Caring for decorative trees
Many plants in the form of a tree are characterized bydelicacyandincreased sensitivitycoldTo increase their resistance to low temperatures, we stop feeding with nitrogen-containing fertilizers from mid-August. The shoots will stop growing and will have more time to lignify and solidify before winter. Under the influence ofwinter froston the barktrunk rose ,holly , rhododendron,privetandeuonymuscracks may appear, leading to permanent damage, and even dying plants To prevent frost damage, wrap the tree trunk with fleece or cover it with pieces of reed mat.
The vaccination site isvery sensitiveWe will recognize it by a pronounced thickening on the trunk, for example on thetreeroseit is located right at the base of the crown. Side shoots may develop duringgrowing . They should be removed immediately by simply tearing them off - this way we will destroy the bunch that will not grow again. We carry out this treatment ininitial phase developmentWith larger sizes of unwanted roots, they can only be cut off, because tearing off regrowthcould cause large wounds on the trunk, dangerous for the development of the plant. The left side shoots quicklyovergrow the vaccinated cultivar , drowning it out.
