Winter planting of large trees.
After building their home area looks bare and uncomfortable — it is not enough tree, including the single landings, which create a characteristic three-dimensional structure of the garden, form a special section of microclimate, protect it from summer heat and cold winds. To remedy the situation, of course, should these trees are planted. Planting material of trees of small size (usually height of 2-2,5 m) can be sold with open and closed root system. In the use of each type of plants has its advantages and disadvantages, but the main drawback of both — a long period of formation of tree layer at the site. In order to create a mature garden plot (and if space allows, then the park) in a short time, apply a special method — planting of large trees. It is also possible to perform in two ways — to put on the garden are large, specially grown in nurseries, ornamental plants (large containers) trees (they are usually limited to height of 3-4 meters) or spend the winter planting large trees (their height can reach 10 meters or more!) . In this case the trees are selected in the nurseries, and sometimes simply in the woods.
Adults trees grown in the forest, without preparation, as a rule, unsuitable for transplantation because of the specific development of their crown and root system. Prior training is dig rounding tree trench and filling it fertile ground. Next year cut the roots of a tree can be recovered and transplanted. It is believed that the diameter of the clod must be at least 10 times the diameter of the tree at a height of 1,3 m.
In nursery trees are usually immediately ready for transplant. Transplant large trees is theoretically possible at any time of year, but in the spring, and even more so in the summer, this process is very risky because of poor survival rate of the material. The most effective and successful transplantation in late autumn (with packaging clod boards, nets, etc.) and especially — in the winter, with a frozen clod of earth. Autumn tree digging the trench and left to freezing clod. In winter, it transported to a new place and put in pre unearthed pits. All winter, the plant is in a state of rest, physiological processes are slowed down, so the transplant is most successful.
Landing large trees - rather laborious process associated with the use of loading equipment, the most suited for this work crane xcmg, the cost of the tree markedly increases with its size. However, the efficiency of this method of landing, the resulting effect, guarantee a high survival rate of trees with a vengeance are paying the high cost of winter planting of large trees.
