Forest trees names. We study deciduous trees of Russia

Wide areas of natural vegetation and soil in Russia are closely related to the country's climatic zones. In the far north, where the summer is cold, and the soil is poor in nutrients, mosses, lichens and undersized shrubs prevail. The soil freezes to a great depth and only the surface layer thaws in the summer allowing the plants to grow. Forests occupy about 45 percent of the territory of Russia, mostly in Siberia. The total area of ​​all forests is about 25 percent of the total. The forest zone of Russia can be divided into a large northern part - coniferous, or Taiga, and a much smaller southern region - coniferous-deciduous forests.

Boreal forests

Taiga is located south of the tundra and occupies 40 percent of the European part of the country, and also covers significant areas of Siberia and the Russian Far East. Most of this region reigns supreme. Despite the fact that the taiga zone mainly consists of conifers, in some areas small-leaved trees such as birch, poplar, aspen and willow add variety. In the extreme northwest of the European part of Russia, pine dominates in the taiga, although fir, birch and other trees are often found.

Pine still grows east to the Western slope of the Urals, but fir already prevails, and in some areas there are almost pure birch forests. The West Siberian Plain consists mainly of various species of pine, and birch dominates along the southern edge of the forest. For most of the Central Siberian plateau and mountains of the Far Eastern region, the main forest-forming species is larch. The trees of the taiga zone are usually small and widely scattered. In some areas where soils are scarce on nutrients, there are no trees at all, and only marsh grasses and bushes form a vegetation cover.

Mixed forests


The mixed forest zone in the central part of the East European Plain from St. Petersburg in the north to the border with Ukraine in the south is characterized by the presence of both coniferous and broad-leaved trees. Evergreen conifers predominate in the north, while deciduous trees are common in the south. Major broadleaf species include oak, beech, maple and hornbeam.

A similar forest cover prevails in the southern part of the Russian Far East, along the Amur River Valley and to the south along the Ussuri River Valley. The basis of the soil cover of the mixed forest zone is gray-brown forest soil. They are not as barren as the taiga soils, and if properly cultivated, they can be very productive. In the south, a narrow forest-steppe zone separates the mixed forest from the steppes.

Forest-steppe and steppe


Although a large area of ​​the forest-steppe is currently plowed up, it has natural meadow vegetation with scattered groves of trees. On average, about 150 km wide, this zone extends eastward through the valleys of the Middle Volga and Southern Urals in the southern parts of the West Siberian Plain. Certain sections of the forest-steppe are also found in the southern intermountain basins of Eastern Siberia. A mixture of grasses with a small interspersed tree in sheltered valleys is a natural vegetation of the Russian steppe - a large area that includes the western half of the North Caucasus plain and the land belt extending east through the southern Volga valley, southern Urals and western Siberia. As in the case of the forest-steppe zone, almost all the steppes of the country are cultivated.

List of plants in Russia

Below is a list of some trees, shrubs, herbs with a description and photos characterizing the plant world of Russia.

Fluffy birch


Fluffy birch is a type of deciduous tree found throughout Northern Europe and the northern part of Asia, growing north than any other broad-leaved trees on the planet. Often confused with a related species - hanging birch, but fluffy birch prefers more humid areas, grows well on heavy and poorly drained soils; Young trees are also easily confused with dwarf birch.

Common hornbeam


The common hornbeam, also known as the European or Caucasian hornbeam, is a native species of deciduous trees native to Western and Central Asia, as well as Eastern and Southern Europe. It prefers a warm climate, and is found only at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level. It grows in mixed forests with oak, and in some areas with beech.

Pedunculate oak


Widely distributed in the European part of Russia, a tree from the beech family. It is the dominant tree species in the southern regions of the forest and forest-steppe zones. This is a large deciduous tree, reaching 40 meters in height and 4-12 meters in the circumference of the trunk.

Siberian spruce


Siberian spruce is a coniferous tree native to Siberia, a species of spruce growing from the Ural Mountains to the east to the Magadan Region, as well as from the arctic line of the forest to the Altai Mountains in northwestern Mongolia.

