During planting of the Izumitelnoe apple variety, fertilizers should be used, which are usually used when planting other fruit trees. The same rule applies to tree care.
You should choose those places where the groundwater will lie as deep as possible so that the root system does not rot. The optimal time for planting is mid-spring or mid-autumn.
Experienced gardeners recommend planting this particular variety in the fall, purchasing ready-made seedlings with a very good and branched root system.
The soil should be well-drained and loose. Loams work best. It is on such soil that the tree will bear fruit best. If you are planting several trees, then you must maintain a distance of more than 2 m between plantings. After the tree is planted, it is necessary to water it abundantly. If you have the wrong soil on your site, then you can add compost, peat or sand to it, and dig everything up properly.
After the winter period, you should immediately begin to form the crown of the tree. Here it is necessary to shorten all the shoots, and this will need to be done for 5 years, while the tree is not yet bearing fruit.
If your soil is rich in nutrients on your site, then you do not need to additionally feed the plant, or rather, you will need to do this no more than once a year, using a mixture of humus, trace elements, urea and calcium salts. Further, fertilizers are not applied throughout the season.
Also, do not forget about the treatment of apple trees against insects and pests in the spring. Usually, the treatment is carried out before the swelling of the buds and before the flowers bloom.
The apple variety Amazing is not picky about watering, so here you need to monitor the level of soil moisture.

Often, the Amazing apple tree can infect a fungus - tinder fungus. A symptom of this disease will be the appearance of a fungus on the bark of a tree. Here, on the contrary, the trunk will be most affected than the leaves and fruits. In this case, the tinder fungus must be immediately removed so that it does not deprive the plant of useful nutrients. You can remove the mushroom with a sharp knife. If it has become very hard, then an ax should be used.
It is important to remove all the roots of the fungus so that it does not grow back after a while. All cut sites must be disinfected, it is especially important that the cut site is even. Sections should be treated with oil paint or copper sulfate. Since various infections and pests can enter the tree trunk through the wound.
