The ate are common trees that are especially common in the territory of the CIS countries, as well as North America and Western Europe. It is worth noting that especially many dacnis attracts Serbian spruce, which is distinguished by its unusual appearance. We are talking about the total density of the tree, as well as a huge amount of cones.
I would also like to say that Serbian spruce has an unusual color: its top is brilliant and dark green, and the bottom has small light stripes. Such color and allows you to determine that this is the Serbian spruce, and not any other appearance.
Again, on the territory of the CIS countries, these fir sneeze with groups, which significantly decorates the landscape, makes it more natural and comfortable. You can also say that today ate is the best option for creating entire alleys.
Specialists noted that among the coniferous trees, Serbian spruce occupy the leading places. And this is actually true, as despite the above information, ate can be the most diverse, and often this diversity has a positive effect on the overall appearance of any territory.
Often the hosts are planted and one ate on the territory, and it also looks quite solid, because the Serbian look great with any territories and sites.
In this article, we will consider in detail the question related to the landing and growing of Serbian fir trees. Practice shows that these are quite unpretentious trees, but some subtleties and tricks still need to know.
Features of Serbian ate
Immediately it should be said that the Serbian fir is extremely often found, but in most cases it is about various private territories and similar areas, where the owners themselves decided to grow beautiful spruce.
Thus, this spruce is slim, presentable. Externally, this is a truly elite kind of ate, which will be in better way to combine with any surrounding objects. As part of the forest area, the Serbian spruce is also standing out.
The height of the ate can reach 20 meters, and the crown is up to 4 meters in diameter. Obviously, the classic Serbian spruce is characterized by high growth activity, so as part of a small area it will look gigantic. However, at the initial stage, when the tree will only begin to grow, it will be an amazing decoration of the site.
It is known that a fir will live for three hundred years, and every year the tree demonstrates an increase in 20-45 cm in height, as well as 15 cm in diameter. As for the shape of the crown, we are talking about a narrow-amidal and conical tree.
Separately, I would like to say about the cones. Their length is up to 6 cm. The most interesting thing is that at the beginning of its growth they have purple color than many people surprise. However, after some time, the cones become the most familiar - brown, but they still differ slightly from classic species.
Among the distinguishing features of the Serbian spruce, it is possible to note the intolerance of water stagnation. However, the essential positive side of the tree is excellent frost resistance. Even if the Extreme Frost on the street - Serbian fir will feel in complete comfort.
It is important to note that the dwarf form of Serbian ate is particularly popular. It is obvious that it has small sizes that allow growing a tree within the framework of the country area, or other territories where there is not much free space. Most often we are talking about whole compositions consisting of a variety of dwarf firings. It is necessary to recognize that it is often amazing compositions that, by the forces, create even summer houses without experience in such affairs.
Growing Serbian ate
Obvious is the fact that today many owners simply dream to grow in their plot Serbian spruce, which will very quickly become a real decoration of the territory, even if the rest of the site does not look better.
Accordingly, to grow fir, it is necessary to carefully analyze the question associated with the process of cultivation and its features.
- First of all, it must be said that Serbian spruce is not a demanding soil. Thus, even if the soil does not have a special fertility, the fir should still feel comfortable here. Do not forget that such undepair to the soil is rare, since many plants and trees need to regularly fertilize to get the qualitative result of their efforts.
- In addition, they often feel comfortable, if most of the time is carried out in the shade. Obviously, at least a little sunlight will have a positive effect on the development of Serbian ate. Thus, it is worth at least a bit of creating a variety of settings, as it benefits all plants.
- As for air humidity, then the fir manifests itself from the best side. It is worth paying attention to the fact that this tree perfectly refers to high humidity, so it is distributed under the CIS territory, where the increased humidity is a regular phenomenon. In the event that the territory differs with excessive dryness, then special problems should also not be. Experts note that Serbian spruce is better to carry dryness than other types.
- A lot of attention should be given to acidic soil. It must be pre-engaged. Moreover, the pit that landing will occur, it is advisable to equip with drainage.
