1. Cracks on bark quite often appear at hard frosts on young trees, they are called frost cracks. The risk of defeat of bark and as a result of solar burn is high in the early spring. These damages it is necessary to process and prevent hit in harmful microorganisms, dispute of mushrooms and insects wreckers.
2. To avoid bark damages, it is necessary to take preventive measures. From frost cracks the autumn binding of young trunks fabric helps. In this case the risk of frosting and rupture of bark considerably decreases.
3. From spring burns the whitewashing of trunks lime solution helps. However it is necessary to carry out it in due time – no later than the second half of February beginning of March, in later terms it will do more harm, than advantage as white color slows down sokodvizheniye. That lime is better the bore to trunk, it is possible to add clay or paste welded from flour to solution.
4. Before whitewashing the trunks of trees need to be cleared of moss and lichens, having used for this purpose plastic scraper, blade or brush. Carefully cleaned trunk needs to be whitewashed on height 1-1.2 from ground level.
5. To protect tree from rodents, it is necessary to cover bark with mixture of resin and animal fat in the fall, to tie bunches of mint, elder to tree.
6. If, despite all efforts, on tree there were cracks, it is necessary to process them soap and cindery solution or solution of copper vitriol at once (100 g of vitriol on water bucket). Then to remove with sharp knife outgrowths, to even the edges of wound and to close up cracks slaked lime, clay lime mortar or the garden thief.

Periodically the compress needs to be moistened with water. This method helps with cases when the area of defeat not really big and the sokodvizheniye is partially kept.
9. Otherwise the inoculation is required by "bridge" to connect two parts of trunk. For this purpose surface of the smoothed-out wound close the shanks cut lengthways, cut to tree, the ends of shanks need to be sharpened and inserted under bark above and lower than the place of defeat. Then the trunk to tie with fabric and to fix by twine or insulating tape.
