If you haven't whitewashed your apple trees yet, now is the time to do it.
We'll tell you what else you need to do with your apple trees before winter.
How to prepare an apple tree for winter
The first important event that should be carried out at the end of November is moisture-charging watering.
If the autumn is dry, you should thoroughly water not only the apple trees, but also other fruit trees.
It is also necessary to collect fallen fruit and remove the remains of the harvest from the trees.
Next, you need to whitewash the trunks and wrap them with covering material to protect them from rodents.
The final stage of preparing apple trees for winter is mulching the tree trunks. Humus or peat can be used as mulch.
For reference
Apple tree is a genus of deciduous trees and shrubs of the Rosaceae family with spherical sweet or sweet-sour fruits.
