How to plant fir-tree

The fir-trees planted along the road or border of the site look very accurately, close the house from public eyes in the winter and in the summer, considerably improve and ozonize air. Despite big prevalence of this tree, it quite badly take root at change therefore to plant fir-tree, it is very important to follow some rules.

It is required to you

  • - the sapling or seeds were eaten;
  • - earth;
  • - pot;
  • - shovel;
  • - water for watering.

Instruction

1. If you grow up fir-trees from seeds, get them from cone and wet for several days in warm water. Then prepare pot, drainage, fill the soil for coniferous breeds. Make the soil independently (for this purpose take 2 parts of humus and 1 part of sand) or buy it in shop. The most optimal variant – dig out lands under fir-trees in the forest. Plant seeds on depth about 1 cm, deeper landing will not allow them to arise. Put to the dark cool place, accurately water through pallet.

2. Begin to plant tree for the second spring. If you have decided to take fir-tree from the wood, choose young tree and dig out it with very big lump of the earth. Upon purchase of sapling pay attention to the size of root system - the cheerful top at the cut-off roots almost for certain will die. For example, the fir-tree 2 meters high has to possess root lump not less than 80 cm, and the top 20 cm have to remain together with grass. To plant import fir-tree, choose strong saplings with the packed root system, at the same time consider from what country they have been brought. The fir-tree from the countries with mild climate should cover the first years from frosts.

3. Begin disembarkation since the end of April yes of the beginning of May or in the middle of August – the middle of September when the first frosts begin. Dig out hole 20-30 cm deeper 15-20 cm more widely than earth lump. Loosen bottom on depth not less than 10 cm; if the place damp, make drainage layer of 5-7 cm of beaten brick.

4. Lower root lump in hole. Pay attention that for coniferous preservation of earth lump around roots as on roots there live the mushrooms symbiotes helping to acquire batteries from the soil is very important. The bared roots for fir-tree – as open wound, and the longer they will be open, the it is less than chances that the tree will take root.

5. Fill up gradually hole with mix of peat and the earth (1:1), stamping each layer towards the center. It is abundant water landing, do not feel sorry for water. Make "roller" that water after watering has not left around pristvolny circle and there was space for mulch. Fill over the earth layer of wood spill, sawdust and other mulching materials for protection of top soil against drying.

6. The first 2-3 weeks it is very abundant water fir-tree, moistening not only the earth, but also krone. If your tree is planted right in the sun, cover it with burlap or lutrasily in hot hours.
