Install Banks Around Young Trees In Nov
The best time to install banks around young citrus trees is the day before needed, with November 15 often favored. Mechanical or hand methods work, but an experienced operator reduces tree damage. Sleeves with roofing paper are pricier but resist erosion and require little maintenance. Ensure clean soil and consider chemical treatments like chlordane or DDT to deter termites, especially for hand made banks. Some machinery may auto-apply protectants. soil quality remains an issue with mechanical banks. Sloughing bark is possible. sometimes a fungicide is used on trunks to guard against this.
