Advantages and autumn planting bugs fruit

Gardeners with experience equally well planted fruit crops and in the autumn and spring. Yet the autumn planting is preferable for several reasons:

• Autumn sale is always a huge selection of quality seedlings and roots of seedlings can be assessed health;

• Fruit trees and bushes in the autumn plant easier, and usually missing one watering on the rains;
• The root system of the fruit planted in the autumn plant will develop, until the temperature drops to +4 degrees;
• All of the major pests during the autumn planting are already preparing for hibernation, so no damage to young plants, they will not cause;
• Seedlings take root in the fall, so the spring, they immediately begin to flourish and excel in all spring seedlings. In addition, during the winter young plants are hardened, and far better than the spring, tolerate extremes of temperature and return freezing.

In central and northern regions, too, can be planted fruit trees and fruit bushes in the autumn, but the trunks of saplings under the winter will need to hill.

Danger autumn planting is that the seedling can vymerznut winter. But this only happens if the gardener made a grave error:

• correctly configured landing;
• planted unacceptable in this sort of region (south);
• low quality seedling with frozen or dried-roots;
• crop is planted before a period of rest.

And most importantly - to plant fruit saplings only during the rest period. In the spring it is very short, from the moment when the soil is thawed and before the sap flow, and the fall is much longer - after leaf until the plants are gone into hibernation.

Least of all the plant is subject to winter ills in a state of rest.

What fruit suitable for autumn planting, and which are not

The most important thing to a sapling planted in the fall, could take root. Therefore, the longer the crop takes root, the more chances of seedlings did not survive the winter.

Stone culture take root longer than pome, so they are recommended to be planted in the spring.

For autumn planting are excellent:

• apple and pear (hardy varieties);
• raspberries;
• currant;
• gooseberry;
• honeysuckle;
• chokeberry.

In the middle lane in the autumn planting pome safely. Stone will survive, if they are lucky, and their spring planting. In the south, all the planting in the fall (or in the early spring - at the end of the calendar winter) and nothing in the spring, because the heat quickly begins.

For planting fruit trees is ideal autumn seedling at the age of 1-2 years. These are the winter best. Buying sapling, you should check that all the shoots were woody, matured, with good kidneys. The three-year seedlings, nothing good!

The younger the seedling, the shorter and thinner than its roots, the easier it will take digging and planting from the nursery to the new location.

That is, the smaller the roots, the less they hurt when digging and the better they will take root.

planting time

You can not talk about specific dates for the autumn planting of fruit crops, especially now that the climate is changing.

The general rule is: the fall of fruit crops planted in two or three weeks before the frost (that is how much you need to rooting). Gardeners look at their environment, but in most regions of apple, pear and fruit shrubs can be planted until late October. The air temperature may even be negative, but it is important not to soil chilled on root depth.

The soil should be soft, not petrified.

-5-10 degrees seedlings absolutely care less, though regionalized, although Golden Delicious. If they ACS and without leaves, and if they are properly grown PCL (they do not need to break off the leaves and the plant can be at least in December, if not break the root ball).

But if because of frozen ground seedling could not settle down, I could not grow into the roots into the soil in the winter, particularly unfavorable for the plants, he vymerznet with great probability.

How to dropwise seedlings in autumn

If it is clear that with the autumn planting for all terms gardener was late, and seedlings obtained better their prikopat.

Seedlings dropwise under strong inclination, so two-thirds of the barrel closes the ground, and the rest of the snow, and the seedling is stored until spring in the refrigerator. Dropwise need in a place where the spring is not exactly a puddle after the snow melts, it is also important to Prikope place and place of future landing thawed at one time, that is certainly not in the shadow of buildings or fence. Since the fall of the need to spread the poison mice, well watered and shelter spruce branches and stamp down the snow in winter.

To the creation of as much as possible working of the refrigerator, so I sprinkled in winter Prikope snow, the snow layers prisypaya sawdust and pritenit spunbond.

autumn planting technology

How to plant fruit crops in the fall? Here are step by step instructions:

• Make a planting hole in accordance with the recommendations for a particular culture. It is very important to follow all of the recommended size, the plants did not suffer from tightness.
• Fill the hole with a mixture of selected soil humus or compost, wood ash (by adding sand, if necessary). With the fertilizer industry and peat have to be careful.

Fertilizer at planting make very carefully, they can burn the roots. Or a separate layer of neutral soil and does not make, and when the trees come to life, you can make to punctures. Peat acidifies the soil, before making demands deoxidation. And the sand is neutral and is very useful for clay soil - the roots will go on its strata.

• Place in the center of the hole peg, to which will be attached to a sapling. This point many miss, but it is important to protect the seedling against the wind, to preserve it during the spring snowmelt and other local natural disasters.
• Submit seedling with ACS in the pit, as shown in the diagram, by controlling the position of the root collar (it should be flat at ground level).

•  sprinkle the soil, compacted. It is important to avoid the voids between the roots and the soil. Seedling with MCS just put in a pit covered with earth and trample it around the coma. Some experts recommend doing the landing pruning, some advise that you wait until spring.

• A day after landing how to water the plant: 5 buckets of water for small seedlings, 10 - large
• Zamulchirovat tree trunks. Recommended layer of mulch - 5-7 cm.
• To save a sapling from mice, a number of pieces of decomposed old boots soaked in creolin (sold in all stores gardening)
