Removing unnecessary trees from the site is quite a complicated task. Many people prefer to hire specialists for this, but know: as practice shows, it is possible to uproot cherries, cherries, plums or other fruit trees on their own.
How correctly to uproot trees?
So, let's find out how to uproot the roots of the cherry:
- First cut (cut off) the tree trunk, leaving part of the trunk - "shoulder".
- Dig a dribble circle to the depth of the bayonet bayonet or a little deeper.
- Using a strong stream of water from the hose, wash the ground in this circle to expose the roots. The diameter of the circle for a typical adult cherry tree is about 1.5 m. At some distance from the trunks circle, one more pit must be dug out, which will be joined by grooves with the first one. It is needed for outflow of water.
- Lateral roots (both large and small) can be cut with a saw or chopped with an ax. The central roots that go vertically down can be cut off by swinging a cherry with a large amplitude. If the tree is big and strong, use the technique - a car or a tractor, after tightly tying a rope around the trunk.
- Large roots can be extracted from the ground by a winch, the remaining ones will gradually rot themselves. This will take from 5 to 10 years depending on the thickness of the roots. If you have stumps left, then for their faster decomposition you can use such substances: potassium nitrate, urea, table salt, herbicide preparation "Roundup" , etc.
How easy and effortlessly to uproot the tree, we figured out, but how to remove the growth of cherry? The most effective way is to cut off young growth at the ground level. If you cut or dig it, it only stimulates the formation of new branches. And the best option is to choose varieties of cherries that do not give the seedling - these are varietal cherries on seed stocks.
