In variety of trees of coniferous breeds which are used in landscaping one of the leading places occupies fir-tree. The sort contains more than fifty types. These are evergreen trees with prickly needles, winged seeds and special, different from other coniferous trees, root system.
Instruction
1. The fir-tree can grow in the nature very quickly, especially in the first 10-15 years. Its year gain makes up to 40 cm. There is it because aged up to 15 years the tree of fir-tree has core root system. Then the core root stops the growth, and the root system changes.
2. The fir-tree transfers change well. The main thing, when replacing young tree from the wood on the site - not to damage core root. If the root is damaged, the tree will not take root and will dry up. Therefore it is necessary to dig out young fir-tree deeply and to put on the new place whenever possible quickly.
3. But even better change is transferred by krupnomer - trees are aged more senior than 10 years. By this time at the majority of the developed copies the core root dies off naturally, stopping the growth. Also side roots which form superficial root system begin to develop. Therefore in the forest it is possible to observe often the old fir-trees fallen by wind with the roots which are turned out from the earth outside. It is especially good to dig out adult fir-trees on superficial fertile soils.
4. Fir-trees which grow on slopes of the rivers about water or on open places arrange the root system under the environment. They, despite the lack of core root, begin to form so powerful and branched system of side roots that it goes deeply to the soil, like piles. To dump or dig out such tree it is difficult. They are not afraid even of the strongest wind.
5. In spite of the fact that the krone at fir-tree is quite volume, the root system which is branched very out and tangled is more than a krone twice. In this regard, the fir-tree needs the big area of power supply. Therefore if you want to replace adult fir-tree 3-4 m high to the site, in radius of 4 m it is recommended to put under it nothing. At change at adult fir-tree it is necessary to keep as much as possible side roots. It is desirable to leave all radical lump undamaged is guarantee of survival of tree on the new place.
6. It is the best of all to plant fir-tree on shady sites. These trees not just shade-enduring, but shade-loving. And still they love moisture therefore they mulch the soil in pristvolny circle own needles that allows to keep soil moisture for a long time. The root system of fir-tree best of all develops on clay and sandy soils. Therefore change has to be carried out to soil of this kind. But over time the tree can adapt absolutely to any soil and create the corresponding root system.
