Hurricanes and other adverse weather conditions can lead to problems at your dacha, including damage to tree trunks.

If this has happened, then you must immediately take action to restore the tree.

Inspection

First of all, it is necessary to inspect the damaged area. If the tree has cracked completely and the roots have become bare, then it is unlikely that the tree can be helped.

If the tree is partially damaged, the summer resident can restore it.

Important events

After inspection, it is important to proceed to a number of actions. First of all, you need to remove the broken parts from the tree, and then process the cut areas. For this, you can use putty or garden varnish.

Next, it is important to fasten the trunk so that it becomes a single whole again. Clamps or metal ties can help with this.

After this, it is important for the summer resident to install support stakes on both sides so that the trunk does not split.

Working with roots

To restore the root system, you can dig a small hole near the trunk and fill it with fertile soil.

By following these tips, you can save the tree.
