Bitch apple trees in the crown are laid in two to four tiers. And this is her whole life. The main problem is the prevention of competitors in a tree. They spoil or destroy the apple tree, very often breaking off. They move at an acute angle from the barrel and cause clamps of the bark and the weak attachment of the verticals to the tree.
Branches should be strong and grow at an angle from 50 to 70 degrees. In order not to expose the tree of the fragments of branches-verticals, they need to be strongly shortened and, thus, weaken overloads.
The lower tier of the branches should be wider and longer than the second, and it is longer than the third. A correctly formed tree, it should be like a hut.
The first tier begins to form circumcision when the seedlings rose to a height of 50-60 centimeters. The same thing is done with the formation of the second and third tiers, cutting off the central conductor.
An adult apple tree should have a flattened, wide and low crown. This will facilitate harvesting, as well as trimming a tree. The use of chemicals is necessary, since there are a lot of pests.
A properly formed crown, should have a height of bitch up to three meters. To do this, the central conductor (leader) should be cut at a height of 2-2.5 meters. Subsequent vertical branches must be cut completely. This work can be done in June. Such a tree will grow only on the sides, and the upper crown will be flat. If the crown has an equal competitor to the leader, then it should be loosened by cutting it strongly, approximately 1-1.2 meters. This operation will protect the tree from the fault of the barrel later.
Removing fruiting branches will not lead to a decrease in the crop. This will become possible due to larger apples that will grow on the remaining branches, since all nutrients will go to them. Improving the commodity type and taste will become possible and due to the relief and lightening of the crown of the tree.
Flat crowns have long been formed in gardens. From such trees it gathers from the ground up to 70 percent of the crop and only 30 percent from the platform or ordinary stool.
Every year new varieties of apple trees appear more and more. They are capable of fruit of the high commodity value of winter maturation. This requires changing the culture of growing.
It includes, first of all, the formation of flat and low shapes of the crown of trees, planting new varieties of apple trees, the use of low -toxic chemicals for humans.
