There was a time when people were in no hurry to live their lives. She flowed measuredly and decorously. Today, many are trying to get ahead of time, wanting to get more out of life in the shortest possible time. Newly made summer residents are not lagging behind. They do not want to wait for a shrub or tree to grow from a small fragile seed. Their garden should rustle with foliage right away, here and now. It turns out that this is a very real and achievable dream. After all, you can immediately plant large adult trees, creating favorable conditions for them
What is considered a large size
For those who want to get a ready-made garden within 2-3 years, nurseries and wildlife have prepared shrubs, the height of which exceeds 2.5 meters. Trees are classified as large trees with a height of 2.5 to 4.5 meters and above.
The Russian market keeps up with the times and offers a large number of large-sized woody plants. The variety of breeds and varieties dazzles. But do not chase the exotic. If you do not have free time to care for capricious aliens, choose trees that grow from century to century in your climate zone. And when there is a place to hide in the shade from the scorching summer sun, then you can dream about the exotic.
Popular giants
Fir-trees, pines and thuja are in special demand in the giants market. If you want your trees to be different from those that are located in the woods near the dacha, you can choose decorative varieties of spruce and pine.
Decorative spruce
• Colorado spruce - there are varieties with different colors of needles. The variety "Glauca" with blue needles is very popular in the design of memorial parks and alleys. Variety "Aurea" will delight young golden needles, which, as they age, turn green. The Hoopsii variety has a dense, symmetrical crown. All of the listed varieties of spruce will perfectly cope with the role of a living New Year tree.
• Serbian spruce - its narrow-conical crown will also easily turn into a living New Year tree.
• Norway spruce - its varieties "Inversa" and "Pendula" are distinguished by flowing weeping branches.
Decorative pines
• Scots pine - slender beauty is good in itself, but it also has decorative varieties with bluish-green needles: "Watereri" with a narrow conical crown and "Fastigiata" with a low-set compact crown.
• Weymouth Pine and Balkan Pine - very graceful pines with dark green long needles.
• Cedar pine - it is often called cedar, forgetting that cedar is a thermophilic tree, but cedar pine perfectly tolerates Siberian frosts, treating people with hearty and healthy pine nuts.
Decorative thuja
Thuja western is very popular with gardeners and has many decorative varieties. Among them are: "Brabant" and "Fastigiata", "Piramidalis" and "Spiralis", characterized by a varied crown shape. There are thuja and needles with different colors. So "Aurea" has golden needles, and "Albo-spicata" - silvery.
Deciduous large-sized
Among deciduous trees, birch, linden, red oak, maple, mountain ash, chestnut are popular with summer residents.
Birch
It is very promising to have a symbol of Russia in a suburban area - a white-trunk weeping birch. It has three advantages over other deciduous trees:
1. Birch is perfectly adapted to our climate, withstands both drought and frost.
2. Does not require special soil, easily takes root on any.
3. Fits harmoniously into the Central Russian landscape.
The birch is so good that it doesn't try too hard to differ in varieties. Perhaps the Golden Cloud and Purpurea flaunt their variegated foliage (golden and purple), while Youngii and Tristis have thin long branches.
Maple
The most popular with us is the Norway Maple, which has many decorative varieties.
Such species as Red Maple and Silver Maple are also interesting.
Note: in the photo, young shoots ate "Aurea".
