Willow tree infested by pests?
Our small willow tree has suddenly been infested with pests for the past two or three days. There are lots of small holes on the trunk with wood flour oozing out of them, and the same is on the ground. Could these be woodworms? A very large wasp or something similar suddenly appeared (see photo)….
It depends on the care.
Apple trees must be light so that sunlight can fall. If this is not the case the quality and sweetness suffers very quickly.
The tree cut is very important. On the one hand, the branches must be wear-resistant and do not break under the load, on the other hand they must not be too steeply erected.
Depending on the growth force of the tree, the branches are cut to an angle of 80 degrees up to 45 degrees. The stronger the smaller the angle and the steeper the branches (because of the load capacity)
steep branches increase vegetative growth (he shoots in height)
flat branches increase the number of fruits
It is important that the apple tree does not bear too many fruits. It is necessary to remove the excess fruit. Possibly only an apple every 15 cm. Otherwise, the quality suffers. In addition, the aging will occur in the following year. D.H. in the following year he bears only a few to no fruit. If the excess fruit is removed, the alternance remains.
If the tree is very old it brings only a few fruits but the quality should be at least equal.
Apple trees on seedlings should be aged up to 60 in part even 100 Jahe. Apple trees on a weak-growing base 10-20 years.
maximum air pollution.
when you grow on your tree, the air is in order.
apples grow on young wood. Therefore, the quality cannot change. – otherwise it wouldn’t work with the spruce.
the quality of the apples and also the taste, the size and the ripe vary year for year.
where apples are not self-pollinating – pollen of another sort are necessary to pollinate apple blossoms.
can therefore be that if your neighbour falls his tree of a day, yours no longer wears.
high trunk is usually not cut back – but in yielding years you should not be afraid to thin out the apples, so remove apples before ripening so that the existing ones become bigger.
Hello,
there may be some special effects:
In the case of a very young tree that just starts to wear, the fruits may initially fall out somewhat irregularly until everything gets caught. Immediately afterwards, he may wear regular and well with particularly great fruits.
But in principle, with appropriate care, the fruit quality can remain the same over a very long period.
Without care, many cultures produce significantly smaller fruits – you can see that very well in wild cultures.
Otherwise, it is more so that the amount of fruit decreases when vitality decreases, not so much the quality – exceptions confirm the rule.
If you like the strain and it doesn’t matter as sentimental as: The tree was planted at my birth, then let him multiply by refinement and you continue the variety.
And who does that? A gardener shop?
Plant nurseries or Fruit trees – but also some gardeners have the qualifications, so gardening companies are also eligible.
There are also nurseries that offer the online – you have to send noble travellers, who then take care of the finishing (typically during winter time).
Simply search for order finishing and similar with a search engine.
No, whoever the tree is healthy doesn’t change
The number of fruits can decrease and they can become smaller. A continuous care with a certain cut is important, otherwise the number of “reasonable” apples goes back.
The quality of the fruits does not change.
