How to keep the garden crab apple tree alive in winter

Is Shaguo afraid of cold?

In fact, this plant has quite good cold resistance, which can be seen from the fact that its distribution area is at a very high altitude. However, we also know that it is mainly in the Northeast, so the winter is bound to be very cold, so we still have to take necessary measures to prevent cold.

Specific steps

Moisture:

What we are talking about here is winter watering, which means watering the plants in winter. The purpose of doing this is to protect the plants from frost damage and can effectively reduce the occurrence of shoot pulling. This time, the water should be poured more thoroughly, and the depth should be controlled below one meter. As for the time, we can choose the last part of autumn, which is the end of October, or the beginning of winter.

Remove old skin:

Before entering winter, it is best to remove the old bark of the plants, including, of course, the overwintering pests hidden in the old bark, such as red spiders, moths, etc. However, one thing we have to pay attention to is that we must be moderate and not damage the tender branches of the plant. The time can be chosen in early November, which is just beginning of winter.

earth:

This measure is for areas with extremely cold winters. If the plant is only one or two years old, you can press it down and add soil, but be careful not to damage its trunk.

Whitening:

Perhaps we often see trees along the road painted white before winter comes? This fruit tree can also be treated in this way. It is best to do it in late autumn. The specific method is to prepare the whitewash first, and then apply it evenly on the surface of the tree trunk. The height will generally be controlled at the main trunk branches.
