Spruce Inverse: short description, sowing and care

This amazing plant not only was able to adopt all the positive aspects of its relatives, but also to acquire its own.

Spruce (Picea abies) - Whitish

In this region, this evergreen tree began to gain popularity relatively recently. However, literally in one decade it conquered the hearts of many residents of Russia. And all because the Spruce Spruce has an extremely amazing shape of the crown. It is this card that makes this tree known all over the world.

True, using the word "krone" in the usual sense will be wrong. After all, it is formed artificially, tying or planting spruce shoots. In this case, the tree lacks the main trunk, because of which it is necessary to use a guide support or to strengthen one of the numerous shoots.

It is noteworthy that Spruce Spruce rarely grows to a height of more than 8 meters. Moreover, many trees freeze at around 6 meters. At the same time, the diameter of the "crown" varies between 2-2.5 meters. However, often gardeners themselves decide how big their tree will grow. The benefit of doing this is very simple, it is enough just to cut off unnecessary shoots on time. As for the needles, it is dark-green at the spruce, with a very dense arrangement of needles.

Saplings and tree planting

You can buy the Inverted Spruce at the horticultural store. It is best to take those plants that are sold in pots. This is due to the fact that such a tree will have stronger roots, and they will surely get accustomed to the new earth. In addition, the seedling can be planted at any convenient time, without worrying about that it will fade from lack of nutrients.

Plant this plant better in the middle of spring. It is during this period that the most favorable processes for growth occur in the soil. However, if necessary, you can do it at another time. The main thing is to provide young spruce with the right amount of moisture in the first week of her new life.

Spruce Inverse: description of care for it

Inverse steadily endures both the breathtaking heat and the terrible cold. She loves well-lit places, the penumbra slow her growth. On average, for one year the plant adds 15-25 cm in height, and in good soil and even more.

It tolerates sand and salt soil. But experienced gardeners recommend to overlay the main trunk with a small circle of hay, so that it retains moisture for a long time. Also, at least once every few years, fertilize the soil with nutrient extracts, which you can make yourself or buy in the store.

Among diseases, fungal diseases are most dangerous, which affects not only the needles, but also shoots themselves. At the slightest manifestations of a similar infection, disinfectants should be used. And if there is an opportunity, it is better to conduct periodic preventive work.
