Within weeks, the tree will redirect its nutrients and sugars toward flowering and fruiting.
Fruits should be larger, more abundant, and ripen more evenly.
Tips & Precautions
Only perform ringing on healthy trees; stressed trees may not recover.
Avoid ringing more than one main branch at a time.
Best done in early spring, before heavy flowering or fruiting.
Ringing is not suitable for every species—research your tree type first.
Why It Works:
Ringing temporarily blocks downward flow of carbohydrates and hormones from the leaves, forcing the tree to invest more energy in fruit development. This can dramatically increase fruit size and yield if done correctly.