Growing Serbian spruce from seeds
To date, on the basis of seeds, ate is grown not so often, but it is inexpensive and practical. Experts themselves note that this process is characterized by a certain complexity, but it is possible to get a qualitative result anyway.
- First of all it is worth keeping in mind that experts do not recommend using purchased seeds. The thing is that with this situation absolutely no confidence in the qualitative result. There is also a high probability that the germination will be extremely low, so attempts to plant a fir will be a lot. Accordingly, there are no problems in collecting fresh seeds yourself. It will be a guarantee that the seeds will be high-quality, and with a high probability everything will pass as quickly as possible and efficiently.
- The collection of seeds occurs in the fall - approximately in October or November. It is worth paying attention to the fact that it is best to go to a park or forest where you can detect a lot of cones. Immediately coming home you need to decompose the bumps on dry newspapers, and then drying happens.
- Already ready-made seeds need to be treated with potassium permanganate solution, after which their premises in the potted sand pot. To ensure the most optimal conditions for seeds, you need to put the pot on the door of the refrigerator. It is worth saying that such a situation is most similar to when the seeds lie in the cold in the forest.
- After about 3 months, the pot with seeds is advisable to get from the refrigerator to move to a warm place. It is worth choosing a plot with sunlight (it is best to install on the windowsill). In the event that such movement is manufactured in March, then gradually the day will increase, and the seeds will begin to adapt to the conditions.
It is also worth saying a few words about leaving seeds. Already when the seeds are in a pot, they should be handed over to watering, and quite abundantly. This allows you to better adapt them to real conditions (at the beginning of the spring it starts to melting snow, thereby increasing the soil moisture). In addition, you should not forget that the seeds need a lot of heat, so it is advisable to keep them on a warm window.
After about 15 days, the seeds give rise, it is at this stage that it is necessary to provide optimal irrigation, which will give exactly so much moisture to the plant, as needed. If you watered too often and a lot, you can not exclude that culture simply gets.
The care of spruses of ate is also an important question on which the future of ate depends on. Thus, irrigation occurs in moderate volumes (often only to maintain minimum humidity). It will not be superfluous than soil fertilizer. This process takes about 2 times before landing in the ground. Do not forget about loosening the top layer of soil.
Experts advise to handle shootouts of eating insecticides. This will protect the plant from the harmful effect of sunlight, and will not allow the perishes to die from some pests.
Specificity landing in the ground
It should be borne in mind that the landing should be done in the event that the street began real spring warming, which is distinguished by stability. Most often it may be a month when night frosts are finally passing.
It is also necessary to prepare a pit for landing seedlings. To do this, the compost is embanked on its bottom, and some stimulating mineral fertilizers are added. With their help, the fir will develop as quickly and efficiently as possible. If the cultivation is made correctly, then there are no fertilizers for fir and not need to be at all.
Thus, after preparing the pit, we lower the seedling, after which we fall asleep his land, trambra and water the right place. It is worth saying that the seedling is advisable to cover a cut plastic bottle. This will create a kind of greenhouse effect, so that the seedlings will be active acclimatization. At the same time it is worth remembering that there is always a need to ventilate the plant, since with constant finding under the bottle, the plant can quickly come into disrepair. Thus, every day you need to remove the bottle, as well as delete condensate from it. After about 6 days, you can be safely removed from the bottle seedlings forever. It will also be necessary to fall asleep mulch the soil around the seedlings.
The process of growing seedlings ate
Immediately it should be borne in mind that the cultivation of seedlings is quite a long and expensive process. However, a significant plus of such a solution is that this way can save time and faster to get an adult plant in the country area. But at the same time do not forget that much depends on the correctness of landing and many other issues.
Growing begins with landing in the ground, but it is necessary to first choose the most optimal place on which stable and high-quality care will be made. Do not forget about the preparation for the winter period.
