esoteric Morgan ...in awe of many things User ID: 77495320 United States 07/05/2019 11:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My 3 year old apple tree trunk snapped during straight line winds. It was hanging on by some outside bark. Thats all. I took a popcycle stick and duct taped the mortally wounded tree. Not only did it mend, it has the most apples this year, which is the 4th year....Amazing!! Watch the tree carefully. (I ran a tree service for MANY years.) Very often when a tree is at its most stress, often close to dying, it will have its most prolific, showiest season ever. What this translates to, for you, would be to do a good -to almost severe- pruning after it goes dormant...meaning, you allow the remaining energy to transfer back to its roots, then prune what seems reasonable off, so the next season 100% of that remaining energy (now transfered to root production, for the dormant season) returns in the spring to much less tree. Trees have the propensity to compensate, depending on the degree of injury they have suffered. That said, even a young main trunk could very well 'mend' itself...if we were to consider the rooted portion as a 'rootstock' that could be grafted...!although THAT'S NOT how grafting is typically waged. It all depends on circumstances being optimal, for each, um, circumstance a tree is facing. Love it, perhaps thin out some of this year's crop a bit ( to preserve more energy)...and use the time in-between to research fruit trees under stress. Whatever unfolds as time goes on, I hope your beloved tree proves a winner. _____ Oh...and make certain to change that duct-bandage when you realize that the trunk is growing wide enough to become girdled by the tape. Your initial 'fix' may take a while to mend, possibly into the next season. Consider this: the more rain you get any season, the wider the 'ring' of growth MAY BE that year (slope of land, water table, and other factors all taken into consideration). That said, the trunk could expand in kind with heavier seasonal rain. Just watch to see how your tree is responding.
