First of all, choose the appropriate flowerpot, the diameter of the flowerpot is 40 cm or more, the depth is between 30-35 cm, there should be breathable holes at the bottom to facilitate drainage.

Then it is to configure the nutritious soil. Mix the rotten pine needles with fermented cow dung and castor cake organic fertilizer at 1:1:1 and put them into a round flowerpot.

The next step is to prepare apple saplings. When selecting apple seedlings, you should choose strong, disease-free and pest-free plants with full bud points. Plant them in the pot in mid-April. Before planting, you should dip 5% carbendazim into the root to kill the bacteria on the root system. Then plant the fruit trees in round flowerpots. After burying and pounding, watering thoroughly can ensure the safe survival of potted fruit trees.

Then it is pruned and coiled when the fruit tree grows to 1.5-2 times the height of the basin to inhibit the growth in order to promote the sturdiness of the main stem. Then it is to cut off the side branches that are too exuberant, combined with pulling branches for twisting, coring, engraving and ring peeling, which can cultivate a large number of fruiting branches and promote them to form flower buds to achieve the purpose of early fruiting and multi-fruiting.

Finally, there is flower and fruit management, spraying 0.25% borax during flowering to increase fruit setting rate. Pay attention to less watering during fruit setting, and replenish water in time after fruit setting, so as to improve the growth rate of fruit. Thirty days after the fruit is set, the fruit is basically formed, and after changing color, it can be picked and eaten.
