Apple

Apple growing is an expensive and long-term investment. In this regard, growers should not make serious mistakes when setting up a garden. Mistakes made in vegetable growing can be corrected after one season, but since the commercial life of an apple tree is 30-50 years, very good planning should be done when setting up a garden and the mistake should not be challenged.

Future success largely depends on the choice of the appropriate place. Apple orchards in pits or low areas surrounded by slopes or hills are negatively affected by both late spring frosts and severe winter cold. Slightly inclined plots with a flat bottom to allow cold air flow are very suitable for a garden location.

The apple orchard should be installed on slightly higher places of the land at hand. This allows a good air flow to be provided. Such a place both reduces the risk of late spring frosts and has a preventive effect on the spread of fungal diseases. In places where the winter is severe, the importance of the trend is very great in terms of protection from late spring frosts. In such places, trees in slightly inclined areas are not damaged by frost, but trees on flat ground are significantly damaged. The temperature difference between two points 100 m apart with a height difference of 1 m each on the frosty nights of spring is 2.5-3°C. Dec. In places where winter frosts are a factor, it is necessary to choose protected batter places from the prevailing winds. Although the hills above are less susceptible to frost damage than the Declivity places, the temperature difference between the two points of strength that damage the trees to the fruit may be affected by the winds. Places with a tendency to the south accelerate the development of buds in spring, while places with a tendency to the north delay.
