Apple trees are among the most popular garden trees, but achieving a stable and abundant harvest can be challenging.
Sometimes an apple tree may not bear the expected fruit for several years, despite following all agronomic rules.
To solve this problem, gardeners resort to various tricks to obtain a harvest.
One such method is shocking.
This method has been known since ancient times and was used by our ancestors, who made plants experience stress to achieve a rich harvest.
The essence of the method is simple: a rusty nail is hammered into the apple tree, which stimulates the tree to bear fruit.
After that, the nail can be removed, and the puncture site should be covered with garden wax to prevent infection and maintain the health of the plant.
This method can also be applied to other fruit trees, such as pears.
