How to save a sick cherry orchard - spraying with trichopole (metronidazole)
Trichopolum and cherry treatment
The worst thing for a gardener is the need to cut down his garden. But is this always the only way out? Maybe you should not unconditionally trust others and act “like everyone else”? Why immediately apply extreme measures?
L.N. Mishchenko asked to help her cope with the disease that struck her apple tree ("It's Different"). It was about injections of antibiotics, which, indeed, make the tree very problematic.
I ran into a similar problem this spring. Maybe my humble experience will help others.
It all started with the fact that in May our cherries suddenly began to die. At first the trees fell on one side of the manor, but soon the disease spread to the other side.
After my questioning it turned out that this infection struck almost all the planting of cherries in the Vyaznikovsky District. All advised to cut down the cherry trees to the root and burn them.
I remember, about 15 years ago in our area there was already such an attack: the branches of cherries began to turn yellow and become covered with gluten. Then, again on the advice of acquaintances, I cut down my entire cherry plantation and for a long time later planted cherries again. But this time, frankly, I felt sorry for - because my cherries are very young, I planted them with my own hands, they are like children to me.
I remember, there was article about trichopol: the author advised to do the trees injections, but just like Lyubov Nikolayevna, I did not know how to put it into practice. Then I decided to just dilute the tablets in a jar with water and sprinkle my trees from the spray gun.
There were those who reasonably stated that if, for example, instead of injections, a person is simply sprayed on the skin with an antibiotic, then this is unlikely to be of any use. But I still decided to try, because a tree is not a person, trees receive food through foliage.
For starters, the pruner cut off all affected branches, leaving only those on which there were still green leaves.
It was not easy and took a lot of time. After that I bred two tablets of Trichopolum in 5 L of water and sprinkled my cherries.
Fortunately, after a couple of weeks my cherries gave a new increase, all the branches cleared of infection, and today there is absolutely no trace of the scraps themselves.
Even a few fruits have ripened - of course, nobody has eaten them, but, I think, this is the lesser of troubles. After all, most of my friends completely cut out and burnt all their cherries ...
So do not be afraid, try this method yourself, suddenly you will succeed? I recommend, because you can not convey in words the feeling that you experience when you managed to save a living being, even if it's just a plant.

Cherry in flowers, but without berries
Cherries of large-berry varieties bloomed well, but did not bear fruit. Watching the trees, came to the conclusion: the reason is that simultaneously with the cherry blossoms cherry. And if there are many in the district, she collects almost all bees. Cherry does not remain. To attract these useful insects to their garden, last year planted a bush of bird cherry on the site. Let's see if it helps.
In the meantime, the following method helps me out: on the ladder I go up to the top of a cherry blossom with a bucket of fine sand, with which a handful of a handful sprinkle the entire crown from top to bottom. I do so 2 times with an interval of several days. And every year I harvest a good harvest of cherries. Two more wild cherries planted near the plot, which 10 years beautifully blossomed, but they did not give berries. I decided to instill in the skeletal branches cuttings of large-berry cherries. True, one tree died from sunburn. But the second well develops (it has a cherry stem, and the crown - cherries). And, importantly, it pleases the harvest every season.
Is it possible, on the contrary, to plant cherry cherry in the cherry crown?

A more effective way to attract bees to pollinating cherries is spraying trees with an 5% solution of sugar or honey (50 g per 1 L of water). As the inoculum components of cherry and cherry are well compatible with each other, but differ in their different growth powers. Therefore, on the site of vaccination, as a rule, a large influx is formed.

What to do if cherries and cherries bloom well, but do not bear fruit very well ... What could be the reason?
#
There can be several options, let's enumerate them all.
Firstly, the lack of pollinating varieties. It is a pity that you did not write what types of cherries and cherries grow on your site, then we could pick you pollinating varieties. But you can do it yourself - just plant one variety of cherries and one variety of cherries that blooms at the same time as the varieties of cherries and cherries already growing in your area. Or graft another type of cherry stalk into the crown of the cherry, and graft the other grade stalk into the crown of the cherry, and when a full branch develops from the stalk, its pollen will be enough to pollinate the whole plant, and the yields will be “very”.
The second option. Your plants fall either under provocative thaw in winter, or under recurrent frosts in the spring. If you are talking about freezing during the flowering period, smoke fires can be made around the site (if neighbors do not mind) and thus raise the temperature in the garden (if there is no wind). But with provocative thaws it is more difficult. Cherries and cherries are responsive to them, and if during the winter the temperature rises to a positive mark, generative, that is, floral, buds can begin to awaken. Naturally, the subsequent frosts will ruin most of them, and the crops will be "not very".
The third reason. You planted outdated varieties or varieties that are not suitable for your zone, then the crops will be "not very" even without any external factors.
And finally, the cherry elephant (or weevil) - it can damage the fruits at an early stage, when they are just tied, and they will crumble. To get rid of the cherry elephant, you need to loosen the soil in spring and autumn around the trunk circles of cherries and cherries, remove the old bark from plants where the elephant can winter, use the permitted insecticides immediately after flowering of the cherries and cherries, and repeat 5 days after the first treatment. And also to attract birds to the garden, which, however, along with the cherry elephant can spoil the harvest of sweet cherries, but then you have to choose.
