How to handle poor healing from girdling in pear tree grafting

Growing Techniques 0 views
Pear trees are generally girdled on the main branches, lateral branches and water sprouts. When girdling, it is best to make 2-3 spiral cuts around the branch. When girdling, the width of the bark strip removed must be strictly controlled, and the xylem must not be damaged; the width should be kept within 1/10 of the branch diameter, and no wider than 1.0 cm at most. It should be done from May to July; doing it too late is not conducive to wound healing
