  1. Violation of vegetation. Diseases and a large number of pests can disrupt the life cycle of a tree. Therefore, trees need to be looked after in warm weather.
  2. Incorrect care in autumn. For example, in October or late autumn, the soil should be fertilized with fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium. Also, do not forget about moisture-charging watering, etc.
  3. Warm at the end of winter. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about the weather. But we can at least whitewash to reduce the temperature.
