The shoots that cherry and plum trees produce every year cause a lot of trouble for summer residents.
The shoots take away some of the plant's nutrients and prevent it from developing to its full potential.
Fighting undergrowth
Gardeners struggle with shoots year after year, but they are not always successful in defeating them. For example, some summer residents get rid of shoots by weeding and surface pruning.
Gardeners are in no hurry to use chemicals, because they will destroy both the shoots and poison the tree. Dangerous substances will reach the plant itself through the roots.
A reliable way
There is only one effective and reliable method. It is safe, but requires efforts from the summer resident.
First, you need to get to the source of the shoot, i.e. dig up the root. You need to cut not only the shoot, but also the node from which the branch grows.
The emergence of shoots
It is normal for plum and cherry trees to sprout. But it is worth paying attention when there is too much of it.
Trees often send out shoots when they are in unfavorable conditions. The plants are preparing for death, so they try to put out more shoots.
