Handling apples after blooming

Apple watering should be increased during the blooming period to meet the large amount of water needed for flowering. However, watering is not required during the flowering period. After the apple blossom period, a large number of flowers bloom with good and bad quality. Timely pruning of some not-so-good or too-small flowers will ensure adequate nutrition. Pay attention to hand pollination and bee pollination after entering the flowering period. If you do not don't pay attention to pollination, it will directly affect the final harvest. Be sure to fertilize your apples during the flowering stage. Fertilize properly and wait until the soil is poor.
