Whether an apple tree will produce a good harvest depends not least on the condition of the trunk.
In the fall, after harvesting, it is necessary to inspect the trees and seal all cracks.

How to seal cracks on an apple tree
One of the most effective remedies is a mixture of mullein and wood ash.
Mix the ingredients in equal proportions, add a little water, and you can spread it.
If you don't have mullein, you can use a mixture of clay and wood ash.
Before applying the putty, the damaged area must be disinfected by treating it with a solution of Bordeaux mixture.
