Dipping Roots Of Fruit Trees

Categories: Fruit Growing

In planting an almond orchard would it be of any benefit to dip the

young trees in a solution of bluestone and lime dissolved?



We doubt if it would serve any good purpose. If done at all the dip

should be carefully prepared in accordance with the formula for bordeaux

mixture, for excess of bluestone will kill roots. Healthy trees do not

need such treatment, and we doubt if unhealthy ones can be rendered safe

or desirable by it.
