Q. After I prune a diseased plant I
feel that I should sterilize the pruners
to prevent spreading the contamination.
What is the best way to do this?
A. By all means
the pruners should be sterilized after such use and after any use at all healthy or sick plants involved. They should be sharpened each spring so that the cuts they make are straight across and not a squished mess. The 'blood vessels' of a plant go through the stems so you need a clean cut straight across.
When pruning diseased branches such as
those with fireblight sterilize the tools
after each cut. Dip blades in rubbing alcohol
or a solution of one part bleach to 10 parts
water.
