Planting of fruit trees in the spring according to the lunar calendar

By laying a young garden, beginning gardeners plant trees. This event for them may seem quite simple. However, quite often they make serious mistakes, which are sometimes very difficult to correct.

Where to start landing?

First of all, you should plan the entire site and determine the location for each garden crop. Familiarize yourself with the rules of planting trees and shrubs in the garden. Next, choose the varieties that will be suitable for the area where it is planned to form a fruit garden. Determine with the time of landing. It can be spring or autumn, and for each season there are terms designed for landing on the site, which should not be violated. Non-compliance with them can lead to the death of plants.

Planting dates in spring

Each agrotechnical device corresponds to a certain time of the year. Inexperienced aspiring gardeners wait for warm weather to begin work in the garden. By this time, the acquired seedlings are already spreading the kidneys. The planting of fruit trees in the spring on the plot begins as soon as snow falls. At this time, the seedlings are at rest. The signal that the planting of seedlings of fruit trees in spring is over and it is time to stop work, is the swelling of the kidneys.

The influence of the moon on plants

Once the deadlines and the weather allow for access to the garden, let's take a look at the sowing calendar, which will make its corrections in the order of the works. A certain phase of the moon is conducive to one or another of the operations produced by gardeners. Planting of fruit trees in the spring according to the lunar calendar allows to determine the most favorable days correctly. There is also a period that will not be successful for any agrotechnical methods. Works begin in the garden in March. At this time on the waning moon , pruning branches and shaping the crown of trees. April is the time when seedlings of fruit trees are planted in the spring. It remains only to choose an auspicious day for this. Planting of fruit trees in the spring on a calendar is performed with the growing Moon. The decaying phase is a favorable time for protective measures from wintering pests.

Selection of suitable planting material

If the date of planting is determined, it's time to think about the seedlings. When choosing it, the climatic conditions, the features of the terrain of the garden area, the composition and quality of the soil, and the depth of the groundwater are important. For example, planting fruit trees in the spring in the suburbs will be successful and will contribute to the formation of a healthy and well-fruitful garden, if the choice of zoned tree varieties is right. The most suitable for this area will be those of them that have good winter hardiness qualities. The list of such varieties can be entered:

• Apple trees - Antonovka, White pouring, Imrus, Melba, Moscow winter, Medunitsa;
• Pears - Marble, Lada, Augustow dew, Veles;
• Plums - Renkloed Liya, Blue gift, Vitebsk later, Hungarian Moscow;
• Cherries - Assol, Bulatnikovskaya, Shchedraia;
• Cherries - Tyutchevka, Revna.

Planting of fruit trees in the spring in the Moscow region is carried out according to generally accepted rules. The root system of the acquired seedlings should not dry up during transportation.

Rules for the placement of garden plants

Good growth in the suburbs of winter-resistant varieties of fruit crops. After the choice of plants is made and the days of the growing phase of the moon are determined, we proceed to work on the site. Planting seedlings of fruit trees begins with the planning of the garden space. All plants should be placed in a certain order, taking into account the distances between them, as well as sufficient distance from buildings and neighbors.

Planting of fruit trees in spring is done according to a pre-planned scheme. Plants should not oppress and shade each other, and also get into the shadow zones of buildings. You should also observe the distance to the neighboring garden plot.

The arrangement of plants in the garden can be square, rectangular or chess.

Planting trees: rules for preparing landing holes

The survival of the seedling depends not only on the timing that the lunar calendar will tell. This activity requires compliance with certain rules. Prepare a lot of seats, the size of which depends on the characteristics of the fruit culture. For plants digging pits, the sizes of which are:

• Stone-bearing trees: depth - 60 cm, diameter - 40 cm;
• Pome fruits of trees: depth - 80 cm, diameter - 60-80 cm.

If the garden is dense clay soil, the seats will be less deep and have a larger diameter. When digging the pit, the upper layer of the ground is removed and placed separately, not mixing with the rest. This is a fertile layer. In it add organic, mineral fertilizers and fill the seat. One tree will require two or three buckets of humus, three buckets of peat, one kilogram of wood ash and superphosphate.

In the absence of mineral fertilizers, they are limited to compost and humus. Do not use fresh manure as a nutritional supplement, which can harm the root system.

Rules for placing seedlings

Planting of fruit trees in the spring provides advance preparation of seats. They are cooked since autumn. Pits are excavated and filled with half-rotted manure or compost. In the spring they will house young trees. A seedling is placed in prepared pits. Before it, they remove the broken shoots. Damaged rootlets shorten, leaving healthy. However, without a special need, it is better not to disturb the root system. If it is heavily dried during transportation, it is necessary to immerse in water for 12-24 hours. Immediately before planting, the roots of the seedlings should be lowered into the clay chatterbox. The best survivors are one- and two-year-old trees. When planting, pay attention to the location of the seedling relative to the sides of the world. He is planted in the same orientation in which he was raised in the nursery. In this case, during the first years of life, the plant adapts to certain conditions. When examining a young tree, it can be seen that the trunk has a heterogeneous color. The side of the trunk, which was oriented to the south, is darker than the one that was turned to the north.

After placing the seedling, the pit is filled with a prepared, fertile mixture. Above the tree trunk, they are covered with soil, which was excavated from the bottom of the landing. Finish landing with copious watering. In this case, after the earth mixture has settled, the root neck of the tree should be located at the ground level. The near-trunk circle is mulched with peat.

Embarking on a hill

This method is used for the near occurrence of groundwater. Planting fruit trees in spring on the hill is carried out in a certain sequence. Choose a seat. Drive a stake. The height of the support is 1.5 m in height, the thickness is not less than 5-6 cm. Around the stalk is dug the soil to a depth of twenty centimeters and distribute organic fertilizers at the rate of 8 kg per square meter. After that the seedling is attached to the support. The root system is straightened. Pour a hill of nutrient earth mixture. From above it is fixed with turf. As the seedlings grow, the stalk is increased by pouring the earth mixture.

Care of seedlings

Planting of fruit trees in the spring provides the device of special watering holes. Saplings of fruit trees will require attention and careful care. Do not dry the stump. This requires regular watering. Also, the soil cover loosen and remove the weed grass. An important activity is protection from pests and diseases. In accordance with the lunar calendar, it should be carried out in the May days on the waning moon. At the same time pinch young shoots.

Planting of large-sized

The result of improper planting is a thickened garden. If the necessary distances were not maintained during planting, the plants subsequently obscure each other. At the same time, the harvest decreases, the risk of diseases and the massive damage by pests increase. You can solve this problem. To do this, transplanted trees, the height of which can exceed three meters. Planting of fruit trees in the spring makes it possible to use large-sized mills as a material. To do this, they are dug in a radius of 0.8 m. Part of the root system should be chopped off. The excavated tree is laid on one side. In accordance with the size of the root system, a new seat with clean and even edges is prepared. The bottom is well loosened and filled with a layer of fertile soil. A tree with a clod of earth is placed in a pit. Cover it with a special earth mixture. Filling is done layer by layer, periodically sealing each of them. This will securely fix the tree. When the pit is filled, the soil is well trampled and watered abundantly.
