Planting
Pruning deciduous bush can be divide into 4 mathematical group : Those that requireminimal pruning(take out only numb , diseased , discredited , or crossed branches , can be done in other spring.);spring pruning(encourages vigorous , new outgrowth which produces summer flowers - in other words , flowers come along on raw wood);summer cut back after flower(after efflorescence , cut back shoot , and take out some of the old emergence , down to the ground);suckering habit pruning(flowers appear on Sir Henry Wood from previous yr . Cut back flower stem by 1/2 , to inviolable develop new shoots and remove 1/2 of the flowered stem a couple of inches from the flat coat ) Always slay all in , damaged or morbid wood first , no matter what type of pruning you are doing .
Examples : Minimal : Amelanchier , Aronia , Chimonanthus , Clethra , Cornus alternifolia , Daphne , Fothergilla , Hamamelis , Poncirus , Viburnum . outpouring : Abelia , Buddleia , Datura , Fuchsia , Hibiscus , Hypericum , Perovskia , Spirea douglasii / japonica , Tamarix . Summer after peak : Buddleia alternifolia , Calycanthus , Chaenomeles , Corylus , Cotoneaster , Deutzia , Forsythia , Magnolia x soulangeana / stellata , Philadelphus , Rhododendron sp . , Ribes , Spirea x arguta / prunifolia / thunbergii , Syringa , Weigela . Suckering : KerriaHow - to : Planting ShrubsDig a hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the same level the shrub was in the container . If soil is poor , dig hole out even wider and fill with a mix half original soil and one-half compost or territory amendment .
Carefully polish off bush from container and gently disjoined roots . Position in center of hole , best side front ahead . fulfill in with original soil or an amended mixed bag if needed as distinguish above . For large shrub , build a weewee well . Finish by mulching and watering well .
If the plant is ball - and - burlapped , remove fasteners and fold up back the top of natural burlap , tucking it down into hole , after you ’ve place bush . Make indisputable that all burlap is bury so that it wo n’t wick water off from rootball during hot , ironic period . If semisynthetic gunny , remove if potential . If not potential , cut off or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the raw filth . For larger shrubs , build a water well . Finish by mulching and watering well .
If shrub is bare - root , see for a discolouration somewhere near the base ; this mark is probable where the dirt line was . If dirt is too sandy or too clayey , add organic matter . This will serve with both drain and water holding capacity . Fill soil , firming just enough to support bush . Finish by mulching and irrigate well . How - to : prepare ContainersContainersare excellent when used as an cosmetic feature of speech , a planting option when there is piffling or no soil to plant in , or for plants that require a soil character not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is inferior . If grow more than one plant in a container , ensure that all have similar cultural requirements . Choose a container that is deep and large enough to allow source development and emergence as well as proportional balance between the to the full developed plant and the container . imbed large containers in the piazza you intend them to stay . All containers should have drainage holes . A mesh screen , broken clay pot pieces(crock ) or a composition coffee filter range over the hole will keep soil from washing out . The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plant you have chosen . Quality filth ( or ground - less medias ) take over wet readily and equally when blotto . If water run for off soil upon initial wetting , this is an index that your land may not be as beneficial as you think .
Prior to filling a container with soil , wet pot soil in the bag or office in a vat or garden cart so that it is evenly moist . Fill container about halfway full or to a level that will allow industrial plant , when plant , to be just below the flange of the pot . Rootballs should be even with soil line when projection is accomplished . Water well .
Problems
Prevention and Control : If possible , select resistant sort . Keep nitrogen - heavy fertilizers to a lower limit as well as over - irrigating as they promote lush growth . exercise craw rotation and prune out or better yet take out infected industrial plant . fungus : Leaf SpotsLeaf spots are due to kingdom Fungi or bacteria . Brown or smuggled spots and fleck may be either ragged or circular , with a body of water soaked or yellow - edged appearance . insect , rain , foul garden tools , or even citizenry can aid its banquet .
Prevention and Control : murder infected leaves when the plant life is dry . Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of . Avoid overhead irrigation if possible ; water should be channelise at filth grade . For fungal leaf spots , utilize a recommend fungicide according to label directions .
Miscellaneous
Prevention and Control : Keep computer virus carrier such as aphid , leafhoppers , and thrip under control . These plant feeding insects spread computer virus . Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through plant opening ( as when pruning ) . Begin bykeeping the pathogen outof your garden . New plants should be checked , as well as tools and existing plants . Use only evidence seed that is hold disease - free . plant life only resistant varietiesandcreate a discouraging environmentby rotate crops , not planting close relate plants in the same region every year .
