Preparation of fruit trees for winter

In order for the garden to please the buoy blossom in the spring and rich harvest in the summer, it is necessary to prepare the trees for winter from the autumn. This means that you need to properly focus, protect against pests, save from frost.

Falker trees

From the feeding of trees at the beginning of autumn, the process of preparing for the cold season begins. Fertilizers can be different:

• phosphorus;
• potassium;
• superphosphate, double superphosphate;
• sulfate potassium.

When dissolving fertilizer in water, you need to adhere to the instructions on the package. Usually these fertilizers contribute to the rolling circle. But even better for the trees it will be, if spraying leaves with easily soluble fertilizers. To do this, you need to take potassium photo phosphate, it contains all the components that will help the tree to successfully fall.
Roots of fruit trees can withstand frosty weather up to -16 degrees, but the dwarf plants do not survive the temperature. To protect your plant, you need to spray it with snow, there will never be such minus temperatures under it, but a problem may have a problem. If the roots are frozen, the spring kidney will begin to bloom much later, they can even bloom, but then they will disappear anyway. If you find that the tree is still alive, but already lagging behind in development, you still have a chance to save it. If the roots are not completely damaged, then help can process stimulants that restore the root system. The most popular is "corneser" and "zircon". And also need to water as often as possible.

Care of trees

Autumn for many dacms and gardeners is a period when you need to clean up: cut out the pigs, remove the leaves, plant new trees. But it is also extremely important to correctly care for old trees.

Cleaning trees

The bark of the tree protects it from the effects of weather conditions, as well as from the attack of insects. But it is completely able to preserve it very rarely, under the action of frost, wind and sun bark burst, and cracks appear on the tree, in which insects are immediately seized. But insects are not the most terrible enemy, there are still various fungi and tree diseases in the cracks. To prevent tree disease, cleaners are clean and put the blotch. Properly clean the tree in this way:

1. Take a cloth or tarpaulin and shook the place around the tree so that the bark removed does not fall on the ground.
2. Pick up the tool - you can take a brush for metal, a garden scraper, all that is convenient for you.
3. In order for the dust did not get into the eyes, and the hands did not hurt squeezes, put the protective glasses and gloves.
4. That bark, which strongly moved away from the tree you need to carefully remove so that the living wood does not damage. Young trees clean from the bark do not need.
5. Choir burn together with another garden garbage. Do it immediately until the pathogenic microbes have not left underground.

Tempets trees in autumn

Many young and inexperienced daches neglect the whitewash trees for the winter. And it is wrong, because the trees need to have twice a year. During whitewings, the tree is not only protected from microorganisms, but also from frostsoboin and sunburn. If you have not twisted the trunks of the trees, the next time you have to handle the lime of the bark already in March, and in early April, the trees that were treated in the fall. You can buy a ready-made whitewashing in the store, it does not need to be brewed with water, it has a liquid pasta shape, but the experienced daches on the old man are preparing blissing themselves.

1. Take about 3 kg of lime on the water bucket, add a hundred gram of joinery glue and half a kilogram of copper sulfate. Mix the mixture thoroughly for a few minutes, all components must dissolve. Then leave the whitewash so that it is well inquired, and in a few hours you can use it for its intended purpose.
2. In order for the whitewashing also with disinfectant properties, it is necessary to put in it a hundred gram of powder dry suit, which scares hares and other rodents who love to enjoy the bark of young trees.
3. Prepare brushes for whitewash, they should be convenient to work.

Tempets trees in the garden should pass systematically and in winter, and in the summer, and more than once, only in this case one can count on the fact that the trees will remain healthy. In addition, your garden is transformed after whitewash. How good the trees look the bitches can be viewed in the photo.

Hardening and mulching of trees

If the winter in your region is distinguished by Luti frosts, and the snow is not
Frequently, you definitely need to take care of the preparation of trees for the winter, namely, about hardening the rhizomes. It is quite simple to do it, it is enough just to remove about 5 cm of soil near the villagers, and transfer this land into a dry cold place, leave before the start of frosts. It is necessary to not miss the moment when the weather proceeds to real frosts from light freezers. As soon as the morning began to grab the froze on the ground, it is necessary to return this removed land back to the roots.

This process will help the roots to get used to gradually to frost, and in the future they will not disappear, as trees and winter grow, and not as many believe, are in a hibernation. This is especially true of apple trees and pears, the roots of these trees are very sensitive to a strong frost.

A good way to prepare trees to wintering is the mulching of the soil. It can be carried out by any scattering material that is in the garden. Typically, mulching is carried out in November.

Watering trees before winter

In mid-October, trees need to wipe well, it is also a kind of preparation for winter. During abundant leaffold, the root system absorbs water intensively. If the weather stands rainy, then this item can be omitted, the roots themselves will take moisture from the soil as much as they need. But if the weather is dry, it is advisable to pour the land in a circle of the crown. Do it need correctly:

1. Watering should be so heavy so that the soil moistened to 40 cm in depth.
2. On the watering of one young tree, there should be 40 liters of water on average, and for an adult consumption - 200 liters.
3. It is necessary to water the land in the rolling circles and under the whole crown, because it was in these places that the youngest and vulnerable roots are formed.
4. Watering can be done by portions, gradually every day for three days. In this case, the soil is well soaked in moisture.
5. In order for the water to spread, you can make small ditch and shaft out of the ground. The diameter of the structure for young trees - half meter, for older - up to two meters.

Protection against rodents and infections

If in the summer of small rodents of food plenty, then the bark of trees becomes the main food. And heeping her, they lead the trees to death. Therefore, experienced gardeners invented protection against pests. It is very simple to do it, you need to wind up a tree stack with different material: old tights, kraft paper. This is, so to speak, budget options, if you can, then you can spend on a tol, rubberoid, reed mats or special plastic lattices that are placed in front of the tree and cover the pest access to the crust.

As soon as the spring is the first warm days, you need to remove the whole winding, otherwise the trees will begin under it and new diseases will appear on the crust.
As the prevention of diseases, the autumn trees spray. It is necessary to do it, even if the trees do not hurt anything. The procedure must be carried out after the leaves fall into the whole composition to be on the trunk and branches, and not the fruits. Spraying is carried out with the help of copper sulfate. It takes three hundred grams per 10 liters of water. Before this, it is better to mix the entire powder into a couple of liters, and then pour into the rest of the water and stir so, so the solution will definitely be homogeneous. For spraying use special equipment with a sprayer.

Shelter trees for the winter

Some varieties of trees, characterized by thermo-loss, must be stolen for the winter. You can do this by different materials: some dackets are covered with leaves from these same plants, other throw snow. Sometimes special shields are used, you can do them with your own hands using sticks and ruberoids. It is necessary to establish about young trees, and how to cover them from above. As a result, the tree is winter in a dry, windless, relatively warm place. So that the rodents do not get through the shields, they leave jars with tar, they scare the pests. Some gardeners adhere to the opinions that under the shield can not be broken, but it will be better to do it to once again secure your garden.
