Many people think that if you put a maple, he will begin to grow by itself, but it is not. In order for, the tree has grown beautiful and growing correctly, it takes not only to care for him, but also to comply with special rules.

Rules of growing maple on the site

Maple is a beautiful and bright tree, so that it has grown beautiful and transformed into beautiful bright colors, it is worth knowing the features of this plant.

Maple grows well in the shade, since the sun's rays take his wonderful and natural color. Also, the tree does not tolerate a large number of moisture and love good sad. Therefore, before you plant such plants, you should familiarize yourself with their preferences and take the landing very seriously.

So that the tree grew well, in the soil add a lot of humus, turf, some sand, and a small amount of acidity. As we already know that Maple does not like moisture, but in hot summer days he needs water, and it should be a lot. Try to water him at least once a week, if there is an opportunity, water more often. When the soil lacks water, the tree begins to grow badly, so you use ten - twenty-liters of water to one tree.

Soil need from time to time to pouch on the middle depth and be sure to remove weeds. In the summer, when the soil is processed, add to it Kemiru, and in the spring, feather the plant with urea, superphosphate and potash salts. And about once a year, in the spring, the land is desirable to mulch peat.

How to crop maple

Pruning maple, this is a very important procedure. Many argue that the trimming of the tree is carried out in order to, the plant no longer grow, but there are other reasons. Awesome wood cut, so that the branches with strong wind and bad weather, did not rub his friend about his friend and thereby they did not destroy the leaves. Also, such a procedure is necessary, in order to remove dry and sick branches.

Basically shorten the top of the tree and trim branches. At the same time, you need to know that it is cutting off only bad branches, still undeveloped and dry. This method will help grow new young and healthy branches.

There are three ways to trim:

• The resulting method is when the appearance of the crown and the nature of the growth of branches are formed;
• Second look sanitary trim. In this case, the method is removed by bad, sick and dry branches;
• Rejuvenating method of trimming. At the same time, we restore the old branches and give the opportunity to grow new.

It is important that the cutting of the maple occurred from September to December. Since spring tree begins to flourish and highlight juice, because of this poorly reacts to circumcision. Therefore, if in such a process there is no need, it is better not to do this. Exceptions may be in cases if you need to urgently form a crown and cut forward branches. But in any case, do it is quite rare.

In order to, crop maple use special scissors and cut the plant under a small angle. Such a small tilt is needed in order that the juice that will be stand out during circumcision has not accumulated and if it is suddenly raining, the water is not stood on the branches. If this is not done, various diseases may appear on the tree and start the branches.

The distance between the cut and the kidney must remain two millimeters. If everything is right, the branch will have a ready appearance, at the end without hemp, and the bottom kidney will not dry with a very heat and will not die on a strong frost. Another important moment The fact that the maple trimming on time is removed thirty-five percent of the growth of last year.

It is important to observe all the rules of trimming and then the maple will grow beautiful, very beautiful plant.

An important link in a number of trees care measures is crown crown. Pruning is produced throughout the life of a tree.

Young trim trees It is necessary for the formation and rapid development of the crown, more adult to maintain the form, old for the rejuvenation of the crown. Trimming trees is a complex and responsible task, especially at the first stage, when the crown shape is only created.

Competently clean the trees a whole science, you do not need to try to master it by himself, grant this to those who, by the nature of their activities, can do everything you need to trim and strip. Pruning should be carried out with understanding how the tree reacts and responds to each slice.

Incorrect trimming can cause damage that will remain at the tree for a lifetime, or significantly root it.

For fruit trees, competent cropping It will help at times to increase the fruiting, but the wrong will deprive the fruits for many years. For decorative trees And trimming shrubs is completely different, giving decorativeness, an increase in flowering time, sometimes the combination of plants in wood or shrub groups. During the work, it is necessary to take into account the biological peculiarities of the plant: the natural form of the crown, the prospect of its development, the type of branching and so on.

It is important to remember that not all trees react positively on trimming.

Well tolerate:

• acacia White,
• beech,
• elm,
• hornbeam,
• sprawling
• willow,
• maple is a yaseline
• lipa, Juniper,
• aspen,
• locust,
• poplar,
• western Thuja
• apple tree,
• clean fluffy.

