A.C says... Ive got a twin grafted apple gala/ pink lady tree approx six years old which will not fruit if at all. I have pruned the tree properly and stll no difference.I would like to try this sincture method .The tree has flowered already this year and one fruit has set.Do you sincture the bark all the way round? How far up from the trunk do you sincture it? What type of sincture pattern should I use just a ring or screw pattern? Is it too late for this year? When should I do it? Honestly this is the last chance for this tree as I have the chainsaw ready to do its job.Thank you. | About the Author AC1 HILTON,5033,SA 9th November 2015 8:21pm #UserID: 8055 Posts: 103 View All AC1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Greg says... If the apple is flowering and not setting fruit, it maybe a pollination problem. Cincturing works best with over vigorous trees or trees that are heavily pruned and only push vegetative growth. Best timing to Cincture such trees in the Summer months. Best to alternate branches and do some trials at different times of the year. Good luck | About the Author Greg Kyogle 10th November 2015 10:25am #UserID: 3842 Posts: 8 View All Greg's Edible Fruit Trees |

Andy123455 says... I bought this great little tool a few weeks ago and have been playing around on a few trees that wont matter if I kill them but I am unsure if I am making the cuts deep enough. Should I be making a strip the same depth as you would for a marcot or do you still want to leave some of the connecting tissue in place? thanks | About the Author Andy123455 Cranbrook 13th March 2016 6:52pm #UserID: 13511 Posts: 2 View All Andy123455's Edible Fruit Trees |
