- All the genus "life tree" includes 5 species. Thuja Kuban Emerald is a typical representative of the most popular species in the gardening of the Western Tui.
- Relatively new grade Kuban Emerald is an evergreen tall village with a beautiful pyramidal form and gentle "needles leaves."
- The height of the adult reaches no more than 2.5 meters, and the diameter of the crown is approximately 40-50 cm.
- The leaves of the young tree have the kind of soft green needles, which over time "converted" into more stringent scales.
- The pyramidal crown of the tree is characterized by the correct lines of the shape, with a dense uniform structure.
- Thuja - a monodomal culture with fruits in the form of oblong cishechs, inside of which the seeds of the winner are affected by autumn.
- Like all representatives of the genus, the garden form of the Tui Kuban Emerald with a pleasant coniferous aroma, contains useful essential oils and phytoncides, which enriches the surrounding air.

Where and how to buy saplings Tui Kuban Emerald?
- Buy seedlings of Western Tui Kuban Emerald can be in a botanical nursery or garden shop.
- Experienced gardeners recommend buying essential cargo seedlings in a container or decorative pot (i.e. with a closed root system).
- Thuja Kuban Emerald must comply with the stated description of the variety, be completely healthy and adapted to the local climate.
- The cost of Tui seedlings depends on many factors: region, specific nursery, seedlings.
- Most often buy seedlings by age 5-6 years. At this age, the plants are easy and painlessly take root on the new plot.
- By acquiring the saplings of the Tui, it is important to pay attention to the conditions of their content, the degree of moisturgenicity of the soil in the container, strength and elasticity of the needles. This means that the needles should be without signs of sickness and disease, and the soil in the pot is not overwhelmed or, on the contrary, moistened (with signs of constant stagnation of moisture).
- According to the reviews of many gardeners, the Thuja Western "Kuban Emerald" is characterized by the average growth rate, it is well tolerating trimming and is considered an extensive culture.
Thuja Kuban Emerald, landing in the ground
- The most favorable time for planting a young plant is spring (April or May), when completely passes the threat of return freezers. Saplings planted during this period are quickly leaving, they are less ill and rapidly rolled into growth. Outside the landing time is less preferable, since in winter a young rapid seedling can be frostbite and even perish. If the conifer is planted in the fall - it follows in its first half (in September, October), before the onset of frosts.
- The place for landing the car's seedlings should be chosen a bit shaded, without direct sunlight, windless. Sultry sunlight dehydrates the Tui tree, after which a weakened plant will be harder to carry frosts. Too shaded plot also slows down the development of perennial. In an open area, subject to constant drafts and gusty winds, the tree will be hard to endure winter stupus.
- Tui seedlings prefer a fertile, breathable and moderately moistened soil substrate. Almost a shallow arrangement of groundwater is also allowed, but long-term spring slender the plant transfers badly. Thuja grow rapidly and develops on drained moistened weakness or neutral soils.
- For the landing of Tui, the Kuban Emerald prepare the landing pit, in accordance with the sizes of the root system of the planting seedling (or the volume of the earth coma). For large instances of Tui, a pit will be required, a depth of about 90-100 cm.
- Drainage poured on the bottom of the pits, then the top layer of soil, mixed with wood ash or any other organic fertilizer. The soil mixture consisting of soil, sand and peat is also suitable.
- The competent planting of the Tui seedling involves the location of the root cervix plant at the level of the earth's surface. After landing, the land around the tree is plugged so that the air emptiness is not formed.
- Slowing out on the site several saplings of the Tui immediately, the distance between the copies is determined depending on the design plan. If you plan to make a tight green hedge from landing, the interval between seedlings is 80-100 cm, in another case, the distance may be greater.
Thuja Kuban Emerald, care
The care of Tuya Western Kuban Emerald is practically no different from the care of all the garden forms of evergreen trees. Watering, loosening, feeding and pruning are the main agrotechnical activities for the care of the Thuy.
