The branch of an apple tree broke: what to do
If a fruit-bearing tree has been damaged in your summer cottage, then this possibly symbolizes the fact that the agricultural technology carried out behind the apple tree did not suit her very well.
All summer residents have concerns about: what to do if the shoots of a fruit-bearing tree are broken or if the trunk is damaged? Where it leads?
When the shoots are broken, wounds form on a fruit-bearing tree, in which the process of reproduction of microorganisms and fungal diseases begins. So the apple tree starts to rot. To avoid this process, it is necessary to treat the wounds.
In a fruit-bearing tree, shoot falling off, trunk cracking, wood splitting are possible due to a huge variety of nuances:
- In case of incorrect shaping of the crown.
- When the branches are overloaded with the crop.
- If you did not put the spear under the shoots at the wrong time.
- In strong and cold winds.
- In case of sudden temperature changes.
- With excessive abundant pruning of shoots.
- With the wrong harvest.
- When freezing in the winter season.
- If the snowfall is too intense.
The branch of an apple tree broke: what to do with the trunk if a shoot fell off a fruiting tree
The branch of an apple tree broke: what to do
These broken apple trees will be able to reduce the rate of their growth, in fruiting trees the yield may decrease in size, and also fall to the soil along with the foliage. However, the most serious is the entry of the virus into the wound or fungal spores and bacteria (and other microorganisms).
If a bitch is damaged in fruit-bearing trees and at the right time, do not treat the wounds, then rot will appear on them after some time interval.
This means faster:
- Clean the existing wound with a sharpened knife.
- Treat with a preparation of one hundred grams of copper sulfate per container of liquid or with a preparation of five hundred grams of iron vitriol per container of liquid.
- Do not touch for a period of time for this drug to dry.
- Treat with dacha var or blissad preparation.
If the shoot is broken at a fruiting tree, what should be done in order to further avoid such nuances:
- In the winter season, with a large amount of snow on the shoots, it is necessary to shake it off.
- Place spears under large shoots. For all spears, sharpen the lower points to make it easier to deepen them into the soil. And twist the upper part of the spear with burlap, cloth, gaskets made of rubber, so as not to harm the bark. Install props in the center of the shoots. It is not necessary to place spears at the beginning or base of the shoots.
What to do if a branch of a young apple tree with apples breaks
What to do if a branch of a young apple tree breaks
If the shoot of a fruiting tree is damaged with a harvest, it is necessary to immediately remove all the apples from it.
All zealous summer residents will immediately say: if fruit-bearing trees are damaged, what to do with the harvest? Make amazing jams and preserves, of course.
And what can you think of with fruits that are not yet ripe? Make pectin from apples - a great natural alternative to gelatin.
If the shoot is not completely broken, and you tried to tie it to its original place, then for a couple of years it is necessary to remove all the buds on this shoot, in order to spend all your energy on the healing of the wounds, and not on the growth of the crop.
If a large shoot has fallen off a fruiting tree
Treat the existing wound with summer cottage varnish, paints, but only oil and cooked on natural linseed oil, even in stores there is a drug called "tubercle", which consists of perfume oil, stimulants of herbaceous growth and various waxes.
At the moment, there is a drug on sale "Itisso" - an unnatural bark, but the opinion of summer residents about this material is negative. They say that the apple tree on which itisso was used becomes infected with fungal spores, which means that you will have to treat the wounds with copper sulfate.
It is possible to process the existing wound with these components:
- one part of the "root" preparation is mixed with one part of the ash and one part of the "foundationol" preparation.
- the crushed capsule of the "immunocytovite" preparation is placed in the same solution.
- then add glue BF6 to the state of thickened sour cream.
- then treat the wound with the preparation.
The components are recommended to be used after manufacture.
How to treat a damaged shoot of a fruiting tree
Note!
It is possible to make a special preparation from sixty percent of fatty clay, thirty percent of cow dung (the mullein feeds the apple tree and enriches it with energy to heal the wound) and ten percent vitriol (copper or iron), add two hundred and fifty milliliters of copper vitriol to ten liters of components, and also add a small amount of ash, mix all this with liquid until the appearance of a thin sour cream.
It is possible to make a special dacha var by purchasing sixty grams of rosin, fifty milliliters of alcohol, two hundred grams of wax and one hundred grams of unsalted fat (it is recommended to purchase mutton).
- first warm up the rosin.
- then add the wax, grinding before that on a grater.
- then, when the rosin and wax melt and mix, it is possible to add fat.
- then remove the resulting components from the stove, cool a little, gradually add alcohol at the end.
This dacha var should not be warmed up in advance when applied, which means that it is possible for them to treat wounds and cracks in the winter season.
Alternatively, treat wounds with products containing copper, such as 3% Bordeaux liquid. It is also possible to purchase dacha food sold in supermarkets, for example, the “August” company var. It is possible to treat the wounds a couple of times with copper sulphate (one teaspoon per liter of liquid), and then treat it with summer cottage varnish, for example, with the drug "petrolatum".
Then, twelve to twenty-four months later, a new bark will grow on the sides and close the wound. Instead of dacha vara, it is possible to purchase "runnet" pasta. The components of this preparation are humate, copper sulfate and latacrill.
