Planting
Pruning deciduous bush can be divided into 4 grouping : Those that requireminimal pruning(take out only dead , diseased , discredited , or span branches , can be done in early spring.);spring pruning(encourages vigorous , unexampled development which produces summer flowers - in other Word , flowers look on new wood);summer pruning after flower(after unfolding , cut back shoot , and take out some of the sure-enough growth , down to the ground);suckering habit pruning(flowers appear on wood from old year . Cut back flowered shank by 1/2 , to strong grow new shoots and get rid of 1/2 of the flowered stems a couple of inch from the ground ) Always remove dead , damaged or diseased wood first , no matter what type of pruning you are doing .
example : Minimal : Amelanchier , Aronia , Chimonanthus , Clethra , Cornus alternifolia , Daphne , Fothergilla , Hamamelis , Poncirus , Viburnum . bound : Abelia , Buddleia , Datura , Fuchsia , Hibiscus , Hypericum , Perovskia , Spirea douglasii / japonica , Tamarix . Summer after flower : 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 golf hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the same spirit level the bush was in the container . If grease is poor , dig hole even wider and fill with a mix half original territory and one-half compost or soil amendment .
cautiously remove shrub from container and gently separate roots . Position in heart of cakehole , best side facing forward . occupy in with original grease or an amended mixture if involve as described above . For larger shrubs , establish a water well . Finish by mulching and water well .
If the industrial plant is balled - and - burlapped , remove fasteners and close back the top of natural burlap , pucker it down into pickle , after you ’ve positioned shrub . verify that all gunny is buried so that it wo n’t wick water away from rootball during blistering , ironical point . If celluloid burlap , take away if potential . If not possible , cut away or make slits to appropriate for root to develop into the Modern soil . For larger bush , build a water well . Finish by mulching and watering well .
If shrub is bare - root , look for a discolouration somewhere near the root word ; this mark is likely where the grime line was . If stain is too sandy or too clayey , add organic matter . This will help with both drain and piss keeping capacity . Fill soil , firming just enough to defend bush . Finish by mulch and irrigate well .
Problems
Prevention and Control : If potential , select resistant kind . Keep nitrogen - heavy fertiliser to a minimum as well as over - irrigating as they encourage lush growth . Practice crop rotation and prune out or better yet remove infected plants . fungus kingdom : Leaf SpotsLeaf spot are make by kingdom Fungi or bacteria . brownish or black spots and plot of ground may be either ragged or circular , with a H2O soaked or yellow - butt against show . Insects , pelting , marked-up garden tool , or even the great unwashed can help its spread .
Prevention and Control : take away infected leaves when the plant is dry . Leaves that collect around the alkali of the flora should be rake up and dispose of . avert overhead irrigation if possible ; water should be directed at grunge floor . For fungal leaf spot , utilise a recommend fungicide accord to recording label directions .
Miscellaneous
Prevention and Control : Keep computer virus carriers such as aphid , leafhoppers , and thrips under control . These plant feeding insects spread out viruses . Viruses can also be usher in by infected pollen or through plant opening ( as when rationalize ) . set out bykeeping the pathogen outof your garden . New plants should be tally , as well as tools and existing plant . Use only certified seed that is deemed disease - free . Plant only resistant varietiesandcreate a discouraging environmentby rotating crops , not plant closely relate plants in the same area every year .