Watering and loosening Tui Kuban Emerald
- Thuja Kuban Emerald is considered a fairly moisture-loving plant and needs a high-quality, regular watering at all stages of development (from a young seedling to adult tree). Although, temporary not long periods of drought, the plant is experiencing quite painlessly.
- Water plant depending on the frequency of natural precipitation. In the arid period, there will be about 2 irons per week (about 10 liters each), and with the onset of rains, the plant does not need to water at all. Watering trees is best done in the morning or in the evening.
- Tui Kuban Emerald favorably belongs to the irrigation of the crown. After such "water" procedures, the perennial branch becomes elastic, the needles are a brilliant, juicy green shade. In addition, after the sprinkle, all dust is removed, and the aroma, source of coniferous culture, is significantly enhanced. The spray of the green mass of the Tui is carried out several times a week, and in the arid period - even more often.
- The lack of moisture immediately affects the appearance of decorative "beauty". The top of the evergreen tree begins to yellow, the branches lose their elasticity, the leaves become paler than the usual, without a proper level of the turgora (sluggish).
- As they grow and the development of coniferous culture, the rolling circle must be periodically cleaned from weeding grass, regularly loose or climb wood sawdust. Painted wood sawdust or shells from nuts look very decorative as mulch. Mulch allows for a long time to maintain the humid soil microclimate, prevents the growth of weeds and makes an unnecessary soil looser procedure.
Making fertilizers and feeding Tui Kuban Emerald
- After the planting procedure, the seedling is recommended to carry out its primary feeding. To do this, it is recommended to use biological growth stimulants (i.e. environmentally friendly, natural origin drugs, by type, "epin"). This drug contributes to the rapid rooting of the seedling, improves the "immunity" of plants to many diseases.
- As for adult plants, the first feeding is carried out, as a rule, in the spring, at the beginning of the vegetative season. Potash-phosphoric fertilizers are optimally suitable as a spring feeder. It should be pumped twice, with a break in 10-12 days. Fertilizer is simply scattered around the perimeter of the priority circle and stirred it from the ground during loosening.
- The second feeder is carried out in the summer (from the second half of June - before the beginning of July). For these purposes, you can use ready-made nutritious complexes designed for coniferous crops ("Ferty") or organic fertilizers: manure, compost. All feedstocks are combined with watering.
Trimming Tui Kuban Emerald
- In the first 2-3 years of the life of the Tui on the site, the Tui tree is not cut, as it passes adaptation and rooting.
- Starting from the 3rd year of life, the plant needs pruning. There are several types of trimming: sanitary, forming and corrective.
- Sanitary trim Tui Kuban Emerald spend early spring (or autumn) when they remove all dried, frozen or damaged branches. Too thickened shoots can also be proper, but should not be allowed excessive thinning, as it will negatively affect the decorative appearance of the pyramid crown of Tui Western.
- Forming trimming is also carried out in the spring, about April. This trimming can already be qualified as a "haircut", as it adjusts the shape of the crown of evergreen culture. By means of forming trimming, you can design a variety of geometric configurations and forms (columns, trapezoids). For sufficient air circulation and maintaining the tui neat trampling, it is recommended to remove all the shoots of annual growth.
- Corrective trimming is carried out as needed (in the rustling of shoots that violate the crown-plated crown form).
Fighting pests and diseases of Tui Kuban Emerald
- In case of incorrect care of the Tui tree, when there is a frequent stagnation of moisture, there is no drainage, while the soil is low-permeable and dense, it is possible to rotate the root system and the damage to it with such a fungal disease as a phytoofer. In this disease, the plant in most cases die. To prevent the dissemination of the disease, the plant is burned, the upper layer of the soil is cleaned.
- Rust is a fairly common fungal infection, affecting the trunk and shootings of the Tui. To get rid of the fungus, it is necessary to remove all yellow shoots, clean the bark from the appeared spots, after which it is to treat all the plant by a fungicidal preparation ("Fundazol", "Hom").