White willow


White willow is a species of willow found in Europe, West and Central Asia. The name comes from the white tint of the underside of the leaves. These are medium or large deciduous trees, growing up to 10-30 meters in height, with a trunk diameter of about 1 meter. The bark is gray-brown, deeply fractured on old trees.

Field maple


Native to a large part of Europe, the British Isles, Southwest Asia (from Turkey to the Caucasus) and North Africa (in the Atlas Mountains), a species of trees from the sapinda family. Also successfully cultivated outside their natural habitat in the United States and Western Australia in areas with a suitable climate. In Russia, the most common in the middle lane of the European part of the country.

It is a deciduous tree, reaching 15-25 meters in height, with a trunk up to 1 meter in diameter and a finely cracked, thin bark.

Siberian larch


Siberian larch - frost-resistant coniferous tree growing in the western part of Russia, from the Finnish border to the east to the Yenisei Valley in central Siberia, where it hybridizes with Gmelin larch; the hybrid is known as Chekanovsky Larch.

Siberian larch reaches 20-50 meters in height, with a trunk with a diameter of up to 1 meter. The crown is conical in young trees, and acquires an oval-rounded shape as it grows.

Juniper


Common juniper is a species of coniferous trees with the largest geographical range among woody plants with a circumpolar distribution throughout the subarctic zone, from the Arctic to the south to 30 ° north latitude in North America, Europe and Asia. Relict populations can be found in the Atlas Mountains of Africa. On the territory of Russia, found in the forests and forest-steppes of the European part of the country, as well as in the western and less often eastern regions of Siberia.

Juniper ordinary is a small evergreen tree or shrub of a very variable shape and a height of 16 meters.

Gray alder


Gray alder is a species of the alder genus with a wide range in the cold regions of the northern hemisphere.

The size of the trees varies from small to medium, with a maximum height of about 15-20 meters, smooth gray bark (even in older specimens), and a life span of no more than 60-100 years.

Aspen


Aspen is a species of deciduous tree, common in temperate and cool regions of Europe and Asia, from Iceland and the British Isles to the east to Kamchatka, to the north within the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia and Russia, southern and central Spain, Turkey, Tien Shan, North Korea and Northern Japan.

This is a tall deciduous tree, growing up to 40 meters in height, with a trunk diameter of more than 1 meter. The bark is pale greenish-gray, smooth on young trees with dark gray diamond-shaped lentils, becomes dark gray and fissured on old ones.

Siberian pine pine


Siberian cedar pine is a pine species that grows in Siberia from 58 ° east longitude in the Urals to 126 ° east longitude in the south of the Sakha Republic, and also from 68 ° north latitude in the lower Yenisei valley to the south to 45 ° north latitude in central Mongolia.

In the north of its range, it grows at low altitudes, usually 100-200 meters, while closer to the south, it occurs at an altitude of 1000-2400 meters above sea level. Siberian cedar pine is a slow-growing tree, with a maximum height of 30-40 meters, and a trunk diameter of about 1.5 meters. Life expectancy is 800-850 years.

Siberian fir

Siberian fir is an evergreen coniferous tree growing in the taiga east of the Volga River and south of 67 ° 40 "north latitude in Siberia, through Turkestan, northeastern Xinjiang, Mongolia and Heilongjiang.

It prefers a cold climate, moist soil in the mountains or river basins at heights of 1900-2400 meters above sea level. Siberian fir is a very shade-tolerant frost-resistant tree that grows at temperatures up to -50 ° C. It rarely lives more than 200 years due to susceptibility to wood fungus.

Mountain ash


Mountain ash - a tree or shrub plant from the pink family. The range extends from Madeira and Iceland to Russia and North China.

Mountain ash is found in the form of a tree or shrub, which reach from 5 to 15 meters in height. The crown has a round or irregular shape, and the trunk is thin and cylindrical up to 40 cm in diameter.

