Tui Smaragd: description

This plant was brought to Europe in the 16th century. The French king was fascinated by the beauty of the Tui and demanded that all the plots in the royal park be planted exclusively by her. In Russia she was only introduced to her in the 18th century, but she quickly got accustomed to it.

Tuya is a rather tall tree. Its fine needles look like scales. The cones are small, about 1 centimeter. The tree has a specific smell, reminiscent of the aroma of camphor.

The variety of colors and shades is what distinguishes Tuy West Smaragd. The height and appearance of this plant can be varied. It all depends on the growing conditions.

Choose a place

The main positive quality of thuja is that it is not too whimsical about the quality of the soil and the amount of moisture. Meanwhile, the plant is very photophilic. Comfortable place - a pledge that on your site will grow healthy and beautiful Thuya Smaragd. Planting in autumn is no exception. At this time of the year, you also need to choose the sunny part. If you plant a thuja in a shady place, it will grow rare, which means it will not look so attractive.

Although this plant is unpretentious to the soil, it is nevertheless worth it to plant it in a well permeable and fertile soil. A sufficient factor will also be sufficient water. On dry soil, thuja can turn yellow and crumble.

If you have acquired seedlings, then be sure to ask when to plant thu and what are its roots, since some species have their own characteristics.

If the landing site is chosen correctly, then care of this evergreen tree is almost not required.

We land thuju

What you need to do to make your land grow and grow thuja? There are several general rules:

1. First you need to prepare a place. For planting it is necessary to excavate a pit in the ground. Its depth and width depend on how well developed the seed system has the root system. In general, its diameter is not more than one hundred centimeters.
2. Sometimes the thuja is planted in a heavy or humid soil. In this case, the landing pit is filled with drainage. Its layer should not be more than fifteen centimeters. To do this, most often used expanded clay or broken bricks. But you can use other solid material.
3. You need to fill the pit with a mixture of earth, sand and peat. It is also desirable to add fertilizers, which will help the root system of the plant to get stronger and take root.

During the landing, pay special attention to the root collar. It should be placed on one level with the ground. The main thing is to act very carefully. The cervix can not be lifted strongly above the soil, nor deeply buried. If the plant is planted incorrectly, it will simply dry up and die.

That's essentially all the effort that will require you to plant Tui Smaragd. How to properly plant thuya, we learned. Now you need to take care of the seedlings.

We care for the seedlings

Saplings of this evergreen plant need fertilizing to ensure that they are fully rooted in the soil and quickly passed the period of stress from disembarkation.

For fertilizing thai, phosphoric or potash fertilizers are used. But remember: in the spring it is necessary to do two-three-week breaks.

Watering seedlings is necessary every day, and once a week to carry out sprinkling with a hose. Thanks to this procedure, dirt and dust will leave the surface of the plants. If the weather is very hot, then the procedures are repeated daily, in the morning and in the evening.

Touya Smaragd. Planting in autumn: features

Autumn planting of thui has its own subtleties. In order to do this correctly, you must follow several rules.

Too late to put it is impossible. The plant will not have time to grow stronger and is unlikely to survive the winter cold.

What are the timeframes that will make the Smuragd fit well on the site? Landing in autumn in an ideal variant should be made in September or in the very beginning of October, before constant frosts will begin. By the time when the real cold comes, the roots of the seedlings should already have time to fully take root.

The ground near the trunk of the thuja is covered with fallen leaves, needles or compost. Then the roots of the plant will be protected against frost.

When snowfalls begin, the needles must be cleared of snow from the snow, as weak young branches can not withstand the severity and break down.

If you listen to these tips, then your plant will easily survive its first winter.

Reproduction of tuja by cuttings

Tuyu is very easy to propagate by cuttings. This task is possible even for novice amateur gardeners.

The best time for cuttings is autumn. In the spring and summer period, the stalk often wilts and does not have time to take root. This part of the article describes the main thing that you need to do in order for you to grow a healthy thuja: planting and leaving in the fall. Smaragd is a globular western - the plant is not too whimsical. It remains only to listen again to some of the advice and a little patience.

1. It is necessary to find the strongest lateral shoots from plants and to tear them off with a sharp movement. Try to keep the so-called "heel" (a piece of bark) on the tip of the branch.
2. The entire lower needles must be removed. After this cuttings are planted in pots. They are deepened by 2-3 centimeters into fresh soil. It is best to mix leaf land, sand and peat in equal parts. The remaining foliage should not touch the ground.
3. In order for the stalk to take root quickly, it must be dipped into the solution of the drug "Heteroauxin" before planting. After planting cuttings are covered with transparent containers (you can, for example, use cans). Pots with seedlings are placed in a greenhouse on a sunny but bright spot. Cuttings need daily airing. If the humidity level is too high, the shoots can rot. In such conditions the stalk will remain until the summer comes.
4. If new shoots appear on the cuttings, then your escape has taken root. However, you do not need to immediately transfer it to a permanent place. As soon as the first warm days come, thuju must begin to temper. The plant is left for several hours on the street.

As you have already understood, planting and breeding Tui Smaragd, further care for the plant will not require you to make any significant effort.

Wintering

The plants need to be sheltered for the winter. Best for this purpose is suitable burlap, which will not interfere with the breathing of thuya. Remember: polymer as well as synthetic material does not protect against frost. The fabric does not need to be tightened too tightly, it can disrupt the air circulation, which will lead to tuya deflating during thaw and further damage.

You can also use a special fertilizer that helps plants to survive the winter cold. Just do not overdo it!
