Characteristics of the variety

A breath of wind is enough for its flowers to turn into an ovary.But return frosts at the time of flowering do not always pass without a trace for the apricot.

Enrich the soil with fresh compost, humus and superphosphate... Allow the soil mixture to soak and "mature". At this point, soil microorganisms will process all the ingredients and make them bioavailable for the tree's consumption.

The annual introduction of furnace ash into the trunk circle will provide the tree with potassium and phosphorus, which will have a beneficial effect on flowering and fruit setting.
