The durability of trees largely depends on the observance of proper care and wintering. The slightest deviation from technology leads to the death of seedlings. Let's analyze the terms of success
Care
For a young tree, watering plays a decisive role. Small roots are in the surface layer of the soil, insufficiently provide the seedling with water. Moisturizing every week helps it settle well in its new location. With heavy rainfall, excess moisture flows down grooves into the lower part of the mound.
The initial thorough filling of the soil with fertilizers makes it possible to do without additional fertilizing for 2 years. In the third season, when the buds open, nitrogen fertilizers are applied in the spring. Mullein infusion is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10. Up to two buckets are gradually poured under each seedling.
In the summer, they are fed twice with phosphorus-potassium preparations. Mix 20 g of potassium sulfate, 30 g of double superphosphate, dissolving in two buckets of liquid.
An annual update of the mulch layer is required, which covers the roots from the bright sun and overheating. An upper cover made of light-colored material is recommended: sawdust, straw cutting, to reflect the scorching rays.
In the first years, seedlings quickly grow 70-100 cm in height. After 10 years, the intensity of shoot formation decreases.
Preparing for winter
Pre-winter chores play an important role in the successful cultivation of peaches in the risky farming area. Without them, young animals do not tolerate harsh weather during the cold season.
The main condition is that the root system of seedlings should be in frozen soil from autumn. If snow falls at a temperature warmer than minus 10 degrees in a thick layer, then it is thrown away from the trunk, allowing the soil to be seized by frost.
This technique keeps the kidneys from waking up early in the spring, during the winter thaws, and increases the rest period. For the Middle Lane, severe frosts are not terrible. Blooming of leaves in cold weather, high snow cover is much more dangerous. The aboveground part wakes up faster than the underground one. Dormant roots do not provide the plant with nutrition. It dies from exhaustion.
In dry autumn, water-charging irrigation is given in the tree-trunk circles. Skeletal branches are whitewashed with lime, saving trees from spring sunburn. For prophylaxis, 200 g of copper sulfate, 0.5 kg of red clay are added to 1 kg of slaked milk. The mixture is diluted in 5 liters of liquid.
Shelter
The first year in the fall, 4 pegs are driven in around the trunk. The trunks are covered with spruce branches with needles down, tied with twine. A large white bag of loose cereals is thrown on top.
When the snow melts at the end of March, the shelter is removed, after the descent, the spruce branches are removed. A simple technique protects young animals from frost, sunburn, rodents (mice, hares).
For the second year, the grown trees are tied with spruce branches, they put frames with a stretched film, and fasten them with a furniture stapler. A non-woven material is put on top in 2 layers, tied with twine so that the plants inside do not overheat from the sun's rays. The frame with polyethylene serves as protection against drying out of the bark, gusts of wind. The temperature inside and outside the shelter is about the same.
During the winter, snow is trampled around the trunk. In early April, they begin to fold it out of the trunk circle. Allowing the soil to thaw faster during thaws to prevent death from awakening buds.
Uniform heating of the soil and branches allows you to simultaneously start the growth process. Otherwise, the bark dries up, the scion dies off. The unused energy of the stock leads to the formation of wild growth in large quantities below the graft level.
For the third year the peaches hibernated without shelter. At an air temperature of minus 38 degrees, all branches remained intact, no freezing was observed. For the first time the tree blossomed. It didn't reach the ovaries, the buds were dropped. The plant itself appreciated its strength, fragile seedlings are not ready to enter fruiting. A small harvest was obtained for 4 years of life. Further, under favorable spring conditions, ovaries are formed annually.
How to form a crown, we will consider the characteristics of varieties in the next article.