- As a preventive measure, many gardeners do not wait for the appearance of signs of one or another disease, and annually, in the spring, treated with a tree with a solution "Fundazola". This measure allows the emergence of diseases and increase the "immunity" of evergreen culture.
- When the insect pests appear on the trunk or krone, insecticidal preparations are used (for example, "carbofos", "Aktellik", "Fufanon"). Most often, such pests may occur as: a wave, tie flapposist, leaflerting, web mite, turbo loudoad.
Preparation for the Winter Tui Kuban Emerald
- If the car's seedlings were planted in autumn, the rolling circle of plants should be binding on the winter with fallen foliage or sawdust. The above-ground part of the plant also need to be inspired by any observer material, for example, spanbonda. In addition, special covers for the shelter of plants for the winter period are sold in Garden Stores.
- Similarly, it is necessary to prepare not only young trees of the Tui, but also adult specimens of the species growing in the cold regions. Especially dangerous for evergreen perennials harsh and low-touch winters.
- In the spring, the entire observer material is removed so that the coniferous culture does not ban. In the case of predicting return freezers, the Tui tree is recommended to cover again.
The reproduction of Tui Kuban Emerald
Thuja Kuban Emerald breeds with cuttings and seeds. Consider the features of these methods of breeding the Tui.
Reproduction of Tui Kuban Emerald Cuttings
This method of breeding the Tui is considered the easiest and affordable, allowing you to maintain not only the time and forces of the gardener, but also all the characteristics of the variety.
- In the quality of the cuttings, glued to 40 cm longs are used. It can be 2-3-year-old shoots or a semi-densive increase in this year. Cutting cuttings, as a rule, in the fall, in the spring of the rooted escape to plant on the bed.
- The reproduction cuttings are cut in such a way that its base remains so-called. "Heel" - the remainder of the wood from the old branch.
- Sliced \u200b\u200bcuttings should be kept in the heteroacexine prepared in advance of the organic plant growth stimulator.
- The treated cuttings are planted into the container with a loose soil mixture. For these purposes, you can buy a ready-made soil or make it yourself, mixing in the same proportions of turf, river sand and peat.
- The depth of sealing of the cuttings is about 2-3 cm. "Shootings-cuttings" are covered with plastic bottles or placed a container in a greenhouse.
- The main maintenance of rooting cuttings is watering, spraying and ventilating.
- Before the spring planting of the rooted cuttings outside, they are pre-hardening. The procedure starts from several hours and finish, leaving the container outside during the day.
Reproduction of Tui Kuban Emerald Seeds
- To breed Tui with seeds, you will need at least 5 years to plant a young fastened seedling for a permanent place. In addition, this method of breeding does not guarantee the preservation of parental, varietal, signs of the plant.
- Tui's top (blue) cones form seeds that plant into the container or any other germination container. Ripen seeds in the fall, in September. To collect them, the bumps are folded in a warm dry room for drying, after which it is easy to collect ripe the seeds of the thuja.
- Care for seedlings is regular watering, periodic feeding and premises of seedlings for the winter in a cooler room. It is important to know that in the winter period, watering the plants almost stops.
- Practicing seeds immediately in open ground, but such landings should be well insulated on the eve of winter.
Problems in the cultivation of Tui Kuban Emerald
- If the Tui tree darkens the bark, and the lower branches begin to die - perhaps the tree was planted with the reeling of the root cerv. It is necessary to "open" the root neck of the seedling, freeing it from excess soil. After this procedure, the priority is recommended to be meditated.
- If the Tui leaves begin to shut up - perhaps the plant lacks moisture, and it needs watering and spraying the crown. Sometimes there is a yellowed foliage of foliage as a result of a burn with the straight rays of the sun.
- If the plant loses the form, radiates, and the branches become sluggish and look "lifeless" - perhaps for planting the car's seedlings was incorrectly chosen place. It is better to avoid too shaded areas, as the lack of sunlight oppressively acts on the culture.
- If the painting of the needle acquired an unhealthy SIZY Tint, the plant itself began to dying, and its lower part of the barrel became soft - it is possible to drop the roots of the Tui tree.
