Briefly about growing and leaving
Planting a conifer in the country can be produced from both seeds and a seedling. If you are new to landscape design, it is best to buy a sapling, which is already 3-4 years old, as to grow a tree or shrub from seeds - the occupation is very troublesome and long.
Planting conifer better in advance fertilized soil. It is also important to know that they are not friends with close soil waters. To transplant them to the ground is best under the winter, in September-October. It is also important to consider that over time they will become more, therefore it is worthwhile to give them enough space. By the way, you need to mulch the soil today, so you can collect it and use it for the decor on flower beds, beds and mixlers.
The care of them is usually limited to an annual feeding and irrigation. Decorative plants first need watering two or three times a week with hot weather and twice a week in the offseason.
Living hedges and Topiaria require haircuts, with which you can set interesting forms to crowns can be created using a haircut. Almost all plants, especially dwarf, can be transformed in this way.