Poor tolerate:

• birch,
• catalpa,
• kishtan Konsky,
• maple ordinary
• sharp maple
• ledge
• larch,
• fir,
• mountain ash,
• pine,
• cherry
• clement ordinary.

Do not require trimming: Males, evergreen barbaris, quince Japanese. IN uncircumcised They appear in front of us in all their glory with flowers and fruits. This also applies to Daphne, Hammamelis, Evergreen Hyftsmen, Kizylnikam, Rhododendron, Bobobnik, Magnolia, Oaks, Knias, Skumpies and a number of other plants.

Shrubs easier to divide into two similar couples - consistently decorative slow-growing and fast aging. It is clear that the first need only sanitary trimming, and the second is regular rejuvenating. It is possible to include rhododendrons, beacons, kizylniki, Gamamelis, a snowy year, who, due to uniform growth around the perimeter, form a durable beautiful bush at a consistent decorative slow-growing shrubs. Fast-growing shrubs, and above all blooming on young shoots, require regular crown updates. Systematically removed several old branches to young shoots or completely. And there are several observation shoots, but not allowing the thickening of the bush. The most clearly reflects this group of the Chubuschik, Roshovnik, Currant. Plants requiring annual solid trimming on long-term wood to obtain bright shoots or large foliage: derente white and offspring, wood, belt, brush, Iva.

Causes for trimming:

Since each cut branch can change the growth and decorative value of the tree, no branch should be removed without a weighing cause. Conventional causes for trimming are the removal of dead branches and bits, removing the branches and removal of hazardous branches.
Pruning can also be the goal to improve the penetration of light and air inside the crown or under the crown of the tree.
For shrubs, this removal of a row, molding trimming for longer and lush flowering. To make decorativeness formed cutting forms, pruning is simply necessary.

The shrubs branches are cut from the earth itself, leaving an approximately equal number of young shoots. Deciduous wood species planted by groups are cut off so that they do not deprive each other air and sunlight. Wood breeds with spectacular coloring young shoots rejuvenate every year, which makes it possible to constantly admire their beauty. Wood breeds requiring annual trimming, divided into three groups Depending on the flowering time, and on what shoots they appear flowers.

To the first group These are plants blooming in early spring On the old and last year's branches. They still have all the weak, intersecting and non-blooming branches, as well as shortening too long. The main trimming is carried out after the end of flowering so that they can grow new shoots that can grow to bloom in the next year. The rocks of this group include Forzitions, some types of spirits, almonds, plums, rockets, dogs, etc.

To the second group Believe plants blooming at the beginning of summer on the old and last year's branches. They usually shorten on 1/3 thick branches in order to cause the growth of new side shoots. Typical representatives of this group of decorative apple trees in the first years after landing, rowan, hawthorn, some types of barbaris, currants, Tamarix, etc.

To the third group include plants flowering in summer And in the fall on young shoots of the current year, for example, Buddudlei, some spirires. They are cut in spring briefly, depending on the nature of the plant, removing old and weak branches.

Trimming timing:

Choosing a trimming time, we can stimulate vegetative growth (spring) or aging branches and bookmark the side shoots and flower kidney (summer). Traditionally it is believed that the trimming is carried out in early spring, that is, in March - April. This is definitely true for fruit breeds, but not suitable for a number of decorative. Spring is suitable for sanitary trimming, since the state of the branches is well noticeable. Pruning at the end of winter and early spring is carried out since the cessation of frosts to the dissolution of the kidneys. It stimulates the powerful growth of shoots, coincides with the natural rhythms of plants.

