Trees often suffer from lichen, and a large amount of moss may also appear on the trunks.
There are many ways to get rid of this disease, but we will pay attention to a different approach.
There is especially a lot of lichen and moss in a neglected garden, but don’t despair, as the problem can be solved.
Let's pay attention to the advice of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why can thinning pruning be effective?
If the garden is very neglected, then sometimes some gardeners perform partial cutting, since the tree is so affected by lichen that it is easier to remove it from the garden.
But if the tree can still be saved, then you can simply trim off the heavily overgrown branches so that the crown does not become denser.
Removing branches will also provide the remaining branches with fresh air and light.
The increased humidity will disappear, which will lead to a decrease in the amount of moss and lichen. After thinning, moss and lichen can be removed mechanically.