Note! There are quite a few positive opinions from experienced summer residents about the drug "bliss", it heals wounds on a fruit-bearing tree, increases their effectiveness.
It is strictly forbidden to treat wounds and cracks with mineral oils, tar, oil and kerosene.
Fruit-bearing trees are damaged - there is a chance to regenerate it
Your fruit-bearing tree is damaged - what to arrange? First you need to try to regenerate the barrel. Purchase a wire two whole three to five millimeters wide, wind it around the trunk, namely, make a bandage, put rubber gaskets under the wire, to prevent the apple tree from cracking, try to wind the wire harder to tighten the trunk.
Instead of wire, it is possible to use its alternative - a wide rope. If the barrel is unsuccessful, then align the barrel with screws, then treat the whole barrel with a preparation that contains clay, cow dung, ash and vitriol, then take out a new medical bandage, tie up the barrel, then treat it again with the same preparation.
Instead of a self-made drug, it is possible to purchase a dacha drug "blagosad", developed by Ukrainian specialists in the field of biology and chemistry. This drug contains lanolin with growth stimulants, as well as bactericidal and fungicidal compositions. The drug does not allow the wound to dry out for a certain period of time, it stimulates the accelerated growth rate of apple cells.
For the winter season, remove the ingredients and remove the medical bandage. Do not touch the wire, but treat the remaining wound with melted summer cottage varnish, paint the trunk itself with white paint, using paint for painting Alaska trunks.
In the spring season, remove the paint layer and wash off the summer cottage var, and then again make the preparation, which includes ash, copper sulfate and clay, then process the fruit-bearing tree.
The trunk of a fruiting tree is damaged
Suppose you have a damaged fruit-bearing tree. How to regenerate the trunk and itself?
Use a metal brush to remove damaged bark, or use a pointed pruner to remove it. This is done so that there are no rotting or weak tissues in the wound.
In the absence of treatment of the wound on the apple tree, then harmful microorganisms begin to consume the bark and multiply, which means that after some time interval a deep damage is formed on the apple tree, similar in appearance to the hollows. Damaged wood ceases to conduct juices with nutrients to shoots, buds, foliage and crops.
It is possible to treat the wound throughout the year, except for the first and second spring months, during this season, due to the movement of the juice, the disease will multiply in the vessels of the apple tree. After disinfection, do not touch the crack, let it dry. And treat it with a summer cottage, for example, the drug "bliss".
Fruiting tree split
The worst thing is not a break, but the splitting of large shoots - this takes place in summer cottages quite regularly and is quite harmful for a fruit-bearing tree, especially if the bark moves away from the lower part of the splitting. In this case, most often the fruit-bearing tree is sick, the shoots die, hollows are formed.
Recommendation! If the split shoot is immediately returned to its original position and firmly fixed, then it can grow in and fruits will form on it again.
However, if after splitting some time period has passed, then the cells of the apple tree dry out, fall off and the shoot will not grow in. So, carry out this acceleration as possible, while the wound must be thoroughly and carefully cleaned with a pointed knife and only then fixed.
There are many methods for securing shoots. It is recommended to fix them with two wooden bars or planks with a length of twenty centimeters, a diameter of two centimeters.
Wooden beams are fixed with metal screws or metal wire. However, it is recommended to put rubber or burlap under the wooden blocks.
The shoot of a fruiting tree is damaged
If the damaged shoot is connected to the trunk of the bark, then it is recommended to remove it, and carefully treat the saw cut with summer cottage varnish or special paint, which includes growth stimulants and fungicides. Then, twelve months later, dormant buds will form at the base of the shoot and young branches will begin to grow from them.
If the shoot is only slightly damaged, place a tire on it, put blocks of wood and tie them with a rope, trying to match the shoot with the trunk as accurately as possible.
To accelerate the fruit-bearing tree, pour calcium, phosphorus and potassium under it in the autumn season, dig it to a depth of seven centimeters. It is not recommended to pour out nitrogen during the fall season.
If the shoot is combined with the trunk and half of the wood, then it is possible to try to restore the shoot. At the same time, it is trimmed to an unharmed tissue, attached to the trunk.
The joint section is fixed with screws or nails, and upstairs the shoot is fixed with ropes to the trunk, or fasteners are installed, which are placed in the ground. The areas of alignment are lightly cleaned with a knife and painted with oil paint.
If this happened in the winter season, then immediately take these measures, the likelihood of regenerating the shoot will be higher. If buds appear on the shoots in the spring season, then pluck them so that the shoot directs all its energy to the connection.
Summing up the results. Recommendations of summer residents with experience
If the fruit-bearing tree is broken or the shoot of the fruit-bearing tree is cracked - what to do? Help the apple tree immediately.
It is possible to try to combine the shoot or the trunk with boards, fixing them with screws and putting rubber gaskets or burlap under them, treat the cracks with drugs or make solutions with your own hands, mixing three parts of clay, one part of cow dung and two hundred and fifty milligrams of copper sulfate, and also add ash ...
Instead, it is possible to make a preparation from uniform proportions of ash, foundation and root, do not forget the glue.
Recommendation! Fertilize the apple tree in the fall season with potassium or phosphorus. If the apple tree is defective, then remove all the buds in the spring season.
