How to grow a cedar of nuts

Coniferous plant grow from a seed - employment difficult and, at first glance, quite senseless, from the category of "train and play." Softwoods sow if necessary a large number of planting material, for example, hedges or rootstocks (the amateur gardeners who have seriously keen selection). But, oddly enough, who want to grow out of cedar pine nuts quite a lot. Although the cedar in the prime grower forces, most likely, and will not see it as a user FORUMHOUSE consultant says Waldschnepfer, "Step into eternity."

Waldschnepfer (User FORUMHOUSE):

But it is a step into eternity! Trees are living (if not cut down) is much longer than humans.

But if your goal - not pure creativity, if you are not so much attracted to the process of getting a tree from seed, it is better to try other methods.

thuja - easily by cuttings (stalk break out from the "promenade"). In this reproduction process arborvitae retain grade.

Pine and spruce in the forest provide a rich self-sowing - you can go to the nearest forest and asked where to dig up seedlingNot to harm the forest.

Cedars and blue spruce sold in nurseries, are worth quite a bit, but allow the gardener to win three years.

If you want to get seed independently, just put a lump in the room, so she opened her scales and then gently pour the seeds. By the way, if you want to sow the seeds of the cedar, it is necessary not to buy nuts, namely, bumps, and then naluschit of these seeds. The fact is, nuts are often formed of cones by heat treatment, and such seeds for planting are not suitable.

In coniferous plant propagation really important to remember is this: coniferous plants, propagated by seed, varietal characteristics are not saved.

Cultivars are propagated vegetatively.

It does not matter, you yourself have received seeds from spruce cones or bought a bag of well-known company selling seeds.

Mountelf (User FORUMHOUSE):

Forget about grades. All these firms packaged seeds of species of plants and calling them all sorts of names. Of these seeds grow common species of trees, bushes.

The nurseries are often propagated by grafting varieties, some varieties and species - by cuttings, and some of the plants by cuttings under conditions that the lover in the garden to create virtually impossible (temperature-controlled greenhouses, hazy installation). Seed propagated only plant species. There are, however, forms which reproduce themselves from seed with a certain stability, for example, spruce barbed blue seed gives most of it "blue" seedlings. Even in infancy, in the first years of life, they can be recognized by their characteristic color and selected for further cultivation.

Thus, specifying these conditions, go to practice.

For planting is best to start in May, before it makes no sense. Home on the windowsill, pine and larch "will not be dispersed."

Mountelf:

Germinate, grow a palm tree, and so it will continue to stand on the windowsill. Light will be. A home can be bent easily, pine is a piece of cake.

According to the experience FORUMHOUSE users firs and tuyam stratification is not needed, as long as the seeds are fresh. That is, if you collected them on the eve of the autumn and store in the refrigerator in a sealed container, the germination rate is maintained for five years.

Stratification needed: larch, pine, cedar dwarf, Tisa. Sowing of the participants of our portal larch and yew seeds in open ground before winter gave a positive result, it is noted that the emergence of larch was low.

Usually on the stratification of the seeds lay in December - January. Many seeds before stratification need to be treated with sandpaper.

Mountelf:

Take a nut and third of sandpaper, but not to the hole, but almost.

Let us recall how the proliferation of conifer seeds in nature: in late autumn, even in the beginning of winter are revealed cones, seeds poured into the wet snow or wet ground, swelling and then freeze for a few months until the spring.

Stratification should repeat this process: the swollen seeds are placed in a moist substance and sent to the cold. It is possible to bury the pots with a mixture of moist sand and peat (which for example, the composition of the soil could be different, for FORUMHOUSE, particularly popular vermiculite) in the snow. The only thing: you need to be protected from mice and birds, for example, lay on the ground and a piece of white lutrastila same piece wrap the pot on top. You can put the pot is not in the snow, and in the refrigerator or cold loggia.

After stratification, the seeds can sow directly to a permanent place, but experience shows that pine seedlings grow best in pots. Usually pots sown stratified seeds dropped into the garden, and it is better that each individual seedling was pot, because the root system conifer growing faster than the aboveground part, then unravel this torment ikebana.

Mountelf:

I am seated on the individual and not dropwise, put on netkanku.

Optimally, every year do transshipment into a larger pot.

Whichever method you choose, if the experiment is successful, and there will be seedlings, do not forget them pritenit. And be patient. Conifers - plants slow.

Waldschnepfer:

Conifers do not germinate until June. And lying in the ground and can be two years.

Gardeners who like to watch, as the shoots appear, sow the seeds in a bowl on a window sill. Stratified seeds can germinate between the cotton pad, and when the root sprouts 5-7 cm, put on a depth of half a centimeter. Spring seedlings planted in the ground.

This method is worse - at home seedlings literally mows blackleg.

Mountelf:

I would advise to sow in pots, dig under the snow, and all the house not to make. Spring rearranged into the shadows so as not to inadvertently dried. Street seedlings stronger outside the normal moisture and air regime, there sores on seedlings is much less. At home, there is little help from fungi.

But in the open field small seedlings are vulnerable to disease. Actually, just to get the seedlings, but they grow more complex. In the first years of life conifer seedlings susceptible to fungal diseases. To save them, you need at least three processing during the season.

• After the snow melts - or fundazol HOMom.
• Summer - Topaz (double strength).
• Under the winter - or fundazol HOMom.

In the first years of life conifers look so fragile that it is tempting to somehow protect them on the eve of the winter, to hide in a shelter or even to place the pot in the house. It is not right. All these experiments usually result in plant death.

Mountelf:

Plants should be given what we need them, not you for complacency. They need to live a cold winter, which they are not afraid.

Hibernate should seedling in the garden. After a few years they will grow faster, and the five-eight-year tree looks like this already.
