Why to Hammer Nails into Apple Trees: Every Summer Resident Should Know This
Many summer residents practice hammering nails into old apple trees, which seems like a rather strange method.
However, in reality, this kind of procedure can bring unconditional benefits to fruit trees.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained why it is necessary to hammer nails into “old” and non-fruit-bearing apple trees.
The expert also explained how to do this procedure correctly so as not to harm garden crops.
Remember this trick
The fact is that old fruit trees experience an acute shortage of iron.
Hammering rusty nails into them can solve this problem, but only if the nail is driven shallowly, about one centimeter.
It is important to remember that this method damages the tree bark, making it vulnerable to attacks by parasites. Therefore, it is extremely important to treat the crop with special protective agents in a timely manner.
