We plant fruit trees correctly!
If you have made a decision to plant fruit trees in the garden, you should think in advance about how and at what time the planting will be planned. It is necessary to take into account all conditions, including weather, soil conditions, and much more.
Fruit trees should be treated with extra care as they require more nutrients than other vegetation.
Let's take a look at some of the details, the knowledge of which should definitely help you in the future.
It all starts with the timing of planting - it is they that determine how successfully a particular fruit tree will take root in a given territory.
For example, deciduous trees are best planted at a time when the vegetative process is suspended for a while, that is, during a kind of break. Usually this is either early spring season, when the leaves have not begun to bloom, or in the fall after the leaves have fallen off.
The most favorable terms specifically for the autumn planting of trees are considered to be the period from mid-September to the end of October.
However, do not rush to take values for a constant, because everything ultimately depends not so much on numbers as on weather conditions. Autumn can be too short and cold if snow begins to fall in your region in October - it is better not to delay planting fruit trees.
As for spring, it is recommended to plant only after the soil has completely thawed and warmed up, otherwise you risk causing damage to the tree and it will not be able to develop properly.
As a rule, spring planting occurs in mid-April and early May, in most regions at this time the soil has time to thoroughly prepare for cultivation.
As for the soils of heavy, dense, in which there is an increased level of moisture, it is here that planting in the spring is recommended, in the autumn season it is not recommended to resort to this in relation to such soils.
A similar solution is optimal for places where the early onset of winter and snow falls, repeating - do not delay planting in order to avoid irreparable consequences for the plant.
Those trees and shrubs that are characterized by thermophilicity must be subjected to the planting process in the spring season after the return frosts have passed.
This is due to the increased sensitivity to low temperatures, so for the winter they just need to be properly protected from frost, using covering materials.
Planted in the fall, the plants will not have time to fully adapt to the conditions and in the harsh winter they will most likely simply die. Under no circumstances should you plant trees in the spring without first making sure that the soil is completely ready - in particular, if it is of a heavy structure, it may thaw more slowly, there are often frozen areas inside.
It should also be noted unfavorable conditions for planting fruit trees, prolonged precipitation, drought, as well as the above-mentioned frosts. At such a time, plants do not have the opportunity to immediately adapt, they experience great stress and stress.
If your goal is to plant coniferous trees, as well as evergreen shrubs, remember that you must strictly observe the timing - late spring, late summer or early autumn.
This is due to the fact that the plants must have time to take root by winter, during which the above-ground part must be enriched with moisture due to the root system.
As you know, the soil for planting fruit trees must be prepared in advance. Loosen, remove weeds, apply the required amount of fertilizer - all this is natural and necessary, without exception.
Provide drainage of excess moisture if the soil is waterlogged, also check for frozen areas.
In order to make it easier for the tree to settle down in a new place and it does not experience stress, it should be placed in a depression or container with water in advance - thus, the root system will receive the required amount of moisture and will not need it for the near future, hence it follows and great resistance to the transplant process.
If you notice that the tree has excessively long, tangled or mechanically damaged roots, then one way or another you will have to cut them off with a sharp knife, it is best to do it smoothly.
Remember also about the size of the hole in which the tree will subsequently be planted - its size must be sufficient so that it can freely spread the roots without hesitation in movement.
The roots should not be tangled and twisted, as well as kink and bend in unnatural shapes. Otherwise, the development of the tree may slow down, so take the time and prepare a suitable hole for your tree.
In the process of planting fruit trees in the garden, the summer resident must keep in mind many things, factors that sometimes have to be taken into account and thought out right on the go - if he wants to get a healthy and fruitful tree as a result.
Treat planting with care and attention, do not damage the plant in the process and provide it with access to nutrients, and also properly protect it during periods of low temperatures.
Good luck in this challenging but fun endeavor! Grow fruit trees in your garden with ease!
