Orchard Gleanings on Mulch Use After Frosts in Orchard
The article advises applying mulch after the first severe frosts and leaving it until spring. It notes mulch protects roots from freezing and thawing, suggests wheat straw, oat straw, swale hay, corn straw, horse manure, brush, or seaweed as good options, and warns against too thick or too thin layers. In spring remove mulch from plant tops and bank beside them to prevent mud and preserve berries. Maine Department of Agriculture.

Tree with Crooked Trunk Scheme for Straightening Pears
A historic note outlines a method to correct crooked trunks in young trees including pears like the Bose variety. By making three parallel slits on the concave side before sap flow in spring, bark thickens and a bark wedge exerts force perpendicular to the trunk, gradually straightening the deformity. The technique must be applied early, as bark-wedges lose effectiveness as trees age.
Pruning Grapevines Best In Late Fall Or Winter
Pruning grapes should occur in late fall or early winter and never in spring. Spring pruning bleeds sap, weakening vigor and reducing fruit. Use only 4 to 5 buds or fewer on last season’s canes, keeping most fruiting buds near the main stem for best quality.
Mulching of Much Benefit in Orchard Cover
Mulch the orchard to protect soil through winter and boost yield. Barnyard manure is best, but coarse straw or growing mulch such as clover peas vetch oats or wheat also works. Do not leave bare. mulch prevents winter damage and improves soil health.
