A big disappointment for gardeners. The frost damaged the flowers and fruits of the fruit trees

When the savior Ale Mark walks through his orchard in summer, he registers damage to the small fruits of the apricot trees. It is an early Tsunami detachment, i.e. a whole hectare.

It was about minus one degree here. The fruits are damaged from the upper side, as the frost fell on them. Let’s hope it hits the trees, Mark comments on the situation. the codes are 100% quality. On the upper side of the small green apricots, spots are visible as the frost has eaten them. he didn’t completely destroy them, but they are obviously damaged. Their price will be ni if ​​they don’t fall. We’ll see how the fall in June goes, Mark thinks.

On the stubble above Lutava, he and his father also grow vests, apples, and grapes on 34 hectares. M here and vel ly. Trees that grow on a hill are better off than those on downhill slopes. Frost falls from above, melts down, which floods, points towards wandering Mark.

And he also thought about exchanging the early variety of apricots that ripen in red for apples. Half at pt year. What about the empty trees, he smiles bitterly. Even last year, this apricot didn’t harvest much, when the frost took care of it, the flowers melted. The trees therefore had a good harvest this year and bloomed profusely.

The problem is that spring has been missed twice in the last five years. But the flight was to go to the extreme. This year is an exception, the onset of spring was really fast. The apple tree began to flower in two months. The frost could damage them, as well as vests, Mark continues.

In the case of apple trees, it will be known within two weeks if the fruits and flowers are damaged or completely wilted. According to him, the news still looks old, but it certainly isn’t.

The fruits are immediately not the flowers

The situation is a little different in the Zlnsk region, but nowhere is it completely good. A few days ago, Sadak Denis Meznkov from Semetno was surrounded by beautiful blossomed vestica trees, leaves were falling from them in the wind, as if they were dreaming. But then she had to watch how the orchard was covered with real snow in a layer of about two centimeters. The temperature dropped to minus two degrees. And repeatedly.

It’s a pain. I don’t even want to guess how much, Meznkov lamented. Where there was a small puddle, it will be quite difficult. It remains to be seen, she guessed, about the late varieties that have flowered.

But it probably won’t be a happy sight. Mal fruits are frozen immediately, not flowers. When they are dewy, they are covered with a thin ice crust, which is blackened by temperatures and heat damage. The trees hadn’t bloomed so beautifully for maybe five years, it looked like a beautiful year. And he certainly won’t be that handsome, this Meznkov.

The situation is worse in Stlky, where Rostislav Kubek grows fruit trees. Namil there and minus five degrees. Most of the orchards on those hectares were completely destroyed by the frost, the one on eight hectares, but with young trees that do not bear so much fruit, about half. The flowers were full of flowers, the buds of the walls, the fruits of the vine. he can’t drive it full song. He decided the relief of the landscape and the location of the orchard. Where there was minus five, we were harvested, stated Kubek. Two degrees would be a tolerable ride. Damage would occur, but not complete.

One Kubkv orchard split between the fields where it was still cold. Although he planted bales of straw between the trees to drown them out a little, it didn’t help. I didn’t see a noticeable difference between the trees where there was no melting and where we were spitting straw, he pointed out. The kind of orchard reached the forest, from where the temperatures were not so low. According to Kubek, hundreds of species could ripen there.

Good only for mot

After all, it’s not going to be very good this summer, it’s actually quite the opposite. we expected a record number, but it will be fine, said Kubek.

he estimated the codes on the apple tree at fifty to ninety percent. And those who drink may have defects. The frost will deform the apple and then it will no longer be an edible apple, but a pumpkin, noted Kubek.

If the set produces fruit for processing, and not for consumption, the skin does not have to bother him so much. vests can still get into kvass. This is good at first for the tree owners who have them in the gardens of their family houses.

If the clothes freeze in the room, they will turn brown within a few hours and then fall off. Damage can be easily seen even on the merukch. It is not so obvious with apples. You can tell by the fact that they have broken black bones.

For breeders, the weak year also marked an economic downturn. And this one came to me half a year later, so many of them fell out last year, that it never started the fifth season.