Barberry ordinary


This deciduous shrub can reach up to 4 meters in height. The leaves are small oval, 2-5 cm long and 1-2 cm wide, with a serrated edge; they grow in bundles of 2 to 5 sheets. The flowers are yellow, 4-6 mm in diameter, bloom on the length of the brush in late spring. Oblong red berries 7-10 mm long and 3-5 mm wide ripen in late summer or autumn; they are edible but very acidic and rich in vitamin C.

Ledum rosemary


A low shrub about 50 cm (rarely up to 120 cm) tall with evergreen leaves 12-50 mm long and 2-12 mm wide. The flowers are small, with a five-lobed white corolla, and emit a strong odor to attract bees and other pollinating insects. It has a wide geographical range on the territory of Russia, which covers the tundra, forest zone, Siberia and the Far East.

Common lilac


Common Lilac - a flowering shrub plant from the family Olives, originally from the Balkan Peninsula, where it grows in the wild on rocky hills. The species is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant and has been naturalized in other regions of Europe (including Russia, Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy), as well as in most of North America.

This is a large deciduous shrub or small multi-stemmed tree, grows up to 6-7 meters, producing secondary shoots from the base or root system, which over decades can grow to a small colonial thicket. The bark is gray or taupe, smooth on young stems, and longitudinally furrowed on old stems. The leaves are simple, 4-12 cm long and 3-8 cm wide, from light green to bluish in color, from oval to heart-shaped, with feathery venation and gabled top. Flowers, as a rule, range from lilac to mauve, sometimes white. The fruit is a dry, smooth, brown capsule, 1-2 cm long, split into two parts to release seeds.

Common viburnum


Viburnum vulgaris - deciduous shrub plant, reaching 4-5 meters in height. Leaves are opposite, three-lobed, 5-10 cm long and wide, with a rounded base and large serrated edges; outwardly similar to the leaves of some types of maple, but differ in a slightly wrinkled surface. It blooms in early summer and is pollinated by insects. Spherical bright red fruits (7-10 mm in diameter) contain one seed. Seeds are carried by birds and other animals.

Polar poppy


One of the most northern plants in the world. The stalk is hard, hardy and covered with black hairs, flowers with delicate yellow or white petals. Flowers constantly turn to the sun, repeating its movement through the sky, and attracting insects. Arctic poppy grows in meadows, mountains and dry beds. They thrive among stones that absorb solar heat and provide shelter for the root system.

Stinging nettle


Nettle is an easily recognizable, unfortunately, often easily perceptible plant whose stems and leaves are covered with burning hairs. This is an effective way to avoid the fate of being eaten, and also makes nettle an important refuge for caterpillars and many other insects. In addition to dioica nettle, stinging nettle is widespread in Russia.

Violet tricolor


The violet is three-colored, also known as pansies - an annual, sometimes perennial plant that grows in Europe and temperate regions of Asia. It was also introduced in North America, where it spread widely. This is the progenitor of cultivated violets, and therefore it is sometimes called wild violet.

Chess grouse


Hazel grouse is a perennial herb that has a rather unusual appearance for wildflowers. It prefers raw, low-lying meadows and pastures of Europe and West Asia. It thrives on soils that have never been intensively cultivated, and are now less common.

Sedge


Sedge is a genus of perennial herbaceous plants, numbering about 2 thousand species. In Russia, from 300 to 400 species are found that grow in various climatic conditions, landscapes and habitats throughout the country.


   The plant world of the Earth is huge and diverse: it consists of 350,000 species, and according to some botanists, even 500,000 species of plants.
The plant kingdom includes algae, mushrooms, slugs and seed plants, which are divided into gymnosperms  and flower family  , and among the latter there are herbaceous and woody species. It is known that almost all the variety of plant species is now described and systematized by man, creating a natural system of the plant world, based on scientific principles of establishing family ties between certain groups of plants. The modern system of the plant world is divided into systematic units subordinate to each other, among which the main unit is the species. Related tree species are combined into genera, and related genera into families. Then more and more large associations follow: orders, classes, departments, and, finally, the highest systematic unit - the kingdom of plants.
tree classification
   Typically, woody plants are divided into the following groups according to the nature of the structure of their main stems and their height: trees, shrubs, shrubs, shrubs, and vines.

