Planting
Pruning deciduous shrub can be divided into 4 groups : Those that requireminimal pruning(take out only drained , pathologic , damaged , or crossed branches , can be done in former spring.);spring pruning(encourages vigorous , newfangled ontogeny which develop summer flower - in other words , flowers come along on new wood);summer dress after flower(after flowering , cut back shoot , and take out some of the sometime growing , down to the ground);suckering habit pruning(flowers appear on Sir Henry Wood from late year . Cut back flowered stems by 1/2 , to strong grow new shoot and murder 1/2 of the bloom stem a duo of inches from the ground ) Always remove dead , damaged or pathologic forest first , no matter what type of pruning you are doing .
Examples : Minimal : Amelanchier , Aronia , Chimonanthus , Clethra , Cornus alternifolia , Daphne , Fothergilla , Hamamelis , Poncirus , Viburnum . bounce : Abelia , Buddleia , Datura , Fuchsia , Hibiscus , Hypericum , Perovskia , Spirea douglasii / japonica , Tamarix . summertime after bloom : 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 hole twice the sizing of the root word ball and deep enough to plant at the same level the shrub was in the container . If territory is poor , dig hole even broad and fill with a commixture half original land and half compost or soil amendment .
cautiously remove shrub from container and gently separate root . Position in center of hole , best side face up forward . make full in with original grunge or an amended mixture if need as describe above . For larger shrubs , build a water well . Finish by mulching and watering well .
If the plant life is balled - and - burlapped , remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap , tucking it down into hole , after you ’ve positioned bush . Make certain that all burlap is eat up so that it wo n’t wick urine away from rootball during blistering , dry period . If synthetic burlap , remove if possible . If not potential , thin out away or make slit to leave for roots to originate into the new grime . For larger shrubs , establish a water well . Finish by mulching and watering well .
If shrub is stark - root , look for a discolouration somewhere near the base ; this target is likely where the soil billet was . If dirt is too sandy or too clayey , add together constituent matter . This will help with both drain and water holding capacity . Fill land , firm just enough to fend for bush . Finish by mulching and watering well .
Problems
Prevention and Control : If potential , select resistant varieties . Keep atomic number 7 - heavy fertilizers to a lower limit as well as over - irrigating as they further lush ontogenesis . Practice crop rotary motion and prune out or better yet remove infected plant . Fungi : Leaf SpotsLeaf spots are cause by fungi or bacterium . Brown or black spot and patches may be either ragged or circular , with a piddle soak or yellow - edged appearance . insect , rainwater , dingy garden tools , or even people can help its spreadhead .
Prevention and Control : take away infected leaves when the flora is teetotal . Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of . Avoid overhead irrigation if potential ; water should be direct at ground layer . For fungal foliage berth , apply a recommended fungicide according to label directions .
Miscellaneous
Prevention and Control : Keep virus carriers such as aphids , leafhoppers , and thripid under control . These flora feeding insects open viruses . Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through plant first step ( as when pruning ) . Begin bykeeping the pathogen outof your garden . New works should be checked , as well as tools and existing plants . Use only certified seed that is deemed disease - free . industrial plant only insubordinate varietiesandcreate a discouraging environmentby splay crops , not planting closely relate plants in the same area every year .
