Injury to Fruit Trees by Mice in Iowa
The Horticultural Section of the Iowa Experiment Station reports that many fruit trees were girdled by field mice during snow cover. Unattended trees may die, but most can be saved by banking earth 2 3 inches above the girdled area to keep the inner bark moist and form new bark. An alternative is wrapping the wound with grafting wax coated cloth. Wax mix: 4 parts Rosin, 2 parts Beeswax, 1 part Tallow. Keep the wound moist and cover quickly. Protect trunks by mounding earth 4 5 inches each fall to deter mice. many young trees are destroyed annually without protection. A. T. Erwin. Ames, Ia.
