of the length. After the appearance of the fruit active growth
the tree subsides. After this, it will only be necessary to trim
injured and dry branches.

Watering apricots

Although this culture is drought resistant, but still growing
Apricot is difficult without regular watering. The tree suffers greatly
dry wind and air that does not contain moisture.

The first time to water the plant – you need as early as possible, its
carried out before the formation of inflorescences.

It has a beneficial effect on the development of apricot, increases
the number of leaves and ovaries, forms the necessary reserve
moisture.

Another watering is needed immediately after flowering.

It improves the filling of fruits and accelerates their ripening, improves their
taste, promotes the accumulation of sugars.

The last watering is carried out in the second decade of August.

For apricots do not require autumn and podzimny irrigation – he
will increase the vegetation period of the plant, the shoots will not have time to fully
get enough sleep and the tree does not have time to prepare for wintering.

Apricot cultivation will be successful if properly care for
seedlings in time to feed them.

Apricot feed

Apricot grows quickly and bears fruit well, if there is
The required number of macro and micronutrients.

It is only necessary to take into account that nitrogen (especially if it is in
excess amount) will increase the growing season, potassium will reduce it,
phosphorus activates the formation of flower buds.

If you feed the plant with a nitrogen-phosphorus mixture, the ovaries on
branches will be more.

Phosphate-potassium supplement reduces the acidity of the soil, increases
the amount of vitamins, and makes better coloring of the fruit.

It is advisable to hold 3 minerals during the warm period.
top dressing, in the first decade of June – compounds containing nitrogen, in
the first decade of July – compounds containing nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus
(nitroammofoska will do), in the first decade of August – with compositions
containing potassium and phosphorus, nitrogen at this time to give plants
can not.

fruits ripen, they are well washed and, without drying, sown in
priming. The bed with crops in the summer and autumn is watered regularly. In the autumn
bones are planted until October 10, so do not have to store bones
in the fridge or wet sand. You can dry them a little in

For sowing seeds in spring, you must first
stratify. To do this, they are soaked March 4-10 for 4-5 days,
every day, changing the water. After that, the seeds are poured important
sand (1: 3) and wrapped in plastic, the package is placed on the shelf
in the fridge. Preparation of seeds lasts 40-100 days, in
depending on their maturity and variety. During this time bone
cracks, and the seedling begins to make its way, at this time their
need to be planted in the ground. If they hatch too early, then they
must be moved to a place where the temperature is maintained from 0
to minus 2 degrees.

Sowing apricot seeds
