Plant made of coniferous. Coniferous trees

When choosing species and sorts of coniferous rocks, it is necessary to take into account how they will look, what sizes will be achieved at the time of maturity, not forgetting, of course, about growth rates, color, habitat requirements. It is important to compare all these characteristics with specific conditions, including the size of sadroom territory. Only, we will succeed in making coniferous plants interesting in colors, contour and spatial terms of the composition.

In most coniferous trees and shrubs - plants are light-minded. This means that for healthy growth and development, they need enough light, space and such a place where they will not suffer from lack of air.

Great adaptability is distinguished by the tees that develop well in the half and even complete shadow. Move the shading of young fir, pseudootsuga, spruce, tsi, cryptomeria, tissoly or Douglas Fir, and from pine - Pinus Flexilis, P. Koraiensis and R. R. For cypressants, the optimal conditions - the half-one or the place is not on the sunny side. A relatively well adapt to the Tui. The rest of the breeds of breeds of coniferous plants prefer a place in the sun, and juniper and very very poorly carry shading.

As for the soil conditions, the requirements for them in coniferous rocks are very different. The most unpretentious larch, juniper, pine (except for views with five needles in a beam) and a cypress man. These breeds grow well on sand-clay soils, and pines - even on stony. Cypressians, juniper, larch, spruce and teases love lime. Juniper over it is well tolerating and drying soil. But the cypressists, on the contrary, require the wealth of soil moisture. Food is better growing on wet clay and sandy lands. Fir compared to fir quality to the quality of the soil is more recovered. They feel well on deep clay and sandy, moderately wet, nutrient-rich soils and, as a rule, do not endure high level Budded waters. For the rest of coniferous trees and shrubs, you need more powerful soils in which enough nutrients and the moderate content of soil moisture. In swampy locations, even in small standing water, only marsh cypresses grow well.

If we talk about the ordering, most of the coniferous plants are resistant to cold. Fir, cedar, cryptomeria, ate and more delicate species of individual breeds should not be seated in cold hollows where they can surf.

From the fir, the most enduring and are not afraid of frost Abies Balsamea, A. Concolor, A. Grandis and A. Homolepis; From kiparisovnikov - ChamaecyParis Nootkatensis and CH. Lawsoniana; from the fir - Picea Abies, P. Alba, P. Asperata, P. Omorika and R. Pungens; Pine Pinus Banksiana, P. Cembra and R. Reis.

Fir needs a more wind-protected place, and the cedar develops well only at such places. Due to the fact that the volatile coniferous trees, and from Tui - Thuja Orientalis, in the winter they can suffer from solar radiation, the place for them should be selected and taking into account this moment.

Coniferous trees Also carry polluted air differently. Some types are generally growing quite well in industrial areas. However, smoke, polluted air completely does not endure most of the fir. Among them are relatively most hardened in this respect Abies Concolor, A. Grandis, A. Koreana, A. Nordmanniana, A. Procera, A. Veitchii. HE makes such pollution and most fir trees, pines and cryptomeria. Although in the same conditions, some types of cedars and cypressovnikovnikov, teases, thies, and pine sannik, black pine, pine, and others, are quite well aware of the same conditions.

From the overalls of the forest beast, those species that have soft needles, as well as cypressants, mainly young, some juniper (also at a young age), for example, Juniper Chinese, Juniper Virginsky, and in the spring with the dissolution of the needles and juniper ordinary. The beasts are biting and the bark of a young larch, and those who have soft needles are chosen from pines. Neither the berry tees nor western Thuja. The remaining coniferous breeds from the beasts do not suffer.

Forest workers often face that many gardeners seek to purchase coniferous trees breeds for their small sites and parisades, distinguished by high growth, without giving, truth, due attention to this moment. At the same time, in most cases, they simply attract the beauty of young plants and seduces the size of the selling instances. Such buyers naively hope that it is worth putting such plants in the garden, as they immediately decorate the site. They forget that with the time of the Tui, the cypressists, ate, fir, pines and other major breeds will create an almost impenetrable wall, will interfere with the surrounding landscape, and then the garden is at a permanent shadow.
