    How to cope with clasterosporiosis of cherries and sweet cherries? From this disease, the fruits dry up, never ripening.

      Since this disease is fungal in nature, plants should be treated with preparations containing copper to neutralize pathogens. In early spring, before bud break, you can spray a 3% boron board with liquid, but the preparation of this remedy takes a lot of time and effort.

      Recently, gardeners have been using Oksihom instead of this traditional remedy - an instant powder, a sachet (20 g) is diluted in 10 liters of water. Copper oxychloride, which is part of this fungicide, quickly penetrates into fungal spores and destroys them within the first hours after treatment.

    In early spring, apple flowering bees wake up and immediately rush to fruit trees to lay eggs in flower buds.
    I use trapping belts in advance: I wrap the trunk with a medical bandage in 2-3 layers. It adheres well to the rough bark. Then I apply a thin layer of glue to catch mice on the bandage. When it is absorbed, I apply another layer.
    And the last step - I shake the branches of the tree: if the insects have already climbed onto it, they will be on the ground, and the trapping belt will block their way up.

    I found swollen cracks on the branches of young apple trees. When pressed, a click is heard and a milky liquid is released. What's with the trees? How to treat them?

      — The trees are damaged by yellow pear scale insects. Pest larvae hibernate under shields on the trunks and branches of fruit trees. In spring, at an average daily temperature of +8 degrees, they begin to feed, sucking the juice from the bark. In early spring, at an average daily temperature of +8 degrees, spray the trees with BI-58 (according to instructions). Repeat after flowering.

    In the spring, before bud break, I generously spray the apple trees with milk of lime (1,5 kg of freshly slaked lime per 10 liters of water) so that the branches become white. As a result, weevil females fly around such trees.
