Cleaning up the orchard
The end of October is the best time to clean up orchards and gardens. When all the leaves have fallen off, rake them carefully. You also have to collect all fallen, rotting and disease-infected fruits from under the trees. Thanks to this, we will significantly reduce the source of diseases and pests, which will facilitate our protection in the next year.
What trees can be planted in autumn?
The autumn planting date for trees and shrubs is recommended for species resistant to low temperatures, such as apple, pear and plum trees. Peaches and cherries, on the other hand, are better to be planted in the spring.It often happens that when planted in autumn, they do not take root well and freeze in cold winter.
PLate apple harvest
October is practically the last month of ripening late winter apple varieties. We should not delay harvesting, as overripe fruit will not be well preserved. The signal to start harvesting is the beginning of the fall of the first he althy fruit from the tree.
Winter covers
Before the upcoming winter, you should get straw or cardboard covers to cover newly planted or frost-sensitive species of trees and shrubs.
