Care for apple trees

Our cottage is located in a very picturesque place, but the soil there is sandy and non-good, besides at a certain depth, Solonchaki lie. Reliable, not the best conditions for the growth of fruit gardens. But we do not omit the hands, we are looking for a way out. Trees Rasting on semi-caric colorations, lay the bottom of the landing pit with iron so that the roots do not get to the salt layer, we sit down every year young trees for the replacement of old.
But we have one old apple tree, who at the time of her youth my father predicted a long life. I do not even know what kind of grade it, but it looks like one of the rents. Summer apples, large, unusually fragrant and tasty. For many years of his life, this apple tree became a visit to our yard - the eye pleases, the apples are delicious treats and the crown of heat is covered.
And for some time, our beauty was chosen by pests (I think; koroedy). We noticed this not immediately. And only when they saw that the Craer was pretty twisted the dyatli, they were thinking about. Although the apple tree is already old, we really did not want to lose it. To all, she was for us the road as a memory of the Father.
And I began to save her. What measures did not take: and wounded the wounds with the Garden Warr, and processed the pesticides, and cut part of the crown. In the year before last cooled almost all the tree with water-level paint for garden trees. The apple tree as if he sighed with relief. And soon he came to life after healing clay masks. The recipe suggested a neighbor:
"Mixing the half-water and manifold 100 g of copper mood and a handful of ash."

I fly all my trees with this mixture. I wonder the wounds and the bandage with a cloth, then I miss again. Such compress lasts long. But on the old apple tree, the wound was big, so I did not bandage, but updated the layer as it was washed with rain. When fault, do it with great love.
It is like a cosmetic mask on a female face - moisturizes, nourishes, smoothes wrinkles. It is believed that the apple trees give a big harvest year a year later, but my apple tree is fruitful for three years in a row. It seems to me that she thanks it so for our care.
