In spite of the fact that on one place the honeysuckle can grow more than 20-30 years, it easily transfers change at any age. Even quite old plants quickly are restored and adapt to the new place in garden at observance of the basic rules of replacing.
Instruction
1. If bushes of honeysuckle have strongly expanded, became worse to fructify or the unsuccessful place for cultivation of this bush has initially been chosen, it is possible to correct situation change of plant. The honeysuckle quite well transfers replacing almost at any age, the exception is made, perhaps, by only very old plants with strongly developed root system complicating excavation of bush.
2. The best time for change of honeysuckle – the end of summer and early autumn, before frosts. The plant has to dump completely leaves, thereby having signaled about approach of dormant period. Spring change for honeysuckle is not recommended since at it too the sokodvizheniye period early begins and therefore adaptation to new conditions takes place hard and painfully.
3. The landing hole has to be prepared in advance and have a little bigger size, than hole in the same place of growth of bush. The bottom and walls of hole is recommended to be loosened carefully with pitchfork then to bring double norm of organic fertilizers. It is not recommended to use manure in pure form, ashes or mineral fertilizers since they can cause burn of the root system injured at excavation.
4. At excavation at young bushes it is possible not to make cutting of branches, it is rather simple to remove the broken branches. At strongly expanded bushes with age branches approximately on third of their length cut more than five years. The bush is accurately dug round from all directions, trying not to damage root system, remembering that the size of roots approximately corresponds to krone perimeter therefore the dug-out lump of the earth has to be the corresponding diameter. The bush together with lump of the earth is passed on strong tarpaulin, burlap or film and moved on the new place of landing.
5. Having placed honeysuckle in new hole, it is necessary to straighten accurately its roots and to cut off their damaged parts. After that the plant is watered and filled up with the paved way without strong deepening – the root neck has to be at ground level or is buried at 3-5 cm. Around the formed hole form low sides and once again carefully water bush. The Pristvolny area is mulched by layer of straw, peat, sawdust or humus. At the beginning of spring the replaced plants it is recommended to feed up manure solution or complex mineral fertilizer. The best fructification honeysuckle provides at rassazhivaniye of bushes on distance 1.5-2 meters from each other and in the presence in garden at the same time of several grades.
