Growing features

Semi-crops are varieties that can be planted in the fall and spring, that is, before the buds appear on the trees or before the onset of frost.

Important! When planting in September, a hole is dug in August. They prepare for the spring season in the fall.

The depth of the hole is 60 cm, diameter is 80 cm. The edge should be plumb so that the soil settles evenly. There should be no buildings or other trees surrounded by 5 m, otherwise the seedlings will not receive enough sunlight and air.

Fertilizers are spread at the bottom of the pit: ash, lime, phosphorus or potash. A hill is built from the soil saturated with oxygen. The roots of the future tree are placed in it. Sprinkle on top with soil and pour 3 buckets of water.

When the ground dries up, the trunk circle should be mulched. Mulch is a material for protecting roots from frost, retaining moisture in the soil, and reducing the growth of weeds. Use chips, grass, leaves, straw and sawdust.