Soil and planting ate
It is necessary to stay in more detail on the question associated with the planting ate in the ground. As we have said, all this is done in about May, when the earth is already a little fundamental. However, experts note that in the event that by this time is still cool, it is necessary to postpone the landing at about the end of the summer, or at the beginning of the sen.
As we have said, it is necessary to prepare a pit in advance, which will be planted by a future spruce. It should be borne in mind that if the planting occurs massively, the distance between the plants should be at least 2 meters. The depth of the holes should be about 50 cm.
If we talk about filling the pit, it makes sense to be sealing it with a broken brick (approximately 15 cm from the total depth), which provides drainage. After that, 2/3 of the pit is filled with a nutrient substrate, the composition of which is as follows: peat, sand, nervous land. It is also recommended to add about 140 g nitroammofosk to this mixture.
It is also worth saying that many people buy seedlings in containers. The landing of such plants in the soil should be carried out at the same depth, which was when the vegetation in the container was found.
The specificity of the cultivation of Serbian spruce from cuttings
Shining is a popular cultivation method that practically guarantees a positive result. However, in this case, numerous details must be followed, which will allow you to get a beautiful tree.
Locking cuttings occurs in the fall or spring immediately after cut. Specialists advise you to take cuttings from firings, from 5 to 8 years old, from which annual shoots are cut. It is also recommended to take shoots from the top of the crown, and the cuttings themselves must have a length of 15 to 25 cm. In this case, the needles of the cutlets are also cleared, and places in the greenhouse. Specialists advise to use a greenhouse, which has so-called fog-forming attitudes, since in such conditions the plant will delight active growth.
Directly, the cutting of the cutter occurs in a pit, the drainage of which should be about 5 cm, 10 cm is a nutrient soil. There must also be a 5-centimeter sand layer. In addition, it is necessary to use growth stimulants (or weak solutions of potassium permanganate). It is planted into the finished composition to a depth of about 5 cm at an angle of 30 degrees (a prerequisite condition). The distance between the cuttings should be about 10 cm. Immediately after the landing, it is necessary to make watering, and then the covering of future firing film.
As for the conditions within the greenhouse, the specialists advise the temperature of the soil of about 25 degrees Celsius, and the air temperature is about 20 degrees. It will be a huge advantage presence in a greenhouse of a special system for heating soil.
It is worth keeping in mind that the fact that in the spring and summer periods is carried out daily watering, which is so necessary in hot weather. Watering is produced using watering to the soil just moisturized. Also does not prevent the shading of the plant.
Preparing Serbian fir to winter period
For many owners, the question associated with the departure of plants in the winter is extremely important. Obviously, in the winter, the plant can get the strongest damage, so all those conditions should be created that enjoy the vegetation excellent in all indicators.
Thus, in the cool period, the organizational circles of ate with a qualitatively murdered peat. The same must be chewed to cover, for example, crafted paper. You can use some other materials. Obviously is the fact that such events are carried out only if the fir is still small, and it needs a certain protection against external harsh conditions.
Specificity Pruning Serbian Fir
The care of the fir includes and trimming branches. It is worth noting the fact that the tree gradually grow up, and if it is not possible to pruning one or another branches in time, the spruce can simply shift, or its appearance will not be so attractive.
Accordingly, it is extremely important to produce crowns, especially if the fir is used to decorate the landscape.
It's very simple: if one of the branches stands out against the background of others (it grows a bit not in the direction), there is a need for trimming.
Features of watering
Well, at the end, I would like to dwell details on the question related to Water Water. It should be borne in mind that large trees growing in a variety of conditions practically do not need to irrigate or in some other care, but small ate should still be submitted to regular watering, especially during periods of drought.
Experts note that if drossing weather outside the window, it is advisable to use about 10 liters of water for watering one fir. Also will have a positive and spinning crowns of ate. Almost after each watering, the soil can produce. If there is enough wet weather on the street, then there is simply no need for regular watering. In addition, you should not forget that they food themselves, are self-sufficient trees, therefore additional care for them is extremely rare.
