Can I water my apple tree when it's blooming?

Watering the blossoming apple tree

It is best to stop watering apple trees during their flowering period, because the climate and temperature are still unstable at this time. Watering at this time will lower the temperature of the soil, which can easily cause frost damage to the plants and cause flower drop. Therefore, it is best to stop watering during the flowering period.

How to water apple trees during flowering period

It is best not to water the apple tree too much during the flowering period. The soil moisture content can reach about 60-70%. Follow the principle of "watering when dry and watering when wet". It is only necessary to water the tree about once every 10 days. It is best to use rainwater and well water.

Apple tree flowering period maintenance and watering

1. If you are planting apple trees in an orchard, it is best to install sprinkler and drip irrigation equipment, transport water through underground pipes, and use sprinklers to water the trees. This can save water resources and will not damage the soil structure.

2. If it is a newly purchased potted plant, it is best not to water it immediately. When watering, water the roots of the plant so that it is easier to absorb.

Fertilizing apple trees during flowering period

The flowering period of apple trees is from April to June. Generally, fertilizer is applied in early April. Fertilizer should also be applied in time after flowering. Fertilizer can be mainly nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. This can quickly replenish nutrients for the plant, improve the absorption capacity of the root system, and ensure its later flowering and fruiting.
