Why did this herbaceous one rivet such a huge number of summer residents' eyes? There are a couple of explanations, and they all lie in the description of the variety. Western thuja Holmstrup is an evergreen shrub cultivated as an ornamental plant. A tall tree with a crown in the form of a regular cone has:
- slower growth rates.
- high level of resistance to cold weather.
- a large number of use cases.
Following the characteristics, thuja "holmmstrup", in photographs on the Internet, for all twelve months retains the dark green color of the needles in the form of scales. For herbaceous, multiple branching of branches is inherent, making the crown quite dense and decorative.
Thuja is planted in the soil at different ages. The older the seedling, the faster it grows to the size of an old tree. However, planting large growers is a challenge for real professionals.
Most often, a herbaceous plant needs at least ten years to grow upwards by one hundred and fifty - two hundred centimeters. In this case, the width of the tree is sixty centimeters. With an annual vertical growth of up to fifteen centimeters, the herbaceous plant needs a lot of time to reach its maximum size. With this option, the growth reaches three hundred to four hundred centimeters, and the diameter of the compacted crown reaches eighty to one hundred twenty centimeters.
Herbaceous is not demanding in cultivation and agricultural technology. Thuja tolerates without great damage:
- cold in the region of twenty-nine - thirty-four degrees.
- cultivation near roads and factories, where the air is filled with chemical elements, exhaust and other negatively affecting compounds.
- pruning, helping to maintain the figure and decorative appearance of the crown.
These characteristics rank the tree as an important herbaceous plant in landscape design applications. Having planted a tree on a dairy, backyard, suburban area, there is no doubt that thuja "holmmstrup" will keep its style for a long time without losing its beautiful appearance in the winter season and in the summer season with the scorching sun.
Tuya Holmstrup: planting and caring for the variety
For planting thuja Holmstrup, gardeners prefer areas with a sufficient amount of sunlight, sheltered from cold and strong winds and having partial shade.Being in partially shaded parts, the herbaceous can lose its inherent appearance. The crown is transformed into a more rarefied, elongated one. The needles become dull, react worse to changing weather factors and seasons, and are usually attacked by fungal diseases and parasites.
For a favorable growth, shrubs need light loose soil. The best option would be cultivated or compacted soils mixed with sand and peat. If a thuja "holmmstrup" seedling is placed in too heavy soil, its root system does not have the required amount of air and nutrients. The compacted earth leaves a large amount of liquid for a long time; when stagnant, it contributes to rotting of the root system. With this option, it is impossible to cope without the help of a drainage layer fifteen to twenty centimeters thick, made on the bottom of the landing hole.
These rules must be taken into account when choosing a site for planting a selected grassy one.
For western thuja Holmstrup, the size of the planting hole or hole depends on the dimensions of the underground section of the seedling. If he has a closed root system, planting and agricultural technology behind the herbaceous "western" "holmmstrup" is much easier.
Usually, for grassy planting holes are made sixty to eighty centimeters deep and this width. The soil for the rash is made in advance by mixing:
- one piece of sand.
- two pieces of sheet soil.
- one part of lowland peat.
To stimulate growth, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers are added to the soil. You need to look at the acid level. The recommended pH for herbaceous and similar varieties is four and a half to six units.
A seedling, cultivated in a container before planting, should be thoroughly moistened, removed from the container and moved to the surface of fresh fertilizer. The distance between the walls of the planting hole and the lump of earth is filled with pre-prepared soil so that the root collar is not covered with soil. Then the soil is tamped, moistened and a layer of mulch is made.
When planting herbaceous roots with an open system, it is necessary to carefully distribute the root system, spreading them along a cone that has been poured out of the ground in advance.
After disembarkation, agricultural machinery for the grassy "western" "holmmstrup" contains:
- constant hydration, enough to reach the root system.
- necessary weeding under young trees.
- loosening the top layer of soil.
- fertilization using special mixtures that stimulate the development and growth of shrubs.
- preventive and formative pruning.
Although a lack of moisture is harmful to the shrub, a lack of moisture contributes to the death of the tree. Therefore, on especially hot days, young shrubs are moistened every day, for old herbaceous they increase the regularity of moistening, sprinkling and making a layer of mulch using peat, sawdust, and dried grass are abundantly used. Before the onset of the winter season, young shrubs are tied up and covered so that the snow does not harm the crown.
