A tree or who very many want to admire. It comes from North America, where it reaches 10-12 meters in height. Unusually beautiful. Catalpo managed to adapt to the conditions. Only landing and care for it in this region have their own characteristics.

Acquaintance with the thermal-loving yuzhanka

Most species have heart-shaped smooth bright green leaves. They are achieved in diameter up to 25 cm.

Did you know? In inflorescences, the Caplip has up to 50 flowers. The fruit of the tree is a pod-box up to 55 cm. They can be saved in some regions on the tree all winter. Flowers are a major extraordinary beauty of the inflorescences of white or creamy color with a pleasant smell. In shape they look like inflorescence.
The tree crown is very dense and wide, the bark on the trunk is a thin-fiber, having a tendency to crackle. Huge heart-shaped leaves, beautiful inflorescences gave the Mayan Indians inspiration to call him "Tree of Happiness."

The grass under the tree does not grow, a naked place under him, resembling Nimb, gave the ground to call the Catalpu "Heavenly Tree."

The same long pods gave reason to call this tree "Pasta".

Winter-hardy species

In the middle strip of Russia, Catalpa is ordinary, bignony-shaped, hybrid, spherical. In the suburbs, the most frost-resistant species, such as Katalpa, a magnificent, beautiful, unconcerning the Nana Bignonyoidal Capital Form of Bignonyaida Capital Nana.

The most frost resistant of them - katalpa Fine. It withstands the temperature drop to -40 ° C. In some parks there are trees older than 50 years. In the 1930-1950s, the famous breeding officer N. K. Vekhov has been very advanced in the subject of increasing frost resistance.
For the suburbs you need to approach carefully to the choice of varieties ,,.Flowers Catalpa Beautiful closer towards the end of June. From frost-resistant species, the Catalp Flowers is smaller, but the inflorescences are all the same large as other relatives. Leaves - brighter shades of green. Winter-hardy her species are poorly tolerant of heat and drought - their beautiful big leaves are quickly withering.

In the suburbs often reaches only 4 meters. But if you grow seeds and seedlings in the same region, to make trimming, shelter, feed, then the tree will delight all the beauty and sizes.

Application in garden compositions

It can be decorated with any garden composition. By virtue of the lowestness of the Katalpa in this region, it is rarely used here as a separate one. More often, the Katalpo makes part of the overall composition, combining with deciduous and.

They often form tracks, they strengthen the soil on the banks of rivers and lakes, small fresh reservoirs.

How to choose seedlings when buying

Choosing a place: soil and lighting

So that the tree does not give a greater increase in the vegetative period, the soil should be poor, p. Too quickly formed and large growth of the tree is subject to larger friction due to the fact that he did not have time to wait.

It is very important to choose the right place to land. The light and thermal-loving catalpe is better suitable solar, closed from cold winds.

Important! Caphata seedlings are very afraid of drafts.

Step-by-step planting seedlings

Katalpi seedlings can be planted in spring or autumn in the soil approximate to neutral. Spring planted less susceptible to frost. For such a pending tree, pit needs to be prepared in a couple of weeks before planting a seedlings. It is digging with a depth of 0.8-1.2 m and wide, taking into account the urine shape and sizes of the root.
It is necessary to add two parts of the leaf land into the landing ground for the katalpa, one part and two parts of the sand. If necessary, the fertile layer of the Earth can be added to the landing ground, 5-7 kg and, for example phosphate.

A pit is well shedding with water. It is necessary to pour a seedling immediately after landing, well peat.

Care with knowledge

Warming must be on time and in time is removed in order not to prevent moisture removal from the soil.

Watering

Watering a sapling should be regular - 1 time per week 1-2 buckets. Watering an adult tree is abundant, pouring up to 18 liters at a time. Watering should also be systematic - 1 time per week. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the moisture stagnation, the convergence. In cloudy weather to water if necessary.

Podkord

The seedlings of the Katalpi feed must not immediately after landing. After a year or two, it is enough at the beginning of the growing vegetation to feed them or a ravine at the rate of 1 l: 20 liters of water, throwing out 1 bucket of this solution under the seedling.

Adult tree needed 2-3 times over the growing season. At the beginning and in the second half of the growing season, the tree must be easily supported by 5-6 liters of dung fat in proportion with water 1:10 liters of water. They are brought once during the flowering period after watering.

Crown Pruning and Forming

In unacceptable kidneys can start. In this case, it is necessary to treat unaptive kidneys.

Mushroom genus Verticilli It may lead to a drying and death of the plant, arises due to poor drainage of soil and too large density. Systematic soil explosion and good moisture permeability are the main prophylactic agents from the appearance of fungi in the soil and infection by them by Caphata.

Despite the commitment of the tree in the climatic conditions of the Moscow region, Catalpa will decorate any composition, from her colors not to take the eyes, the thick crown will take place from the sun, the bizarre fruits will be transferred to the world of fairy tales, the cracked bark will hang fantasies about the tropics.
