Fruit and Vegetable Pruning and Planting Tips from American Agriculture
Anty Septic is the pear tree relative to prune blighted branches and wipe cuts with a knife. Corrosive sublimate is named as an alias. Whitewash with lime and soft soap plus crude carbolic acid reduces injury from rabbits sunscald and pests. Cool ashes before using as grape fertilizer place away from vines. Dig shallow trenches for roots then add ashes. Ground for radishes needs rotten manure and fine texture before sowing seed. Plant after ground is ready and thin if too dense.

In sections where bitter rot occurs the disease threatens apple growers. It varies in virulence by year, sometimes destroying crops over large areas. It rarely harms early apples but attacks limbs forming sunken cankers that release spores. Remove cankered limbs, prune, and paint wounds. Spray four times next season with Bordeaux mixture. Ensure chicken fence posts stay sturdy to prevent damage.
