• Monitor soil temperature.
• Monitor soil moisture.
• Prepare special feeding.
• Conduct timely vaccinations.

The fruit was entered in the Guinness Book of Records, for a certain period of time it attended exhibitions as an exhibit. And then it was safely eaten. But the gardener who has grown such a fruit has already established their regular production. He says that he systematically measures the moisture and temperature of the soil, feeds the apple trees, inoculates them and crosses them. On one branch, he leaves only a couple of fruits.

As for the average fruit, the concept of it changes over time. Previously, the average apple was considered a fruit weighing 100 g. But now the parameters have changed, and this concept corresponds to a fruit that weighs 150-170 g. This is due to the breeding of new crossed varieties.

A peeled apple has a mass of 50 g less, and the core is only 30-50 g. A large fruit is considered to weigh 250-300 g. Knowing the approximate weight of 1 fruit, it is easy to calculate how many of them are in 1 kilogram. Usually this amount is 6-10 pieces.

To avoid this, after the excess ovaries have fallen off, you can independently remove another 30% of the smallest and least developed of them.

The amount of moisture also affects the size of the fruit. With a lack of it, they also tend to become smaller. Therefore, with low rainfall, each tree should be watered at least 3 times per season and at least 10 liters of water should be poured under each plant. And in order to preserve moisture, it is better to mulch the ground under the apple trees.

The age of the trees should also be taken into account. The largest fruits are born on young trees 2-4 years from the moment they begin to bear fruit. Over time, apples get smaller and smaller. The fewer fruits on a tree, the larger they are. To grow a giant apple, some leave a single fruit on the apple tree. For a plant to bear fruit, it must have at least 40 leaves.
