Success factors for high yields
The amount of yield of column fruit depends on a number of different factors:
- Location
- fertilization
- Pot size (when growing as a bucket culture)
- Performing more regularly Cutting measures
Only with careful care can be taken care of accordingly tall column fruit Harvest yields that can compete with more expansive growing fruit trees.
Do not overestimate fluctuations
Column apples, in particular, tend more than conventional apple trees to sometimes strong fluctuations in yield from year to year. This can be due to a variety of factors and not least climatic conditions depend and does not necessarily have to be on incorrect fertilization or a pot that is too small be due.
Tips
When it comes to the yield of fruit trees, not only the quantity but also the quality should be decisive. Column fruit often initially sets more fruit than can fully ripen on a compact tree. Therefore, if the fruit set is particularly strong, you should remove some of the fruit in good time so that you can harvest really sweet and fully ripe fruit.
