It is possible to plant saplings of trees in any time of the year, except for winter if plant in container. For saplings with the closed root system landing terms – in the fall and in the spring. With opening root system – narrower time period of fall and spring. Ideal time for planting of trees – fall, from the moment of falling off of foliage before soil freezing. Ideal temperature of the soil at which roots well take root: +4os.
What fruit-trees are planted in the fall
Fall – optimum landing time of saplings with opening root system or with naked root. Jumping time without binding to climatic zones – from the moment of falling off of foliage naturally till the soil freezing period. Having bought saplings with foliage, immediately tear off from it all leaves for reduction of loss of moisture through them and drying of the sapling.
It is good to put frost-resistant grades of apple-trees, saplings of pear, cherry, bushes of currant, gooseberry, raspberry in the fall. The root system has no dormant period, and by spring the saplings will manage to take root. If you have not managed to plant saplings before frosts, send them before spring to the basement, having packed roots into plastic bag with small amount of sawdust or sand. Or prikopayta for what dig groove of 30-40 cm in depth, deeper to the North in which you stack saplings krone on the South and you powder with the friable earth to tips of branches. In save saplings are stored before full defrosting of the earth in the spring.
What fruit-trees are planted in the spring
Not frost-resistant (some grades of apple-trees and pears, thermophilic apricots, peaches and sweet cherries, some grades of plum and cherry belong to them) it is better to plant trees with opening system of roots in the spring. It is better to prepare holes for spring landing since fall. Then you will begin landing of saplings right after defrosting of the earth until the soil is saturated with moisture. The period of spring planting of trees with the advent of the first leaflets comes to an end.
The basic rule of landing – the earlier put, the sapling and high probability adapts easier that will well take root.
In the conditions of the increased humidity plant tree on the hillocks prepared in good time since fall. Disembarkation them is carried out unambiguously in the spring.
Terms of landing of saplings with the closed system and in containers
Terms of landing of saplings with earth lump (the closed root system) are more stretched. In the spring the term of landing lasts before hot days if to carry out landing to cloudy weather, and to shade kroner of saplings with leaves, having thrown with white gauze.
Saplings with the closed root system need abundant watering within month after landing.
In the fall saplings with lump of the earth can be planted as soon as the heat falls down, without waiting for falling off of foliage. Saplings will require watering and shadowing. Other option is to tear off foliage on tree. Landing terms last before frosts in the fall. Terms of planting of saplings in containers – from early spring to late fall. In hot dry days it is better to refrain from landings. Kroner of the planted fruit-trees shade, saplings regularly water.
