The fruits of one of my columnar plums at the beginning of August became enormous.
Last year, the columnar plum did not produce a single plum, and this year such a feast.
In the video I explain why this happened.
In total, as you know, I have 4 columnar plums in my garden. And of different varieties, which is good news.
A couple of weeks ago, on the tenth of July, I poured very abundantly on the columnar plum mentioned in the video. I watered it for about two and a half hours, and the water flowed with a very weak pressure. And it reached the smallest roots at a depth of about a meter exactly.
And I fed her with two more tablespoons of Fertika spring-summer.
So the tree responded to such care of her and the fruits immediately increased in size, and noticeably. so the secret is simple. Watering should be very abundant, but not frequent. Transfusion is also undesirable.
Once again, the columnar plum is a very unpretentious fruit tree.
And if you process it from aphids in May, water and feed it during the growing season, then it will invariably thank you with an excellent harvest.
It is a pleasure to grow a columnar plum in the garden.
Columnar varieties of plums have almost no side branches, therefore, as a rule, they do not require pruning. In addition to the central twig, there are so-called spears - processes of 2-15 cm, pointed in shape and ringlets - short (1-4 cm) with annual rings and a central kidney. It is these formations that are the basis of the future harvest. With proper care, the columnar plum is abundantly hung with numerous large fruits by autumn.
Saplings of columnar plums, although expensive, pay off quickly within 3 years. Such a seedling begins to bloom in the first year, and bears fruit the next, within 16-18 years. Then the yield drops sharply and the tree requires replacement, although it can continue to grow in the garden, but already as a decorative one.
Pruning of columnar plums is usually not carried out, however, if the apical bud of the central shoot is damaged, then one side is left and is already carried out as the central one.
There are not so many varieties of columnar plums, there are only two main ones:
Blue Sweet - medium ripening period, up to 2 m in height, crown diameter - 0.7-0.9 m. High-yielding, with large (up to 70 g) purple fruits. Frost resistant.
Imperial - characterized by a more delicate taste than Blue Sweet. Medium growth, high yield and frost resistance, but requires more watering. Fruits - juicy up to 60 g.
Enjoy your viewing and rich harvests.
