By purchasing a land plot and constituting the plan of the future at home, it is necessary to think about the placement of trees and semi-stares, which are always placed in the first place. This is explained not only by the size of plants, but also a relatively prolonged period of growth to full bloom or fruiting. Of course, put all the decorative and fruit trees in the country area are impossible in virtue of a limited area, so you have to choose.
And when solving the question, what trees to put on the site, you need to focus on two principles:
- Growing conditions: demanding or unpretentious species;
- Main appointment, or place in the garden landscape (garden, livestock, single landing).
If we talk about fruit trees, the simplest care is required for an apple tree (especially if you purchase a seedling of local selection resistant to common diseases and pests). Of course, unpretentious varieties are not distinguished by high taste, but the trouble will not bring. But if you want to surprise your neighbors something exotic, then it is worth thinking about planting yellow plums, actinidia, walnut or peach.
Relatively decorative trees and semi-stares are the same principle. For example, for a living hedge, you can use wild grapes, honeysuckle or lilac understanding, with minimal requirements for soil-climatic conditions, and you can decorate a plot, juniper, barbaris or hawthorn, for which you need a little more attention.
If you decide to plant a tree at the cottage, then be sure to check the depth of groundwater. Very many trees like fruit and decorative die immediately, as soon as their roots reach water. Such trees include a pear having a deep penetrating root system. At first, the young seedling is actively growing and pleased the owner, perhaps it will even work out to try the first fruits, but then the tree begins to get quiet and squeeze. Inexperienced gardeners complain about the disease or poor-quality landing material and buy and plant seedlings again.
To plant trees really become durable, you need to take into account the requirement of each breed to growing conditions.

However, breeding does not stand still and many cultures are perfectly adapted in atypical regions due to sustainable suspicion. An excellent example of this is Apricot Manchurian and Apricot Siberian, which are suitable for growing in Siberia and the Far East. And at least such an apricot has a specific non-winy taste, it is quite successful in recycling.

Dates of planting trees and buying seedlings
Definitely answer the question when it is better to plant trees, it is difficult. It depends on weather conditions and a specific culture. The optimal duration of planting fruit trees from the group of seeds is the late autumn, and for thermal-loving bone crops, the landing is better to spend early in spring. The preferred age of seedlings is 2 years old, but for strollery crops (pear, cherry) it is better to use annual seedlings. The negative side of annual seedlings is not an formed krone, but they are less sick when transplanting and fastened.
Most decorative crops are planting in spring. Moreover, the strict framework "to the dissolution of the kidney" belongs only to seedlings with an open root system. The planting material with a closed root system (in pots or packages) is suitable for landing throughout the spring and even in the summer, but it is more expensive.
By purchasing seedlings on specialized exhibitions and fairs, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- In what form they are sold: seedlings with open and dried roots have small chances to take root on the site; good material is packaged in packages with a small wet room;
- state of the root system: roots must be smooth (without thickening), elastic and without signs of peeling;
- CZT state: kidneys must be swollen, but not dissolved;
- Height Star: For fruit 2-year-old seedlings about 50 cm;
Buy landing material is recommended in nurseries that are in each region. Only there you can make sure the seedlings and choose plants adapted for a specific zone. The varieties of fruit trees for the Moscow region and the entire middle strip of Russia are grown in Michurin fruent.
