Diseases of fruits and nuts Diseases of fruits and nuts diseasesoffruits120smit Year: 1941 Diseases of Fruits and Nuts 153 sponsible for the beginning of wood decay. To prevent this trouble, trees should be shaped up as early as possible to avoid making large cuts. Heavy limbs should be supported by cables or wires, or, when loaded with fruit, with props to prevent breaking down. Broken, badly diseased, or dead branches should be cut off. All cuts should be made with sharp Fig. 80. Sporophores of a woud-deeuy fungus. (From Ext. Cir. 118.) tools close to the trunk or supporting limb, and no projecting stubs or torn-down splinters left. It is also possible to accomplish a good deal with trees affected with wood decay by treatment to prevent further progress of the disease and remedy damage already done. In the case of patches of wounded, injured or diseased bark on the sides of the trunk or large limbs, it is sometimes possible to cut this out, leave the wood exposed, and save the tree or limb if the lesion is not too large, say less than half the circumference. In such cases, the affected bark should be cut out with a very sharp tool, making a clean, even edge where sound bark is reached.
