Repair a small branch of a fruit tree (sin)?




by Christophe » 19/05/20, 21:23

I accidentally broke 2 small branches of my greenhouse ...

They are about 10 mm in diameter but are not completely torn off.

Is there a chance to consolidate these "fractures" and if so by what method?

These are 2 branches which have already prepared around ten peaches each ... (I suppose that the weight of the peaches would have ended up breaking these branches naturally within a few weeks) ...

I broke them by rubbing mealybugs ... the tree being infected and it may have weakened the 2 branches? We can see them well on the first photo ...

Thank you

Right after writing this message, rather than letting the branches dry before having a solution, I made a quick makeshift repair thanks to the structure of the greenhouse, a rope and DIY sotch ...

But I have some doubts ... about biological efficiency! : Cheesy:

It's not bad, the fact remains that it is difficult to appreciate the biological continuity from the base ... Everything is played at the level of the conducting vessels ...

Well voui ... we can not just favor this continuity with a kind of glue or resin ... homemade if possible?

Should we be able to use the same methods as for plugins, right?

Any other ideas? : Idea: : Idea: : Idea:

No, you can only act on mechanical maintenance (immobilization online), but that does not guarantee metabolic continuity; it all depends on what remains at the level of the conducting vessels.

Ah? Heck ... I think there was a magic glue ...

Well, the branches were broken a few days (4 or 5) before the photos and without mechanical reinforcement ... the leaves had held up well, so I have more confidence for the rest ...

I'll let you know!

Whether the branches are straight or leaning at an angle does not change anything functionally, except that if it moves, it risks damaging what is enough to keep the end alive, so it was better to do something ...

There are so-called healing pastes that we use for fruit grafts ... From memory Pelton putty or healing paste lefort man

or:

You can find putty in specialized stores or garden centers. However, it is very easy to prepare it yourself. Here are some homemade recipes.

Saint-Fiacre's ointment: mix in equal parts clay and fresh cow dung; add water to make a paste.
Beeswax putty: knead beeswax to soften it and apply directly to the wound. The propolis contained in the wax also promotes healing.
Clay sealant: use as a mask by mixing the clay with rainwater. It is to be renewed regularly in rainy weather.
Wood ash: mix clay with chimney ash and water to obtain a paste.

And when I was doing this with my old man ... We didn't put scotch tape ... but a piece of cotton or linen cloth that we held with raffia

In short he was using glyphosate on the foot ... but on the tree beeswax and natural elements : Mrgreen:

The largest transplant in the world? And natural sivoupled! Crazy!

A bottle-fed tree!

Arbre_biberonné.jpg


This tree is located in Bükk National Park in Hungary. Many years ago someone cut down the thinner tree and they did not die.

The bigger tree holds it, feeds it, keeps it alive! Each spring, for years, their leaves have been growing together, enduring the heat of the summer sun, and coming to rest together in the fall.
