Competently and correctly planting trees is a guarantee that the garden will please not only with its appearance, but also bring a good harvest. But inept actions will lead to dire consequences, since most of the trees are quite difficult to tolerate planting and replanting. Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable place for future plants.
In the process of determining the place where garden trees will be planted, it is required to take into account the chemical composition of the soil, the biological nuances of tree species and varieties, the relief, climatic conditions and the surrounding landscape. For example, planting fruit plants is best done in loamy soils.
However, knowing the secrets of proper soil cultivation, planting trees can be carried out even on unfavorable soil. Usually, this will require the correct selection of mineral fertilizers, timely feeding of trees, enriching the land with useful minerals and taking a number of necessary drainage and reclamation measures.
The most favorable time when planting trees will be successful is the period of biological dormancy of plants, which occurs in early spring or lateautumn.
Plant breeding work includes the preparation of planting holes, which are done in advance, if spring planting is necessary, although it is more correct to dig holes in the fall. Seating places should have a rounded shape, and their size should correspond to the type and parameters of the planted tree. When preparing the pits, the depth of the groundwater, as well as subsidence of the soil, should be taken into account.
For planting trees, seedlings up to three years old are better suited. It is necessary to inspect the root system of young plants well, remove rotten, damaged areas with secateurs or a knife, and spread he althy roots around the entire perimeter of the pit. Having lowered the tree into the hole, it must be carefully sprinkled with earth, slightly shaking the plant. Thus, the soil will better fill the voids between the roots.
Further, the earth around the trunk should be compacted, and a hole is dug along the circumference of the pit. After the planting of trees is completed, they must be watered abundantly. To further facilitate their care, the soil around the plants must be mulched. In addition, this measure will protect the root system from drying out and better retain moisture in the soil.
However, not only fruit plants are the decoration of the site. Decorative coniferous and deciduous plantings will look great near the house.
Planting ornamental trees at their summer cottage has never hurt anyone. But it should be borne in mind that deciduous plants can eventuallygrow and begin to shade the area, preventing other green organisms from developing. The undoubted advantage of deciduous specimens is their unpretentiousness to growing conditions and care, they quickly take root.
Coniferous trees lag behind in growth rates, but are in no way inferior to their deciduous counterparts in decorative effect.
