What to do if the bark starts peeling off fruit trees: how to save the garden
Trees will not die if measures are taken in time to save them.
If the bark of an apple tree or other fruit tree is peeling off in layers, you can’t just watch what’s happening.
First of all, it is necessary to examine the plants to determine the exact cause. There are quite a few of them, but experienced gardeners have identified the most common ones.
Trees lose bark due to disease. But the process can be caused by natural processes.
Therefore, you need to look at what is under the bark. If the bark is young and fresh, then the tree is fine, the process will be completed without the gardener's intervention and will benefit the plant.
If this is a symptom of a disease, the tree needs help. First, remove the old bark with an iron brush. The affected areas are then treated with Fitosporin.
In most cases, such symptoms indicate fungal diseases. Gardeners use iron or copper sulfate to treat mold and rot on trees.