Tree

A tree is considered to be a large plant with a perennial ligneous main stem, usually called the trunk, which grows in height at its apex. The speed of growth of trees in height depends on environmental conditions, the geographical area of ​​growth and biological characteristics of this species. The tree does not grow continuously in height, the growth changes throughout the life of the tree until it is completely stopped.
The height of the tree is different for different tree species and ranges from several to many tens of meters, and in some cases reaches 120 m or more. Evergreen sequoia and giant sequoia, growing on the California coast of North America in mountain forests, and Australian eucalyptus reach such heights. The trees of our forests do not reach such sizes, however, many of them grow up to 40-50 m or more. So, ordinary spruce, Sakhalin fir, Siberian larch, etc. reach 40 m or more, oriental spruce, European beech 50 m or more, Schrenka spruce under favorable conditions 85 m, Caucasian fir 65 m. Some European fir trees sometimes reach 60 ( 90) m in height. European larch and have a height of up to 54 m, summer oak 40-50 m, plane trees of the South Caucasus 45-50 m. Such species as birch, aspen, linden, elm, elm, maple, etc., rarely exceed 25-35 m.

In terms of species composition, temperate forests are much less tropical. Trees in central Russia are few in number and, it would seem, should be known to everyone. But this is not so. Of course, everyone can easily recognize birch, pine or spruce, but not everyone can distinguish elm from maple or be able to describe what the linden looks like. It should also be noted that some trees predominate in forests, while others dominate in cities. This article will focus mainly on forest species.

Trees of central Russia: names

The most common coniferous tree in the East European Plain is pine. Ordinary spruce is a little less popular. Sometimes there is white fir and falling larch. But the dominant position belongs to deciduous. They grow faster than conifers, and are easier to adapt to environmental changes, so they take root even in big cities. According to studies conducted on the territory of the Central Russian Upland, the prevailing indigenous species are hearty linden and common ash. Of course, birch and aspen are found everywhere. Along the banks of forest rivers, various species of willows and black alder grow. In shady places comes across a rough elm (aka mountain elm). The characteristic trees of central Russia are various maples, and ordinary mountain ash, and wild apple. Decorative cities of apple trees, black and white poplar trees are widespread in cities, horse chestnut is found.

Common ash

One of the most impressive in our forests: it reaches a forty-meter height. Ash has a straight trunk; the bark is grayish greenish. The tree prefers moist, but not swampy soils, so it often grows along streams and rivers. Young ash trees, unlike adults, are not demanding for light. In winter, the tree is easy to identify by large black buds. Ash crown - high set, openwork, beautiful shape. He has very recognizable leaves - long (up to 35 cm), unpaired.

In general, the middle zone of Russia is the most accessible material for identification. By analyzing their shape, determining the species is relatively easy.

Heart-shaped linden (small-leaved)

It is a fairly tall (up to 35 meters) tree. It grows on the plains and in the foothills, often on cliffs, slopes. It takes root well in cities and therefore is often used as an avenue plant. The linden has a straight trunk with a wrinkled grayish bark. The trees that grow in the glades have powerful egg-shaped crowns. Linden is a honey tree. It blooms late in the middle of summer. Small white-yellow flowers have a pronounced sweetish aroma and attract bees. In addition, they are a drug.


Flowers are collected in a bunch, at the base of which is a long leaf - lionfish. The fruits of linden are round nuts. The leaves are rounded heart-shaped, slightly resembling poplar. Deciduous trees in central Russia, as a rule, are not particularly durable, but hearty linden can live up to 800 years.

Black (sticky) alder

This tree has nothing against moisture. It is found in river valleys and even in swamps. Alder grows up to 30 meters. Her trunk is dark, with deep "wrinkles", the wood is reddish yellow. The leaves are rounded, with a recess opposite the handle. Alder blooms in mid-spring, just during the flood. In male trees, flowers are collected in long yellow-purple earrings. Female inflorescences are in the form of solid cones.

