How to care for coniferous landings

All boys, when growing, can survive without your intervention. They have a powerful root system that provides them with a sufficient amount of water. But as long as she has not grown, the first one and a half or two years of the life of a tree or shrub, it needs to be regularly watered, one or twice a week. On each plant, depending on the size, leaves 5 to 20 water buckets. In the autumn, watering is needed more active, in spring and summer - less if there are no strong droughts.

So that the roaster of the roots do not swing, use mulching. To do this, clean the earth from the grass around the plant. Then sprinkle it around the pine crust layer with a thickness of about 5 cm.

Also twice a year, the plant can be filtered, especially if the needles of yelloweets or branches are slowly growing. In stores you can find different feeding for conifers for autumn and in spring. Gently follow all instructions and proportions to the use of these drugs so as not to burn roots.

Frost These plants are fine, but sometimes the rapid branches can break under the severity of snow. To avoid this, bring them late autumn, pressing to the trunk.

And in mid-February, when the bright sun is returned, young trees can be covered, because the needles will easily burn out and yellow. Use the usual tarpaulin for this. It will be possible to remove it at the end of March.
