Whitewashing and tying up trees: this needs to be done before the frost sets in
Frosts are about to arrive, but the summer resident still has time to complete important tasks in the garden.
Trees need to be whitewashed and tied up so that they do not suffer too much from frost, strong wind and sun.
Therefore, before the onset of stable frosts, it is necessary to whitewash the trees - to do this, you need to choose dry days during which there will be moderate humidity and no precipitation.
Let's look at other recommendations from the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to help trees in winter
It is recommended to remove moss and lichen from the bark - use a hard brush, and then spray the trunks and skeletal branches with a 3% solution of copper sulfate.
For whitewashing, it is better to choose a thick mixture that will not be washed away after the autumn rain.
It is better to tie the branches of young trees and seedlings with twine so that they do not break under the weight of snow.
If hares often run around your property in winter, it is better to tie the tree trunks with spruce branches or at least old tights.
