Apply agricultural borax to treat boron deficiency in apple trees [Malus domestica]. The rate should be 0.25 pounds for dwarf or young trees, 0.5 for mature trees, and 1 pound for very large trees. The application needs to be made in the fall or winter and should be done every third year until the problem is solved. It also needs to be done either 3-6 feet away from the trunk of young trees or near the drip line of older trees.
The easiest way is to apply a general fertiliser containing trace elements as a Boron deficiency is only part of the problem.

Can boron deficiency in apple and pear trees only be treated with soil applications?
No, soil applications of agricultural borax aren't the only treatment for apple [Malus domesticus] and pear [Pyrus spp] trees growing in boron deficient soil. Another option is foliar control, or spraying on the trees' leaves. Just have solubor applied at the rate of 1.0 pound per 100 gallons once during the late bloom and once during the early post bloom each year.
