This gives the tree the necessary energy for flowering and fruit set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to apply the apricot fertilizer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the growing season from March to September, we recommend fertilizing every 2 weeks. This ensures a continuous supply of nutrients, which is especially important during fruit development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the fertilizer for other fruit trees as well?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the fertilizer is excellent for other stone fruit trees such as peaches, nectarines, plums, and cherries. The NPK formula 6.5-4.5-6.8 is optimally tailored to the needs of fruit trees in the Rosaceae family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy do the small fruits fall off after flowering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA certain amount of fruit drop (June drop) is natural. However, excessive dropping can indicate a nutrient deficiency (especially boron or zinc), lack of water, or late frosts during flowering. Our fertilizer effectively prevents nutrient deficiencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the fertilizer help against frost damage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe high potassium content (K) in our fertilizer strengthens the cell walls and increases the salt concentration in the cell sap. This acts like a natural antifreeze and significantly improves the winter hardiness of the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShould I still fertilize after the harvest?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, fertilizing after the harvest (until September at the latest) is very important. During this time, the tree stores reserve substances for the next year and forms the flower buds for the coming spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the fertilizer chloride-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, our fertilizer is chloride-free. Fruit trees are sensitive to chloride, which can lead to leaf edge necrosis and root damage. Our chloride-free formula protects your apricot tree from this damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I also use the fertilizer for foliar feeding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, for supplementary foliar feeding, use 1-2 ml per 1 liter of water. However, do not spray during flowering or when the fruits are already ripening to avoid spotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow economical is one bottle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 250ml bottle yields up to 50 liters of ready-to-use solution at the recommended dosage of 5ml per 1 liter. This is enough for several applications on a medium-sized tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to fertilize in winter too?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, in winter the apricot tree is in its resting phase and does not need fertilizer. Stop fertilizing by the end of September at the latest so the shoots can mature before the frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix the fertilizer with tap water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the fertilizer can easily be mixed with tap water. Apricot trees generally tolerate calcareous water very well, as they prefer a neutral to slightly alkaline soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Chelate Technology?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Chelate Technology, trace elements such as iron, boron, and zinc are embedded in a special organic shell. This keeps them available to plants even at varying pH levels in the soil and prevents them from being fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly will I see results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst visible improvements often appear after just 2-3 weeks in the form of stronger, dark green foliage. You will experience the full effect on fruit size and taste at the next harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I overdose the fertilizer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with all fertilizers, the recommended dosage should be followed. Overdosing, especially with nitrogen, can lead to excessive shoot growth at the expense of fruit formation and reduce frost hardiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the fertilizer suitable for dwarf apricots in pots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, absolutely. For potted plants, regular liquid fertilization is even more important, as the nutrients in the limited substrate are quickly depleted. Stick to the dosage of 5ml per 1 liter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store the fertilizer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore the fertilizer in a dry, dark place at temperatures between +8°C and +40°C. When stored properly, it remains effective for several years without quality loss. Diluted fertilizer solution should be used promptly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the NPK value of 6.5-4.5-6.8 optimal for apricots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApricots need nitrogen (N) for growth, but not too much, so the shoots can mature. Phosphorus (P) is important for flowering, and the high potassium content (K) is crucial for fruit quality, sweetness, and frost hardiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the fertilizer for freshly planted trees?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWait about 4-6 weeks after planting before starting to fertilize so the tree can form roots first. Then begin with half the dosage (2.5ml per 1 liter) for the first year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the fertilizer help against Monilia blossom blight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fertilizer is not a plant protection product against fungal diseases. However, an optimally nourished, vital tree is generally more resistant to infections. An airy, rain-protected location is also important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow large does an apricot tree grow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepending on the variety and rootstock, an apricot tree in the garden usually grows 4 to 8 meters high. It can also be kept smaller through regular pruning. Dwarf forms for pots only grow to about 1.5 meters high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is chloride-free fertilizer so important for fruit trees?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChloride can accumulate in the soil and lead to leaf edge necrosis, root damage, and reduced yield. Fruit trees are often sensitive to chloride. Our chloride-free fertilizer avoids these risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I also use the fertilizer for espalier fruit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the fertilizer is excellent for apricots grown as an espalier against a warm house wall. Especially there, nutrient supply is important for a rich harvest in a small space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I recognize nutrient deficiency in my apricot tree?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypical signs include: pale, yellowish leaves (nitrogen or iron deficiency), poor fruit set or dropping fruits (boron deficiency), and small, less aromatic fruits (potassium deficiency).