Black alder loves light and It is a useful plant. Its wood is suitable for use in high humidity conditions.


Pedunculate oak

Trees in central Russia are medicinal; some of their parts are often used in medicine. Oak with its dark and very rough, but healing bark is no exception. This tall tree grows both in the hills and in the valleys. It has nodular branches and easily recognizable leaves, which are called cirrus, since they consist of several pairs of fused lobes.

Oaks bloom in late spring. The fruits are light brownish-yellow acorns (2-3 pieces on a long petiole). Oaks live long, their wood is hard and not subject to decay. For this reason, expensive furniture is made from it “for centuries”.


Rough elm (mountain elm)

Due to the abundance of longitudinal cracks in its crust. The height of the elm is 30 meters, while the plant is very slender, with a long strong trunk and a relatively wide crown. The trees of central Russia are unpretentious: for example, rough elm gives copious growth both in moist lowlands and in the mountains, climbing to a height of 1000 meters above sea level and rooting on rocky steeps. Elm is demanding not so much to the ambient temperature as to soil fertility. It has large, coarse and not very symmetrical oblong leaves with a bilobate margin.

Rough elm appreciates partial shade, so you will not find it in open spaces. It blooms very early; violet-red flowers are collected in dense small bunches. By summer, the fruits of the elm ripen and fall. They are flattened nuts surrounded by two fused wide lobes.


Poplar and Aspen

Almost everyone can identify these plants, the identifier of trees in central Russia is hardly needed here. But nevertheless, speaking of the most common plants in our country, one cannot ignore these species. By the way, not everyone knows that the second name of aspen is trembling poplar. This tree is very undemanding to the soil, but loves the sun. Aspen rapidly captures fresh clearings and clearings, but its century does not exceed 90-100 years. The trunk is long and smooth, with a gray-greenish bark. Crohn is small, rare and located high. The leaves are almost round, with an uneven edge. The slightest breath of wind makes them tremble, due to the special structure of the petiole. Dark green above, gray below. In the fall they get a rich burgundy color.

Better known as a "cultured" tree. It can be more often found in cities along the highway or on village streets than in forests. Poplar appreciates the sun and moisture. Under favorable conditions, the tree grows up to 40 meters. The bark is gray, rough, with longitudinal cracks. Crohn is extensive. Leaves are heart-shaped.

Conclusion

So, the article briefly described the trees of central Russia, whose names are well known to everyone. Look at the photos, practice a little - and it’s not difficult to distinguish one plant from another. Fortunately, as already noted, the forest flora of the temperate climate are not so numerous.

Hello dear friends! As always, ShkolaLa and the Projects section are in a hurry to help you. Are you ready to tell about the deciduous trees of Russia at a lesson of the surrounding world? This material will help you!

Lesson plan:

What do we know about deciduous plants?

Let me remind you that deciduous trees are those that have leaves. They are also called deciduous and summer green, because they drop their leaves every year before the cold weather. Why they do this is described.


Deciduous plants appeared later than other species, but quickly spread thanks to their seeds. Today they grow in every corner of our planet and are its main landscapers.

Hardwood is often taken as a material for industrial purposes, as it is durable and easy to process. Many summer-green plants serve as a source of useful substances used in medicine. And deciduous trees bloom beautifully and harmoniously fit into the landscapes, many of them bring delicious berries and fruits to our tables.

About the features of deciduous plants remembered. Now I propose to talk about their representatives. Do you know which deciduous tree is the most common in Russia? And the longest living? Below I have compiled for you descriptions of deciduous trees, most often found on the territory of our country.

White birch


Among deciduous trees, it is the most famous tree, especially prevalent in the north, but birch also grows in the central part of Russia and in the Caucasus. It can rightly be considered a symbol of Russia - how many songs and fairy tales folded! In total there are more than a hundred species of birch, among them are dwarf.

