Snowfalls pose a serious danger to fruit trees.
The fact is that branches can break due to a large amount of snow accumulated on them.
If this happens, the summer resident will hardly be able to collect many apples and pears in the next summer season.
How can you prevent branches from breaking? It would seem that there is only one way out: regularly come to the dacha even in the winter months to remove precipitation manually.
However, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh offers a more interesting and simple method.
What to hang on trees
During the cold season, bird feeders must be placed on woody plants located in a suburban area.
The birds will fly up to the trees and jump along the side branches of the trunk. As a result, the snow that ends up on the branches will fall to the ground.
It is clear that some of the precipitation may remain on the plant. However, the risk of branch breakage will be significantly reduced.
There is another benefit to having birds in your winter garden: flying animals will destroy pests.
