FRUIT TREES !, Annual work calendar

April 8, 2020

Knowing the ideal moment in which to carry out the sowing, pruning, fertilization, pest management or harvesting of our fruit trees will guarantee that our trees are large, sweet and in abundance.

In general, fruit planting is done in spring,

although some of them can be sown in the autumn because they are highly frost resistant plants such as pear, peach, plum or apple.

Fertilization is the next step once we have planted our fruit trees.

A good supply of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium will guarantee that this small plant grows properly. Then we will continue with a maintenance fertilization every year, ending the spring

The maintenance pruning will guarantee a good flowering and fruit filling,

It is for this reason that a good time to do them is during the months of January and February, waiting for the arrival of spring. It is important to guarantee good healing to prevent the entry of diseases into our fruit trees.

We must be aware of pests and diseases,

During the months of July and August different insects and birds will begin to attack, if the trees already have fruit. Some diseases will manifest in the spring and fall so we must be alert.

The harvesting of fruits will be done in different months of the year,

according to the fruit you have. Although it is mostly harvested in June and July, some fruit trees such as citrus fruits can be harvested in January and February.

Having tall, leafy fruit trees in our garden that bear much fruit will depend on the quality of the seedlings we plant and the care we take with them at different stages of growth.