It is interesting! The name goes back to the pro-Slavic berza - “turn white, glow”. And all this is due to the snow-white trunk, the color of which gives a special resinous substance - betulin, the cavities of the cells are filled with it. Another tree name is associated with the word birch bark.

Birch grows up to 40 meters and lives up to 120-150 years, but there are 400 centenarians who live long enough. Birch leaves are jagged at the edges, and their shape is in the form of a rounded rhombus or a triangle.


Birch inflorescences look like a female adornment - earrings, where fruits ripen and then crumble. The seeds of the tree are like oblate nuts that have a wing. Light and small, they are carried by wind to a distance of 100 meters.


Most species of birch tolerate frost well, so they can live even beyond the Arctic Circle. Those that love the climate warmer settle in the territory of central Russia. Moreover, the plant can grow on clay and sand, on the wet shores of seas and rivers, on a swamp and in the tundra, on stones and in steppes.

What is birch suitable for? Its top layer, called birch bark, used to be used in folk crafts - they used to make bast shoes, baskets, dippers and other household items. Today birch is a material for plywood, skis and wooden toys. Birch leaves and buds are used in medicine.

If you make an incision on the trunk of a birch tree in the spring, you can collect a delicious birch sap. Just do not forget the wounds inflicted on the tree and then smear it with clay so that harmful organisms do not get there.


It is interesting! In nature, there is a birch Schmidt, named after the botanist who discovered it, nicknamed “iron”. It is found in the south of Primorye, and the tree is called so because it is a fire-resistant breed with very strong wood that sinks in water. They say that you will not take it with an ax, nor will you pierce it with a bullet.

Strong oak


Oak, also known by Pushkin Lukomorye, is also a frequent inhabitant of deciduous forests. There are about 600 species in total, but only one is common in Russia - pedunculate. Oak can grow both in the north with a temperate climate and in the south. A true long-liver among all hardwoods up to 45 meters long, it can please the eye for about 1500 years, but this is not the limit!

It is interesting! In Lithuania, lives the oldest oak, which celebrated the two thousandth anniversary. And the Poles have three friends - Czech (Czech Republic), Lech (Poland) and Rus (Russia) friendship friends, they are 900 years old.

Many oak species are evergreen - they have some notched leaves that, with their oblong appearance, resemble an ellipse, remain on the tree for many years. Oak is easily recognizable by the fruit - acorns. These are such nuts.


It is interesting! Acorns are good food for animals, but pigs especially love them. Even Krylov's fable is “A pig under an oak tree”. And just under the oaks due to the peculiarity of its root system, expensive mushrooms - truffles grow.

Today, oak nuts are used for cooking, Koreans with them make jelly Tothorimuka. Acorns from Russian English oak go only to coffee.

But oak wood is a real value for furniture production. It is strong and durable. Furniture made of oak is considered one of the most expensive.


The tree that has lain for at least 100 years in the water is especially appreciated. They call this oak baked, its color gets almost a black tint. Flooring is also oak floors - parquet. In addition, oak wood is used in shipbuilding.

Apple tree


Who does not like bulk apples? Today there are about 36 species of apple trees, some of them are grown as ornamental, their fruits do not fall on our tables, but most give us rich apple harvests. Who has not heard about Antonovka and white filling?

The homeland of apple trees is considered to be Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, but today the breeders have adapted to grow the tree, not only in warm lands, but also in the north.

The tree has a spreading crown, it grows up to 15 meters long. Wild apple trees even have thorns on the branches. Apple trees bloom beautifully with white or red flowers. Fruits are the size of a pea, but the usual apple varieties contain many vitamins, as well as micro and macro elements.


It is interesting! When you're tired, make your own apple tea with cinnamon. It will relieve irritation, restore sleep and give strength.

What is useful apple? In addition to making delicious dishes from apples, they make jam, squeeze juices and dry them, the apple tree is an excellent material. Its wood is used to make handicrafts as well as joinery, as it is easy to cut and polish.

