Any summer resident wants the apple trees growing on his plot to bear fruit for as long as possible.

It's a pleasure to harvest large, juicy and tasty fruits.

But sooner or later the moment will come when one or another apple tree will have to be cut down.

There are several signs that the plant can no longer be saved: dangerous processes have begun and have become irreversible.

Presence of tinder fungus

If this fungus appears on the trunk of an apple tree, it indicates the following: the tree has become sick, weakened, or too old.

There is no chance of "reanimation". The plant needs to be cut down.

Poor condition of the bark

If the outer part of a fruit tree begins to peel off without any obvious reason (human or animal interference, adverse weather conditions), then this is a very bad sign.

Most likely, irreversible processes have already begun in the plant: the imminent death of the apple tree is inevitable.

Through hollows

The presence of through holes in the tree also indicates the need to cut down the representative of the flora.

Do this boldly: even if you leave the plant, you still will not get a harvest from it due to the lack of fruiting.
