Currently, in some areas, they are engaged in pruning and grafting fruit trees.
Sanatbek Alizhanov, a local gardener, noted that care for the seedlings began on February 20.
“At the moment, in the Kök-Talaa area, we are engaged in pruning and grafting seedlings. These works, which started on February 20, will continue until the leaves appear on the cherries,” he says.
According to the specialist, seedlings can be pruned for 5-6 years after planting, and then this process stops. Depending on the size of the seedlings, the cost of pruning ranges from 100 to 150 soms, while grafting costs from 30 soms. Usually, the price is discussed with the garden owner.
“Gardeners most often graft seedlings to other varieties to improve pollination and increase yield,” adds Sanatbek.
