Period of planting woody plants, part 2

When determining the planting time, the expected weather conditions should be taken into account at least for the next two weeks. It is known from practice, that, for example, in the spring period, usually at the beginning of May, a fairly rapid increase in temperature begins, which worsens the reception conditions of the planted plants. This period is generally quite short and usually lasts around 3 weeks. Earlier planting is usually not possible due to the frozen plant, too cold or excessively moist soil. Such conditions also make it difficult to dig up the plants in the nursery and deliver them. In spring, due to its short duration, it is better to plan planting in heavier and wetter soils.. On lighter and less humid soils, planting is better in the autumn, which is much longer. Plants planted in the fall are less vulnerable to damage due to lack of water.

Some trees, like for example. book, graby, peanuts, robinia, triiglic, must always be judged in the spring. They are hardwood trees, which start growing late and finish late. Birches are planted only in spring when there are clear signs of stimulated vegetation. In the spring, willows and poplars are also planted, as well as most conifers and evergreen plants. Conifers are best planted after the appearance of clear symptoms of the beginning of vegetation. In the spring season, deciduous trees and shrubs that are not frost-resistant are also planted.

In autumn, these trees and shrubs are planted first, that have finished vegetation. A symptom of this is leaf discoloration and dropping. In autumn, the temperatures are lower and the soil moisture is usually sufficient. Under these conditions, it is much easier to regenerate the root system, what determines the adoption of the plant. On the other hand, planting plants in autumn, during severe frosts or in already frozen ground, is unacceptable. Such plants will certainly not take root and they are in danger of dying off by drying out. You have to remember, that during the winter, plants lose water through transpiration. These losses are considerable, because at minus temperature the moisture content in the air is very low, that is, there is a great lack of it. The plant cannot replenish the lost water and damage and death occurs.
