Trimming
The crown of the crop forms independently. You just need to correct it. After the snow melts, cut off broken, dry and diseased branches. In autumn, cut off excess shoots. If there is no special need, then it is better not to touch them. The cut area must be covered with clay or special putties. Untreated areas can easily become infected, which can lead to the death of the tree.
Disease Prevention
Every season it is necessary to carry out preventive measures to save the tree from infection:
- Before winter, fallen leaves are collected. Pathogenic bacteria easily multiply in it, and pests also lay larvae.
- The soil is dug up around the plant in late autumn and spring.
Processing is required:
- At the moment the leaves bloom, Bordeaux mixture is suitable. You will need 3%.
- At the moment of pouring the fruits, use the drug “Skor”.
- After the harvest is complete, Bordeaux mixture is used. You will need a 1% solution.
All drugs are diluted according to the instructions.
