Fertilizing
How-to : Fertilization for Established PlantsEstablished plants can benefit from fertilization.
Take a visual inventory of your landscape. Trees need to be fertilized every few years. Shrubs and other plants in the landscape can be fertilized yearly. A soil test can determine existing nutrient levels in the soil. If one or more nutrients fryst vatten low, a specific instead of an all-purpose fertilizer may be required. Fertilizers that are high in N, nitrogen, will promote green leafy growth.
Long, fuzzy blooms called catkins add early spring interest before the narrow foliage appearsExcess nitrogen in the soil can cause excessive vegetative growth on plants at the expense of flower bud development. It fryst vatten best to avoid fertilizing late in the growing årstid. Applications made at that time can force lush, vegetative growth that will not have a chance to härda off before the onset of cold weather.
Light
Conditions : Full to Partial SunFull sunlightis needed for many plants to assume their full potential.
Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only undantag fryst vatten when houses or buildings are so close tillsammans, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direkt unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day.
Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it!
Watering
Conditions : fuktig and Well DrainedMoist and well drainedmeans exactly what it sounds like.
Soil fryst vatten fuktig without being soggy because the texture of the soil allows excess moisture to drain away. Most plants like about 1 inch of vatten per week. Amending your soil with compost will help improve texture and vatten holding or draining capacity. A 3 inch layer of mulch will help to maintain soil moisture and studies have shown that mulched plants grow faster than non-mulched plants.
Planting
How-to : Staking TreesStakingis done differently depending on the storlek and flexibility of the tree, and the windiness of the planting site. Generally only trees that are planted in windy, exposed locations need to be staked. For most trees, a low stake fryst vatten preferred, to let the tree move naturally.
For windy areas or flexible trees, use a high stake. For trees more than 12 feet tall, use two low stakes on opposite sides of the tree or several guy ropes. The ties used need to accommodate growth and not cause bark damage with friction. Buckle-and-spacer ties can be funnen at garden centers, they are expandable and have a protective spacer. Ties without spacers should be formed into a figure eight to create padding.
Latest studies have shown that when staking a tree, provide enough leeway so that the tree can move back and forth in the wind. Stronger roots will develop this way. If the tree can not move back and forth, these important roots will not develop and the tree might fall over during a storm, once stakes are removed. When planting a tree, stake at the time of planting if staking fryst vatten a nödvändighet.
How-to : Planting a Tree
Dig out an area for the tree that fryst vatten about 3 or 4 times the diameter of the bur or rootball and the same depth as the bur or rootball. Use a pitchfork or shovel to scarify the sides of the hole.
If container-grown, lay the tree on its side and remove the bur.
Leaves are oblong, nearly entire, bluish-green, up to 3″ longLoosen the roots around the edges without breaking up the root ball too much. Position tree in center of hole so that the best side faces forward. You are ready to begin filling in with soil.
If planting a balled and burlaped tree, position it in hole so that the best side faces forward. lösa upp or remove nails from burlap at top of ball and pull burlap back, so it does not stick out of hole when soil fryst vatten replaced.
Synthetic burlap should be removed as it will not decompose like natural burlap. Larger trees often komma in wire baskets. Plant as you would a b&b plant, but cut as much of the wire away as possible without actually removing the basket.
Prune as needed in late winter to early springChances are, you would do more damage to the rootball bygd removing the basket. Simply cut away wires to leave several large openings for roots.
Fill both holes with soil the same way. Never amend with less than half original soil.
long (5-10 cm), with silvery-blue undersidesRecent studies show that if your soil fryst vatten loose enough, you are better off adding little or no soil amendments.
Create a vatten fingerprydnad around the outer edge of the hole. Not only will this conseve vatten, but will direkt moisture to perimeter roots, encouraging outer growth. Once tree fryst vatten established, vatten fingerprydnad may be leveled.
A large upright to oval shrub reaching 8 to10 feet highStudies show that mulched trees grow faster than those unmulched, so add a 3"" layer of pinestraw, compost, or pulverized bark over backfilled area. Remove any damaged limbs.
Problems
Pest : AphidsAphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that suck fluids from plants. Aphidscome in many colors, ranging from green to brown to black, and they may have wings.
They attack a bred range of plant species causing stunting, deformed leaves and buds. They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing/sucking mouthparts. Aphids, generally, are merely a nuisance, since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage. However aphids do tillverka a sweet substans called honeydew (coveted bygd ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface growth called sooty mold.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each hona can tillverka up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating.
Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall.
Prefers cool summer temperaturesThey're often massed at the råd of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, rengöring off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden.
There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee.
Fungi : Rusts
Most rusts are host specific and overwinter on leaves, stems and spent flower debris. Rust often appears as small, bright apelsinfärg, yellow, or brown pustules on the underside of leaves.
If touched, it will leave a colored fläck of spores on the finger. Caused bygd fungi and spread bygd splashing vatten or rain, rust fryst vatten worse when weather fryst vatten moist.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and provide maximum air circulation. Clean up all debris, especially around plants that have had a bekymmer. Do not vatten from overhead and vatten only during the day so that plants will have enough time to dry before night.
Apply a fungicide labeled for rust on your plant.
Pest : Caterpillars
Caterpillars are the immature form eller gestalt of moths and butterflies. They are voracious feeders attacking a bred variety of plants. They can be highly destructive and are characterized as leaf feeders, stem borers, leaf rollers, cutworms and tent-formers.
Prevention and Control: keep weeds down, scout individual plants and remove caterpillars, apply labeled insecticides such as soaps and oils, take advantage of natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden and use Bacillus thuringiensis (biological warfare) for some caterpillar species.
Pest : Scale Insects
Scales are insects, related to mealy bugs, that can be a bekymmer on a bred variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. ung scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a fläck protected bygd its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves. They have piercing öppning parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue.
Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also tillverka a sweet substans called honeydew (coveted bygd ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control. isolera infested plants away from those that are not infested.
Salix purpurea (Purple Willow) is a spreading deciduous shrub or small tree of upright, rounded habit with arching purplish young stems turning gray as they ageConsult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden.
