Planting and care

The unpretentiousness of Volochaevka does not exclude the need to follow the most simple but important rules.
Landing

1. Planted in Aprilbefore the buds bloom at a distance of 3 meters in pits with a diameter of 60 cm and the same depth. The goal is to locate the root system in a straightened position.
2. Initially, it is desirable to inspect the roots: cut off the damaged ones, and if they are too dry, hold them in water for several hours.
3. Humus, potassium chloride, superphosphate, and ashes are added to the ground, and clay sand.
4. A peg is hammered into the center to which the seedling is tied. Then the mixture is poured, the surface is leveled and compacted so that the radical neck protrudes slightly from the soil. The roller is made so that the hole is formed.
5. Watering is done with 2-3 buckets.
6. The landing hole is mulched - it protects from moisture evaporation and from cracking (with straw, compost).

Care
It includes various activities:

• Protection from frost serve as secretions and smoke. The space under the crown is covered with snow, and then with a layer of mulch. It keeps the soil frozen longer, the flowering will be delayed and the cooling will go without loss.

  When you smoke, sawdust or peat is ignited so as to form dense smoke, which allows you to protect Volochaevka from the cold. This is a popular way, the disadvantages of which include non-environmental friendliness and the complexity of taking wind direction into account.

• Fertilizer. For several years, what was added at the beginning is enough. After that they give additional feeding, but in moderation: overfed trees suffer the winter worse.

  Compost and manure and mineral fertilizers are used. The specific strategy may vary and depends on the condition of the trees and other factors, and usually looks like that:

  4. Ammophosh is applied in the fifth and sixth year;
  5. 7th - urea in the spring in the near-stem circle for digging, and in the fall - superphosphate and potassium sulfate, organics are added to the annular grooves;

  Subsequently in a year - mineral substances and once in four years organic in the amount specified for the seventh year.

  We must not forget about liming every five years. For this purpose, limestone, chalk and dolomite are used.

• Loosening the land spend during the entire growing season at least three times. Well-loosened and weed-free land helps growth and protects against parasites.