Pruning at the beginning of summer, during the growth of shoots, serves several goals. Conducting an operation in the period when the active seeping is completed (deploying leaves), suitable for Lian and tree breeds, "crying" spring (birch, marsh, nut, chestnut, cherry, cladrasteis, mulberry, etc.). For breeds with spring blossom, pruning is widely used immediately after its completion, which stimulates the growth of shoots and bookmark on them floral kidney. Such forzing or decorative plums. Summer trim holding back vegetative growth. It can be actively used in the sample removal of individual branches, until August. Summer is a time for "green operations" with shoots (chipquarters, etc.). Consider, the more often approaching the sektor to plants with an active growth, the less the overall volume of work. Plants that very early begin the growing vegetation, such as honeysuckle, currants and flavory, most convenient to trim late in the fall.
For flowering plants The trimming time is especially important. Shrubs, blooming on last year's shoots, such as lilac and dating, require tenderloin of the blooming shoots in summer and light sanitary trimming in the spring. And shrubs blooming on the shoots of the current year, for example, hydrangea and spiria, buddha and tamarix are strongly cut down early in the spring to enhance the growth of young shoots and larger flowers.

One of the most romantic groups of plants is springwenty trees and shrubs. They are usually cut after flowering, removing the blurred shoots for better growth of new ones. If forsy or spirire gray cut early in the spring, we simply cut all future flowers. The same is the case with popular now decorative terry plums or almonds, cherry. In the summer, after flowering, the action, Exokhord, Collection, Spiraea, Ostrophalu and Wangutta, Stephanandru and Weigel, also cut off.

Special groups of plants:

In the despicable birch, marsh, nut, chestnut, poplar, mulberry, grapes, actinidia. These breeds may have a strong sagging during injuries and better transfer such operations after the leaf is dissolved in spring or summer. Spring trim dangerous for them. Most often cut out only dry and unsuccessful shoots.
Such a group of plants, like Liana, is cut in early summer. It is necessary to wait for the ending of frost and dissolve the leaves, and then trim and straighten the shoots on the support. For them, summer and late-year-old trimming may also be required. Fruit Liana Require a strong and detailed special trimming.
Special trimming techniques require grafted crumpled trees, and above all willow. After flowering, they are necessarily cut into the horizontal plane by the type of umbrella, otherwise next years Blossom will be held mainly on Earth.

In a separate group in relation to pruning allocate coniferous plants. There are few species carrying ordinary trimming or haircut. This is tees, thuja, partly juniper and ate. When growing other breeds, only light sanitary trimming is used. Manage the form of the crown is possible due to the segments during the growth of young shoots. At the same time, growing soft tips are not cut, juicy shoots at this time with bending easily break. Especially carefully needed to follow the main escape, the top. It needs to be protected from damage: when the lateral shoots are lost reluctantly take a vertical form, and the barrel will lose straight. Upon abundance of nutrition and moisture on the top, two leader escapes may also appear. One of them is completely cut out completely.
When caring for crowns of wood-shrub plants, molding, sanitary and rejuvenating trimming is used.

Forming trimming:

It is carried out to ensure the uniform location of the branches, giving the crown of a more attractive appearance in accordance with the natural, characteristic of this type of form and aligning the height of the tree. Molding trimming, including the sepure and shortening of shoots, shaping and thinning the crown.
At the young age, the tip (no more than 25-30% one-year increase) is produced for one two, sometimes three top kidneys of highly growing shoots. The september supports the desired crown shape, ensures the equilibrium of the crown and root system, stimulates the formation of flower kidney.
The molding trimming of the living hedges and curb borders is made to give them a given decorative form. Trimming or haircut produced several times over the growing season with regard to biological features Plant development.

The first after planting a haircut is made in the spring at the beginning of the vegetation in May-early June. At the same time it is cut up to half the growth of shoots. During subsequent haircuts, as plants grow, you can cut up to 2 \\ 3 of the average length of shoots.
To correct the living ingreders, squeezed out from the bottom, you can cut off the entire above-ground part and leave the hemps with a height of 5-10 cm. The sections are cleaned and smeared the garden plug, the soil around the plants is shredding with fertilizers. Shortening of shoots is made at a young age to create a uniformly developed crown. Slemboranty rocks (apple, linden, etc.) are recommended to remove 20-50% of the one-year increase. Such shorting is developing empty or compact crowns, contributes to the formation of strong shoots from their middle part.
Sleeping crowns by severe trimming provides physiological and biological correspondence of the crown and root system. With this trimming, it is removed to 2 \\ 3 of the lengths of oppressed, weak, drying and closing one other branches or their parts.
Pruning is produced by a slash cut "on the ring" at the base of the branch over a healthy kidney. The bottom point of the cut should be in the plane of the base of the kidney. The separation of trimming depends on the nature of the trees and their kind. Slow-growing species (linden, maples, etc.) cut off once every two or three years, usually shortening annual gains.

