Planting Birch: Step-by-step instructions

With the acquisition of the country area, I want not only to grow garden crops, but also take place for rest. A gazebo or a bench in the shade of trees with a table - just what is needed to relax in nature. I want the recreation area to be comfortable and beautiful, so many daches are thinking about putting a beautiful birch on the plot.

Several beautiful thin birch trees with light trunks create a special sense of joy and even pride in their native land. Predated this tree was considered to be a symbol of Russia - a slim white birch trunk, thin branches easily pegs even from the slightest blow of the wind. Only for this it is worth putting this beauty on its plot. Who will decide on such a step - to plant a birch grove near your house, you need to know that the tree of birch is not only beautiful, but also very demanding to moisture. Rather, the birch itself will grow well and delight everyone with its beauty, not even requiring special care and making feeding, just the necessary moisture it will take from the soil, pulling the maximum nutrients. So if your household plot is not too spacious, think about watering the soil before planting birch.

What to take into account before landing

Planting a tree is a decisive step, but it is necessary to pre-fully think about the forever, for several years, and even dozen years. We will put the birch trees with a thin tree, but it grows in a result of a large tree that occupies a lot of space. Wait until the tree is strengthened and get a beautiful birch grove, you need a long time, so many inexperienced gardeners immediately plant a lot of seedlings without thinking about the consequences. So, an adult tree reaches in growth from 15 to 30 m, the diameter of the trunk is up to 7-8 m, and even more if the birch grows on an open, well-lit terrain.

It is not necessary to give up landing birches on its site, it is important to consider such recommendations:

  • observe the distance when landing: from a residential building or a barn it is necessary that the distance is at least 5 m, from the retaining wall - 3 m;
  • consider the location of communications: water pipes, sewer, heat seats and gas, as well as cable and drainage system - all this must be taken into account and withstand the distance when landing at least 3 m;
  • if tall trees grow nearby, then you need to retreat from them and put a birch at a distance of 3-5 m;
  • when flowing, the tree throws beautiful "earrings", which highlight allergenic pollen.

And this is not all if the birch grows near the garden crops, then from the north it will create a shadow. Will it be convenient for you or your neighbors? Considering the fact that the trees will begin to grow in width, it is necessary to abide by the distance between each seedling. Therefore, Sadim Berezu every 4 m.

In addition, if you have not had time to pay attention, this tree does not like the neighborhood with other cultures. If you look at the birch grove, then in it, except for the white trunks, you will never see anything else. This is another explanation that birch does not get along with other plants. If your plot is small, think about the fact that the result is only a beautiful birch grove, and plant other plants and garden crops will not succeed. And not only because birch does not like to grow next door to other cultures, but also poisons the ground for neighboring plants, taking all nutrients and moisture.

Features of soil preparation for birch landing

If you carefully look at the birch grove in the forest, you can make such a conclusion - the tree loves moisture and feels well on wet and cool soils. If you put a tree on an outdoor sunny plot, even short-term dry periods can negatively affect the growth of birch. Therefore, it is necessary to think well and choose a suitable place to land birch.

A fully shaded place for planting seedlings is not suitable, as the plant will gain strength and green mass. Birch landing is allowed on the shaded terrain, but only half. Choose a plot where even in the summer the soil remains wet and cool, and during the daytime leaves should be obtained enough light and heat. A good place to plant a slender beauty is the northern or eastern side of the house or any cozpostroy. Birch landing from Western or South side is not recommended that the sun does not overheat the soil.

It is not recommended to plant trees along the road, soil in this place is always dense and deprived of moisture.

If you have decided on the place, pay attention to the electric pipe, in a few years, when birch reaches a growth of up to 20 m, there is a risk that they may be damaged.

Returning to the quality of the soil, it is worth paying the attention of readers to such a nuance - an adult tree is capable of pulling out of the soil to 200 liters, and this is an average of 20 buckets of water. Can you imagine how much the soil around birch will be dehydrated? It is possible that the moisture will not be enough to other gloorous crops. Given this feature of the tree, it is necessary to take care of the organization of watering.

How to get a seedling in the forest

Not everyone has the opportunity to go to the nursery and buy a young birch, it can be troublesome and expensive. Another thing is to go to the forest and find a suitable option. If you want to grow on your summer cottage, a whittle birch of wild forest, then you need to dig a healthy strong seedling. Go to the forest in early spring when the leaves on birch have not had time to disperse. You can also find a suitable young birch in the fall, but in the winter it is undesirable to plant a tree, as birch may not get tight.

Come on a birch grove - select the dich of medium sizes, no more than 1 m increase, since the high trees are badly joining.

How to dig a seedling:

  1. The shovel need to wock the place around the young birch so that the roots did not damage. Birch is not too capricious and slight damage to the root system tolerates calmly, but it is better to do this job as careful.
  2. Drop the root code with a shovel from 3 sides, and then carefully and with pressure remove the tree from the ground. It is best to work in a pair, so you can definitely dig a good seedling and not damage the roots.
  3. You will need a dense polyethylene bag or bucket. It is necessary that on the roots of birches remain as much as possible. Together with the Earth, we put a birch in a bag or a bucket, we bind the rope and we transport in place of transplant.

How to plant Berezu

A place for planting birch is chosen, the soil is prepared (you can hide this plot in advance). Now it is necessary to purchase birch saplings. You can go to the nursery and choose a suitable tree (age, thickness and height) or go to the nearest birch grove and dig up a young tree. If you brought birch from the forest, then, most likely, this is a variety of classic wart birch, which reaches in growth up to 20 m.

