Thanks so much.

Very useful as I had this disease when getting an allotment.

Thank you so much for this 😊 There aren’t many videos to support less invasive practices. I live in the U.S., and can not get the Remin product. Can you please recommend a comparable brand that is available in the states? I would really appreciate it, I am having trouble finding a good recommendation for this. I found the seaweed, but not the Remin. Thank you again for all that u do and share for the trees!

Fantastic. Thankyou 💚 There's very little knowledge about treatments for bacterial canker, but this is great 🙏 So seaweed gives a good dose of molybdenum does it?

Yes it has Molybdenum in a reduced oxidation state which is also chelated. The Basalt also has a good supply in a reduced highly available form mineralised by soil bacteria and delivered to plant roots.

Thankyou. I develop bonsai and recently I've had some sort bacterial or fungal attack causing cankers on an oak and an alder I have, the oak I just chopped below the canker, the alder isnt chooppable as its close to the base. Id like to experiment on it to see if i can save it. Could the treatments you've outlined in this video help? I'm in west wales, the damp this year hasn't helped. I will spray them with diluted lime sulphur soon also.

Hi yes all woody plants tend to respond well to this treatment protocol. @@gromageindustries6745

Hello! Thank you for sharing this very helpful information! I have several young fruit trees with canker very low on the main trunk. It looks severe. I bought one tree like this unknowingly and it has spread. The rest of the trees look so healthy, but left untreated, in a year or two it looks as though the canker will eat right through the trunk. I will try this method (though I missed my opportunity to put down the volcanic rock). Do you think there is hope in saving the tree by using your suggested method?

Yes it can work and the tree may regrow from below the canker as well, if there is space

What a godsend this video is. Been researching for sometimes now. I have an ornamental Prunus, in a very sorry state. Is about 20 yrs old, came with the house and has a big canker wound 10 cm wide on the trunk. Cracked and jaggered but no more gumosis. Has all the nasty symptoms, gunshots leaves, spars & brittle branches, small flowers & leaves etc. There are many U.S. videos advising to use copper fungicide. Whilst I live in 🇬🇧, I cannot get that nor do I want to use toxic chemicals that harm wildlife. So thank your video. I like to ask, should I cut away the canker wound on trunk, back to healthy wood? Only because I noticed you didn’t cut off the infected branches in your video. And if I do need to cut out the big wound, should I need to apply tree wound paint? Any recommendations for wound paint, if necessary? Thank you.

I remove the cankered parts when the leaves are fully open in the summer. I do not use wound sealants as UV light can get blocked which can slow down healing.

Hi, I’ve got a citrus plant that I’ve gotten a few days back and it is dealing with canker. At the same time, it’s fruiting (the big pomelo are about time to harvest while the flowers and baby pomelos are starting to grow also) , how should I prune it or treat it to remove canker? I’ve also been thinking to prune the tree as it’s been too tall for my liking. It’s seems like so much stuff are cram together that I have no idea how to proceed. Please advise me on what to do. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your organic solutions! Is there a recommendation for how concentrated seaweed spray should be?

@chilternheritageorchards

The best is around 25ml/litre of spray. The max is 45ml/litre of spray

These cankers are usually covered with amber resin blobs, right? (Gummosis) Considering my orchards location, I do hope the cause is bacterial and not due to the sequence of extreme temperatures in Winter and Summer. Some trees have their bark cracked all over, from top to bottom, and it appears to me that lifted back may make them permeable for infections. But I don't remember seeing Gummosis on Apples or Pears. It's the Stone Fruit ones, like the poor Apricot, the Cherries and the Plum. Almonds come second. Should one conclude that horse manure does not cover for all basic nutrition needs including trace elements, then?

@chilternheritageorchards

yes canker can cause resin exudation. Horse manure is not ideal as it has very high nitrate and potassium content. This can promote the weak growth that canker can attack. Our nutrient protocols avoid this and promote high carbon calcium driven growth. See our other social media videos for details.

Hi my 3 years old cherry plant has the lesion/wound on the main trunk about 8 inches above the soil. Do I need to do these: 1) put volcanic rock dust into the soil. 2) spray seaweed solution the wound?

I have an established grapefruit tree that I'm told has canker and citrus greening. The quality of the fruit is compromised. The leaves have small spots. I'm not sure I'm seeing canker on the trunk itself. Will this method work on canker? Do you have suggestions on citrus greening. I'm in Louisiana.

The nutrient protocols we use can work on any trees to raise their efficiency and therefore their immunity. Trace elements in basalt are able to help plants to defeat pathogens including bacterial diseases such as canker and citrus greening.

Hi, May I ask what the grey coloured substance growing on the bark of your tree is please?

It is lichen a symbiotic plant/fungus which tends to grow in clean air and on less leafy trees

Did you cut out the cankers? I assume not. I have 2 huge cankers on my plum. One is in the main trunk... any advice? I will otherwise try the rock dust and seaweed fertiliser

@chilternheritageorchards

Жыл бұрын

It is best to allow new shoots to form with basalt and seaweed protocols and you may find you generate a replacement trunk. You can then cut out the old branches. This often happens with canker in stone fruit.

I have a young peach tree currently that is suffering from multiple canker sores on the trunk. Is it worth trying this method or should we call it quits since it's in the trunk, not just a branch?

@chilternheritageorchards

It always worth a try and sometimes you can get new shoots lower on the stem and cut off the trunk. It can take a couple of years to bring back a tree.

Can one use copper Oxychloride by adding it to soil as well as spraying the diseased part of the plant?

@chilternheritageorchards

Жыл бұрын

We don't use copper oxychloride as it is not part of the permitted organic Soil Association inputs we use. Also it is not really effective as it needs to be metabolised by bacteria in the correct oxidation state and this happens best in the silicate complexes found in basalt and protein complexes found in seaweed.

How much volcanic ash dust do you use per tree?
