Following a vegan lifestyle means you eat lots of fresh, organic and healthy fruits. I have a smart and eco-friendly tip on how to protect your fruit trees during the rainy season. You can start by planning plots with windbreaks, using ties or iron pillars to support heavy branches, and pruning trees into cone shapes. Ensure roots are healthy by using balanced nutrition, drainage ditches, and organic fertilizers. To avoid fruit loss, harvest early or anchor big fruits. Following storms, be sure to remove water quickly, prune damaged branches, treat cuts using lime or copper, and apply foliar Ca–B–Zn (calcium-boron-zinc) and Trichoderma to rebuild tree strength for high-quality harvests. If there is dry weather before heavy rain, maintain steady soil moisture by watering moderately prior to expected rain since splitting of the fruit can occur as a result of abrupt water uptake.
