Storage of woody plants

In case of need for longer storage of plants, especially in poorly shielded areas, downward is applied. To do this, dig a groove in the most appropriate place to allow the roots to be placed freely and place the plants in it., thus reducing the heating of the surface of trunks and shoots. In shaded places - plants are placed inclined in the direction of blowing winds; such an arrangement reduces their drying effect. Then cover the roots with loose soil or peat compost and water.

The inability to plant pitted plants may result (especially in the spring time) they start growing vegetation. To some extent, this can be prevented by completely covering the pitted plants with mats, or straw. To do this, the plants must be bent or laid down very sharply.

Planting plants with buds developing on hot and dry days always runs the risk of not catching them. Therefore, it is very important to plant these plants first, which are the earliest to start growing. Plants not planted in the spring and stored until autumn usually become worthless material. Winter storage of plants is less dangerous, if they are protected against drying out by appropriate bottoming and covering.

For any kind of plant storage, even short-term, it is necessary to maintain a certain order of plants. It is most convenient to lower the plants in the alphabetical order of generic and species names according to the inventory. All plants should be labeled with the name of the species or variety, or at least a listing order number.
