The Institute of Agriculture in Kyustendil offers planting material

Experts remind that trees take root better in autumn than in spring. And low winter temperatures are actually beneficial – first they provoke trees to set more fruit buds and also kill pests that overwinter on the trees, as well as treat various diseases. The recommendation is to rely on more resilient trees, such as apples, for example, and generally on late varieties. It is important to know that peaches and cherries are more demanding in terms of care.

Climate change in recent years has also had a very negative impact on fruit trees, and the adverse effects of frosts and late spring freezes in April this year destroyed the fruit harvest in many places. The advice of the institute's specialists is for farmers' attention to focus on the long-term health of the trees. Consultation with a pomology specialist can be of significant benefit in applying the best practices according to specific conditions.
