What are the treatment methods for cherry tree wounds?

Nursery Stock 0 views
During the growth of cherry trees, long-term exposure to the sun makes the bark prone to aging and damage, causing rot and forming hollows, which affects the growth and lifespan of the cherry tree. Therefore, once a wound is found on a cherry tree, treatment measures must be taken immediately. Generally, first use a sharp knife to shave and scrape the wound clean, then disinfect it with a disinfectant such as a 5-degree lime sulfur mixture or ink, and finally apply a protective agent such as tung oil to prevent the wound from rotting and promote its healing. If the cherry tree wound has already become a hollow, it should be repaired. The method is: first dig out the rotten wood inside the hollow, then scrape clean the dead tissue at the edge of the hollow, then disinfect with a chemical agent, and use leaf mold and charcoal powder to wrap the rotten area to promote the restoration of its normal physiological functions. Observe carefully and keep the leaf mold and charcoal powder wrapping moist. If it dries out, water it to maintain a certain humidity. After such treatment, the hollow of the cherry tree will slowly grow adventitious roots. Combined with annual soil improvement, the adventitious roots will continue to grow, and finally extend into the soil and gradually thicken. The adventitious roots will transform into a trunk, becoming a healthier main trunk that sprouts and produces flowers.

During the growth of cherry blossoms, long-term exposure to the sun makes the bark prone to aging and damage, causing rot and forming hollows, which affects the growth and lifespan of the cherry blossoms. Therefore, once a wound is found on a cherry blossom, treatment measures must be taken immediately. Generally, first use a sharp knife to shave and scrape the wound clean, then disinfect it with a disinfectant such as 5-degree lime-sulfur mixture or ink, and finally apply a protective agent such as tung oil to prevent the wound from rotting and promote healing. If the cherry blossom wound has already become a hollow, it should be repaired. The method is: first dig out the rotted wood inside the hollow, then scrape clean the dead tissue at the edge of the hollow, then disinfect with a chemical agent, use leaf mold and charcoal powder to wrap the rotted area, and promote the restoration of its normal physiological functions. Observe carefully and keep the wrapping leaf mold and charcoal powder moist. If dry, irrigate water to maintain a certain humidity. After such treatment, the hollow of the cherry blossom will slowly grow adventitious roots. Combined with annual soil improvement, the adventitious roots will continue to grow, and finally extend into the soil and gradually thicken. The adventitious roots will change into a trunk, becoming a healthier main trunk, sprouting and producing flowers.