You can do otherwise and not to do a big shadow on your site, but to choose a compact birch grade in the nursery. For example, the TRISTIS grade is popular from low-spirited varieties of tvatis. Beautiful "molding" crown with not a black barrel and rare foliage like many dachensons.

A few more types of dwarf birches are distinguished by unpretentiousness and grow even in urban environments: this is a molding birch "Youngii". Adult tree in height grows only 8 m, the branches rush down, almost to the earth itself. Birch resembles the form of the dome, its trunk is different from other species of trees (Lanciniata varieties, "Gracillis", "Crispa") a bright white barrel, peeling almost all year round.

The main rule of successful rising birch is the right planting of the seedling. It is necessary to choose a suitable day so that the plant will take root and pleased all year round. Therefore, on a summer hot day, it is impossible to plant a birch. The best landing period is the second half of October or early spring. At this time, a lot of moisture remains in the soil, and the sun is not so burning. Optimum temperature for planting birch +10 oWITH.

Not always the tree is coming up after landing, even if you take a large sturdy seedling. The secretion of the landing is that it is necessary to dig a village with a lore of the earth or buy seedlings in the nursery in small containers so that the root system does not stay for a long time in the open air and did not lose moisture.

Even birch landing in winter (seedling age - 6-7 years old), when the land of land is frozen, but it is only in rare cases. It is best to take care of the landing in advance so that the seedlove will take care of the spring and went into growth.

There are no special recommendations for the rules of birch landing, it is advisable to put a seedling after dinner, closer to the evening.

How to plant a birch:

  • after choosing a place, you need to dig up a shovel of a shallow pit to fit the earth and have not been damaged roots;
  • making feeding does not need, but birch will be grateful to you, if you put a few leafy leafy, peat, sand and humus in equal proportions into a pit. You can add a bit of any complex fertilizer, especially if the seedling is brought from the forest;
  • in the center of the pits, insert a seedling with a lore of the earth and gently trigge the soil;
  • seal the Earth around so that the tree does not lean. If the seedling is thin, then you can make a support and tie the rope to the trunk. So birch will not be tilted from the wind and will not fall.

Do not forget to pour a birch after landing. It is necessary to provide moderate watering from time to time (in a summer arid period - abundant) until the birch is rooted. In the future, it is not necessary to water the tree, a strong root system originally takes moisture and food from the soil. By the way, in the radius of 3 meters, do not attempt to use the soil by putting the grass or flowers or flowers - plants do not come true, as they die due to lack of moisture, but to ensure constant watering may not be all dackets.

If you comply with all the recommendations, then the next year you can estimate the result of your work and admire the beauty of the young birch.

Tree care after landing

The young village immediately after landing needs shading. You can provide protection from the Sun by any concerning material: sacking, branches of plants, nettle and even by any weeds. If you use the grass, then you need to cover the soil to the dinner, and in the evening dried dry.

In the first year after landing, a fertilizer can be added to the ground. The ammonia nitrate, a korovyan and urea suitable. At 10 liters of water, we take almost 2 kg of a cowboy, 20 g of urea and as much nitrate.

Pay attention to how the tree develops in the first few years after landing. Often young birch trees attack the rutoff mushrooms. These parasites need to be immediately removed, as wood may be damaged. The larvae and may beetles are very fond of the young roots of the tree. To get rid of pests, a shallow resistance is needed, during which it is desirable to manually choose the larvae of the beetles.

Often trees attack beetles Trubberbs that damage and eat leaves. If you have noticed these parasites, then the sick leaves need to be turned into, and the tree is treated with chemical solutions. If you do not want to spray the plot with poisons, then limit the damaged leaves, which must be burned immediately.

Do you need trimming?

In the usual birch of Crown develops evenly, so it is not necessary to cut off without the need of the branch. Some gardeners are achieved by good results, forming a crown of a tree even ordinary birch (it does not tolerate trimming). It is advisable to remove damaged and dry branches from the tree, and if necessary, when the tree reaches a height of large sizes, you can cut extra branches. This is done only after the flow rate is over. Wounds on the tree must be treated with garden harr.

Every year the value of birch increases, as you can proceed to the workpiece of the healthy health of raw materials.

For the workpiece you can use:

  • birch buds. The collection period from the beginning of January to the end of March. For this branch you need to cut off, tie into small bundles and cleanse from garbage;
  • young leaves tear off the tree in May when they have a sticky substance. Leaves need to dry in ventilated and warm room. If the drying rules are not respected, the quality of the leaves can be reduced;
  • lovers of Russian baths needed in July to start the workpiece of brooms for the bath, just the leaves will have time to dismiss and grow up;
  • barriest harvesting (thin layer of the cortex) for the manufacture of Taues (vessel for storing drinks), caskets and other products from Berestov begins in the late spring - early summer. A sharp knife needs to be considered the top layer of the cortex, and then dry the bark well;
  • the billet of birch juice - at the beginning of the spring, until they had time to bloom on the leaf trees. In order to get juice from a birch, it is necessary to make a snack with a sharp knife, the depth of up to 2 cm. A brought to do a small hole and insert the tube on which it will be flushing into the vessel (any suitable packaging). After collecting the juice, the tube must be removed, and the hole is closed with a wooden plug and smeared the garden. The collected juice is stored in a cold spot in glassware.
