- 1). Train your tree. To ensure a healthy and productive plant, place a metal post next to its trunk while it's still young. Loosely tie the trunk to the post with your string. This encourages upright growth and a hardier crop.
- 2). Water your tree. Young plants need 3 gallons of water each. Water the plant near its base and around it in a 2-foot diameter.
- 3). Prune your tree. As your tree develops, it will produce limbs relatively low on its trunk. Carefully remove these limbs to make way for stronger limbs that will develop as the tree matures.
- 4). Apply liquid nitrogen to your tree. Liquid nitrogen can be found at your local hardware or garden center. Simply follow the instructions on the package for application.
- 5). Watch for pests and weeds. Apply mulch in a 2-foot diameter around your tree to prevent pests and weeds from attacking your tree. Regularly check your tree for pests or weeds near its base. The earlier you remove these nuisances, the sooner your trees will begin to produce fruit.