Poplar


Unpretentious poplars can grow on any soil, in the middle belt or in the north, but they do not like bogging very much. The tree can live up to 150 years, but often dies much earlier due to various fungal diseases. Sometimes a tree can reach 60 meters.

The shape of the crown of the poplar can be different, depending on where it grows. Usually in the south these are pyramidal species, in poplars growing closer to the north there is a spreading wide crown of oval-shaped leaves.

Poplar fruits are boxes. Remember the song about poplar fluff and July? It is upon the onset of warm summer weather that these fruit boxes release seeds with fine hairs that fly into the park paths and cover them like snow.


It is interesting! Do you know that yellow leaves are made of poplar leaves, and purple ones are made of poplar buds ?!

Where is applicable poplar? The wood of this tree serves as raw material for the manufacture of paper. Artificial silk, match straw and some furniture are also made from poplar. In the south, poplar wood is even built at home.

Linden tree


In the west of Russia and up to the Urals, you can meet linden, which combines about 40 main species. But some hybrids count up to 350! A tree leaves in the form of hearts with serrate edges. Lipu, too, can deservedly be attributed to the long-livers. On average, they live for about 400 years, but some age reaches 1000.

Lipa stands out for its beauty, especially during flowering in June and July. Then the air is filled with a delicate sweet aroma.


It is interesting! Under the kings of linden crooks cut out the royal seal, forging state attribute. Hence the expression "linden seal", "linden", or fake.

Where used linden? First of all, for the manufacture of medicines. And not only flowers, but also other parts of the plant are used.

In addition, the linden is a tree for art, musical instruments and carvings are made of it.

And still linden cut pads to sew us beautiful boots, and drawing boards.

Sometimes this plant is used to make furniture.

Who has not heard of lime honey, so useful in the icy winter?


I told only about the top five of deciduous trees that are often found in Russia. As you understand, a great many of them.

Deciduous trees in Moscow

During the design of the backyard territory, mature trees are especially pleasing to the eye. But it is not always possible to save the existing plants, and sometimes the desired trees are simply not on the site. Then you can choose suitable adult seedlings that will immediately look attractive and complement the design of the site. There are different types and varieties deciduous trees in Moscowwhich ways to create a cozy shadow area.

Popular species of hardwood

Large trees are mature trees with a developed crown, root system. Their height varies, depending on the variety of the plant itself. Larger individuals are selected for large areas, creating the necessary comfort and shade.

For small areas preferred small instances. There are also flowering, fruitful individuals. Choosing beautiful hardwoodYou should pay attention to such instances:

  1. Birch is a tree that prefers bright, sunny areas, but copes well with exposure to low temperatures. They are very unpretentious, there are many varieties, where the most sought-after are Karelian, hanging, small-leaved trees.
  2. Elm - is distinguished by an unusual crown, thin branches, dark leaves, acquiring a brownish-golden hue by autumn. Well cope with frost, grow on almost any type of soil. A great option for single landings.
  3. Oak - represented by different varieties used in gardening. Special care is not required, the tree is unpretentious. There is a red, pyramidal, pedunculate variety.
  4. Rowan - different small, openwork leaves. Trees are especially beautiful in the autumn period, when they acquire yellow-red shades. These are small individuals with thin trunks, compact crown. The fruits are medicinal.
  5. Maple - beautiful and most common seedlings of deciduous trees in Moscow. They are pleased with the lush foliage from the beginning of spring to the end of autumn, when the leaves become yellow, red, and brown. Grows in almost any areas, although fertile, well-lit soils are preferable.
  6. Linden - a tree, often found in gardens and in areas where mostly large-leaved and small-leaved species are planted. It grows in shaded areas, withstands cold.

Breeds of deciduous trees

In groups deciduous trees names  incoming specimens can often differ depending on the breed. For example, a linden tree can be represented by a small-leaf, large-leaved breed, and birch is found warty, paper, bush, drooping, fluffy, with different names.

Such specimens may differ in the size of the foliage, the shape of the crown, certain requirements when selecting a place for planting, other indicators. All this must be considered if you want buy deciduous treesthat will decorate the area.
