The deciduous tree with the melodious name "Ailant" has earned the status of an international urban weed with its rapid growth. Its spreading crown, resistant to the exhaust gases of cars, can be found in friendly ranks along city streets, as well as in city parks and gardens. The tree, which was born in warm Asian regions, firmly endures not too fierce Siberian frosts, taking on some of the harmful industrial emissions into the atmosphere so that people can breathe easier
Rod Aylant
Just one letter separates the representatives of the Ailanthus genus from the legendary Atlanteans who support the sky. Although they are inferior in growth to the mighty saviors of earthly life, growing to a height of 25 meters, they have a uniquely rapid growth rate, for which they are ranked as weeds. They unceremoniously seize neighboring territories, which is very similar to human individuals. True, stopping their agility is much easier than finding justice for a person's ambitions.
The fingers of both hands are enough to count the number of species of the genus. Deciduous trees are resistant to low and high temperatures, however, they are unfavorable to severe frosts, and also do not welcome cold winds. The plant is dioecious, moreover, the flowers and leaves of males are distinguished by a musky smell, which not all people like.
Varieties
* Aylant glandular (Ailanthus glandulosis) or
Aylant the highest (Ailanthus altissima) - he is the tallest among his relatives, and by the standards of other trees, the height of 20-25 meters cannot be called "the highest". But the beauty of the tree is not in its height, but in a wide spreading crown formed by red-brown branches with complex long (up to 60 cm) leaves, consisting of petiolate oval-elliptical leaves. Silkworm caterpillars love to dine on Ailant leaves to provide energy to weave better quality silk threads. Therefore, in China, Ailant is not considered a weed, but is called"
Chinese ash And whole plantations of trees are planted.
Chinese ash - a dioecious plant, with a clear division into males and females. From the end of May to July, the tree is overgrown with large erect inflorescences, panicles, collected from small nondescript greenish flowers. The inconspicuousness of the flowers pays off with the reddish winged fruits, the wings of which are intricately twisted, giving the tree a special decorative effect throughout most of the winter.
* Islant Giralda (Ailanthus giraldii) - similar to the above-described relative, but covered with larger leaves with leaves closely sitting on the shoot, the number of which on one leaf is more than that of Ailant glandular.
* Aylant Wilmora (Ailanthus vilmoriana) is a shorter tree (up to 18 meters high) with thorny young shoots. Pointed oblong-lanceolate leaves form long, almost one meter long leaves.
Growing
The extremely simple cultivation of Ailant and the rapid growth rate of the tree (sometimes adds three meters per year) make it attractive for landscaping settlements.
Resistance to diseases and pests, to air pollution, unpretentiousness to soils and illumination of the seat, only add popularity to the tree. True, his colonialist disposition is not always appropriate in summer cottages. Therefore, to decorate your coveted acres of land, it is hardly worth acquiring another annoying weed, which is already countless even in the harsh frosty regions.
The rapid growth of the tree gives a chance to grow it from seed, burying it in the fall in a container that should be kept in an unheated room. Grown seedlings are given personal containers in order to nurture them indoors for another two or three years, and then determine them in the open ground.
Propagate the plant even faster with root growth.
When buying seedlings, give preference to females so as not to spoil the already spoiled ambient air.
