Creating a fruit garden

Today we will talk about the intricacies of creating and maintaining our own fruit garden, about the set of interesting plants for him. And beginning story from bookmarks Garden. After all, it will not go through three months, as the gardeners will come hot spring time. And the theoretical training can be carried out in the winter while there is time.

Rules and deadlines for planting fruit garden.

Landing time depend on the state of plants and from the weather. In the central regions of Russia, the garden is best lay out early in the spring, when the kidneys on the trees have not yet been swollen. The earlier young trees will be planted, the better they will come. Bone plants - plum and cherry disembodied exclusively in the spring. Autumn planting of fruit is possible only with a favorable weather forecast for 20-25 days ahead. This period is required to adapt seedlings in a new place before the onset of frosts. Although in recent years, our winter will not name "Russians" - neither snow, no serious frosts, but here for young trees such "frills" of nature are very harmful: after a long thawing frost in 10-12 degrees harms even worse than snowy and stable Frosty winter.

Another thing is the berry. They bloom very early in the spring, it is only the sun to fit their kidneys. Even the soil still did not fully relieved, and they

already in the "green haze" stand. Therefore, they should be planted only in autumn. So, we make the first conclusion: the spring is planted to dissolve the kidneys, and in the fall, in the time of the leaf fall. Moreover, the leaves that have not yet fallen from seedlings are necessarily removed without damaging the kidneys at the bases of their cuffs.

Landing pits for fruit garden.

Landing Pits, for uniform roots development, should be rounded, with sheer walls. For apple and pears with a diameter of 100-125 cm, a depth - 50-60 cm. For cherries, plums, respectively: 60-80 and 30-40 cm. On dense soils, the pit makes it sewn by reducing their depths. There is an opinion that it is necessary to roll a layer of sand ("pillow") on the compacted clayeting bottom), and on the sandy - layer of clay. This is in vain work. The clay layer in sandy soil will not help to keep water, as well as sand in clay soil does not guarantee the removal of water from the roots. It will be absorbed into the sand layer, but at the same time accumulate in the landing.

For spring landing, pits are prepared from autumn, for autumn - in 1-1.5 months before landing. Pubs dugged in the fall are not left open, otherwise they are filled with melt water and in the spring for a long time they do not dry. They are falling asleep well-haired soil, but it is not compacted. In the spring, it will be enough to make a well to accommodate the roots of the seedling.

What to choose seedlings.

The seedling must have fresh, well-branched roots, no longer shorter than 30 cm. The more small roots survived when the seedling is digging, the more successful it takes on a new place. Notable to planting plants with frozen, dried and patients with roots (swollen visible).

The stem of the tree should be straight, with healed wounds, healthy and smooth bark that does not have mechanical damage. A good crown is the one that has at least 3-4 developed healthy branches, evenly aimed at different directions. From above, it looks like a three-four-beam star. There must be a direct central escape, which is called a conductor in gardening.

Landing age for fruit garden.

Now there are many opinions regarding better planting of the fruit. Some believe that the correctly planted 8-10-year-old tree is leaving nothing worse than three years, but immediately begins to give a crop. The tendency to buy seedlings "Aged" is a tribute to fashion, the desire to get everything to quickly, including the fruitful garden. Only now the results are often disappointed by the owners. The older the tree, the worse tolerates the transplant. And the fruit of European nurseries is "a cat in a bag" for our gardener. Although their advantage is that they are grown with a multiple transplant, so the root system is well developed. If such a seedling will take all the collisions of Russian weather, then it will be, however, maybe not long. The main thing is that the grade corresponds to the zone of its cultivation. And yet, good domestic 1-3-year-old seedlings, in a timely manner and correctly planted, slightly traveled in the timing of the start of fruiting from more adult plants placed nearby. Try and make sure that.

Transportation of seedlings.

If you bought seedlings with an open root system, then before transporting their roots it is necessary to pack in a wet fabric. Through to bite the polyethylene package and tie so that when transporting moisture is not evaporated. All leaves are removed from the branches, and the crown to bandage with twine and wrap the paper. Do not forget about labeling. The label is better to hang immediately, from the seller, otherwise the name of the variety will quickly forget. If everything is done correctly, then the sapling will preserve the initial freshness and will not suffer at all during the transport, even long. Plants left before spring in a touch inspecting for winter several times. They often damage mice-pools. To at least somehow save the tree from rodents, they are wrapped up with a small sweetheart. Crown branches are associated with synthetic twine.
