Bobovnik: landing and leaving
This plant is from the southern European countries therefore it is exacting to climate and to the soil on which will grow. He loves the prime friable quality land and also the place where there is as little as possible wind. It is the best of all to put him where most of all sun. In shadow he will give very few flowers, and on the site blown by wind will not blossom at all.
Also laburnum does not stand stagnation of water in the soil at roots – it can decay and die, when landing it should be considered too. However you should not dry it too – the golden mean is necessary here.

How to land – solves everyone to taste. Someone likes single plants of bobovnik against the background of coniferous trees, and someone puts groups for bigger security from wind and cold. There is opinion that in this case they blossom better.
During blossoming of his bobovnik it is necessary to water moderately too, and after this great period it is better to remove flower brushes – so it will better blossom next year.
In the winter leaving is as follows: it is worth winding tree trunk with protection material that bark has not suffered from frost, and from branches periodically to shake snow that they did not break.
Delete the died-off branches in the spring and feed up nitrogen fertilizers. And in the fall just feed up potash and phosphoric fertilizers – so the plant will better winter.
