Scraping also has many benefits to the growth of trees, so most fruit growers scrape fruit trees in winter. So specific how to shave, what is the specific method of shaving?

1. Purpose of skin shaving

Generally speaking, fruit growers will shave kernel fruit trees that have grown for more than ten years, such as pears and apples, but not those that cannot be reached for a long time. But 8-year-old grapes can be shaved. In general, young trees do not shave, rashly scraping has an impact on the growth of fruit trees, easy to inhibit the growth of fruit trees. Scraping is to eliminate overwintering bugs and germs in the bark, and is to stimulate bark renewal, the growth of adult trees is very good, generally do not need to scrape.

The time of scraping is the dormant period, and the sap does not flow, usually after the defoliation of fruit trees to before sprouting in the following year. Probably between November and February of the following year. During this period, the fruit tree does not germinate and does not grow. Generally, skinning is carried out in autumn and winter, generally not in summer, not in growth, during the result period.

3. The method of skin shaving

Now you can buy special skinning tools, not only the trunk, but also the main branches, side branches, and auxiliary branches, but the tender branches can not be scraped, so the branch group can not be scraped, which affects the growth and the nutrition supply of the branches. The depth of scraping can be stopped when you see the red endothelium. Usually you just need to remove the rough bark outside.

4. Disinfection treatment

After scraping, clean the shavings under the tree in time, as well as some withered branches and leaves. Clean up the orchard together and burn it down. This ensures that bugs and germs are eliminated. Then, in order to protect the tree trunk from cold and frost, you need to apply white, mix it with lime, salt, soybean cake milk, water and vegetable oil, and finally add stone sulfur mixture to spread evenly on the tree trunk.
