Trees that are rotting are subject to removal, since their transition to the status of hazardous trees is a matter of time.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to carefully inspect your property after the leaves have fallen in order to detect rotted specimens in time.
The first thing that every summer resident who does not want to part with a plant dear to his heart must do is to determine the cause of the problem.
Tree rotting can be caused by improper planting, active phytopathogens, pests, old age or proximity to groundwater.
According to experienced gardeners, treatment will be effective only in the latter case - and only if we are dealing with younger specimens.
For this purpose, the seedling is transplanted to a more suitable place, the rotting areas are cleaned and covered with a wound-healing preparation after treatment with a 5% solution of copper sulfate.
In other situations, it is recommended to remove rotting trees from the area and carefully monitor the condition of other plants.
In the future, choose a more suitable location for planting young trees.
