Apple trees are one of the most popular garden trees. But growing them in such a way that they always produce a large harvest of fruit is difficult. It is also possible that the plant does not bear the long-awaited apples for several years. At the same time, all the rules of agricultural technology can be followed. For this reason, summer residents resort to some tricks to get fruits. And that is why they use the shocking method.

Details

This method was widely known in the old days. It is believed that it was used by our grandfathers, when they forced the plant to undergo stress in order to provide themselves with a rich harvest.

It all works quite simply.

You need to drive a rusty nail into the apple tree. This will push the tree to bear fruit.

Then you can remove the nail, and in this case, the puncture site should be covered with garden pitch so that the infection does not get into the trunk and ruin the plant.

It is worth adding that this method is also used for other fruit trees. For example, for pears.