Sanitary trim

It is carried out in order to remove old, damaged and intertwing bans and branches and excessive stones, the creation of better ventilability and illumination of the crown.
The following order of sanitary trimming is recommended:
-Exination of large, drying, cleaned and growing in the crown of branches;
-stelling one of the branches close or rubbed each other, and the weakest is removed;
-Engthen the branches growing up (under an acute angle to the trunk).
Sanitary trim is carried out throughout the growing season.
Large branches are removed in two receptions. The first spice is made in 20-30 cm from the trunk at the beginning from the bottom to the middle, and then a little further from the barrel. The threshold unnecessary shoots are removed "on the ring" at the very base.
In connection with the death of Cambia, at the base of dry branches, the cutter is possible to produce to healthy wood. To prevent the formation of rot, large sections are wrapped with garden mask.
In the summer spend and trimming a living hedge. First of all, dry hemps, dry sprigs remaining after the wrecks, especially inside the crown, and only then hang a young current increase in the height for your hedge. If necessary, spend the side trimming, giving a living fear of the trapezium. And you can form various figures from the vertical shoots - pyramids, balls, a wavy surface.

How good in the summer heat to hide in the shade of a thick spreading tree! In its own site, I often want to get such a "shelter", which would be well protected from sunlight, and was beautiful decoration Lawni, and in terms of care was not too whimsical.

So why don't you try to grow maple? These beautiful trees From the family of maples are loved by many of us since childhood: songs and poems are folded, weave autumn wreaths, and the pointed multicolored leaflets in the form of palms are used for various kinds of creativity. So why not get such a beauty in your own garden?

Of course, many gardeners can immediately express their doubt: adult trees can reach 25 meters altitude, the crown grab will be 15-20 meters! Of course, for a small garden plot Such giants may be bad idea.

But male is a tree that has many species and varieties, some of them are very small and decorative, nevertheless, not losing the charm of major fellow.

Almost all kinds of such trees form thick, embossed and even openwork crowns that perfectly protect from the sun, wind and even urban noise. In addition, they are beautiful at any time of the year: in summer, their saturated green paints, and in the fall - red, pink, yellow and orange! To all other, maples also excellent honeycombWhat can also become a determining factor when choosing a new garden tree.

Maple care and cultivation

So, you finally decided, but the important question appears, how to grow maple in the garden? Of course, there is a common opinion that, in principle, it is unpretentious and easy to care a plant that practically does not require attention: planted and this is enough.

The share of truth in this is, but still there is a certain series of rules and recommendations that it is important to perform not to ruin young tree. So, it is important for you to decide on the new "place of residence", because the maple grew up healthy and strong, it is very important for him where to start his life path.

In priority - the pre-satellite places, under the right sunlight, it will also grow, however, it grows up all the variety and brightness of the leaves.

Next, you need to prepare the ground for landing: in principle, the usual garden is suitable, but much better if it is pre-processed and add humus. You can use and special soan mixturesHowever, their composition, in many respects, will depend on the specific type of representatives of maples.

Landing need to produce in spring or autumn, depth landing pit For a small seedling - about 50 cm. So that the plant gets better, you can put a little mineral fertilizer on the bottom of the prepared pog.

As for the care, everything is quite simple here: such trees are capable of carrying drought, but she significantly affects appearance Leaves and crowns in general. So if you planted a tree for aesthetics and his decorative view, It is very important to provide him with a proper and regular amount of moisture: about 20 liters for the entire arid period.

Young plants may need and doubled the dose of moisture. After a good irrigation, do not forget to loosen the soil around the tree well, regularly remove weeds so that the planting zone is not tight. In principle, that's all the basic rules.

Pruning maple

It is also an important moment, and those who think that it is necessary is very mistaken to reduce the growth of the tree. This procedure may be necessary in forming purposes: with the help of simple manipulations, it is possible to change the nature of the growth of the branches, which is very important under the decorativeness of the garden.

