Apple tree borer attack linked to soil and training practices
A Valley farmer argues that healthy trees grown with vege t able manure resist borers better than those fed animal manure. He cites orchards planted on pasture with minimal plowing showing fewer borers, while heavily fertilized plots suffer frost sap injury that the borers capitalize on. He urges early training of young trees to low heads to shade the trunk, reduce wind damage, ease picking, and improve resilience for three to six years after planting.