In addition, pruning can be sanitary, that is, intended for removing dry and sick branches, as well as rejuvenating, which is necessary for the growth of young branches.

Usually pruning is carried out in the autumn months, it is this period that is considered the most favorable for such a procedure. For example, in the spring, trim branches are undesirable due to active infection, and in winter the tree is in a hibernation, and therefore it does not tolerate various trimming.

It is necessary to carry out such a procedure using a special secaterator: branches are cut at an angle so that the juice does not accumulate on the sections.

What types can be landed on the site?

• Ostroland maple. It is his all that we all know well, it is most often found in our latitudes and European forests, has sharp five-pointed leaves, which, depending on the color of the year, change the color. It has many varieties and remains extremely spectacular almost at any time of the year.
• Maple silver. It is also well known to us, from the previous one is distinguished by a special silver color from the bottomside of the leaves. This species is characterized by powerful, but rather fragile branches that are easily broken with strong wind.
• Red maple. Came to us from Canada, where it grows in enough raw places. Suitable for cultivation in our latitudes - winter articles and rarely reaches a height of more than 20 meters.
• Japanese. It is quite clear from the name, from where he came to us - an unusual form of leaves and crowns always attracted gardeners and collectors. However, it must be said that this species is one of the most capricious and difficult to care, especially in our areas. But the beauty of the result is worth it!

Many believe that it is enough just to plant the maple on cottage plotand he will grow by itself. To some extent this statement is true, but if you want to get beautiful treecapable of transforming your plot, follow certain rules for care of the maple.

Features of growing maple on the plot

Maple grows quickly and prefers penumbraSince under the right sunny rays the leaves can lose its bright color. The tree is poorly tolerated by the granted place and very demanding to the composition of the soil. Therefore, to the place of planting a tree must be suitable with all seriousness.

IN soil For high-quality growth, maple should have a large amount of humus, turf and a bit of sand. Acidity There must be a small - pH 6.0-7.5. Maple is demanding for moisture, so in summer time It is necessary water A sufficient amount of water is at least 1 time per week. It takes about 10-20 liters of water to one tree, since the growth of the tree slows down on poorly moistened soil.

After watering the soil around the tree, it is necessary to loosen well on a small depth and giving the weeds. In the summer, after processing the soil, it is recommended to make Kemira, and in the spring feed Tree urea, potash salts and superphosphate. Once a year, preferably in the spring, the soil around the plant should be mulched peat.

Maple trim - Important procedure

Trimming Maple also has an important meaning. The misconception is that this procedure must be carried out only to stop the growth of wood. In fact, trimming makes it possible to prevent abrasion of the branches of each other. The procedure is also needed to remove damaged, patients or dry branches.

The basis of the maple trim is the removal of the top kidney or shocking the branch. At the same time removed underdeveloped, thin and weak shoots. This allows you to prevent the spread of infections and contributes to the growth of healthy branches.

There are several types of trimming:

• formingat which the crown shape is created and the nature of the growth of the branches is changed;
• sanitary trimat which patients are removed, drying, as well as broken branches;
• rejuvenating trimmingwhich is necessary for the formation of new shoots in older trees.

Crumpled maple is carried out from September to December. Due to the strong desolation of the early spring, this procedure is undesirable, and after the leaf fall, the maple does not tolerate any kinds of trimming. Therefore, if there is no particular need for this procedure - you should not resort to it once again. An exception can only be the need for the formation of the crown with an uneven increase in the shoots of the tree or the thinning of the branches. In any case, the maple trim should be carried out as less as possible.

The trimming of the branches is carried out at an angle using a special garden knife or a secateur. A small tilt is necessary that the juice does not accumulate on the place of the cut or during the rain, water was not stood (which could lead to the rotten or damage to the diseases of the branch). The distance between the cut and lower kidney should be about 2 mm. In this case, the branch will have a finished shape, without hemp at the end, and the bottom kidney does not dry during the heat and will not freeze in frosts. When cutting maple, about 35% of the growth of the previous year is removed.
