Rowan is a very unusual tree. It has a lot of positive qualities, so many gardeners are sure to plant him on their garden plot. Thanks to the ability to be beautiful not only with blooming branches, but also with ripening clusters, rowan is often used to decorate the landscape. And the ancient Slavs and at all considered it a guard from unclean power.

Plant Features

Rowan is a fruit tree or shrub, which is well remembered at the expense of its bright fruits. Its growth can reach 10-20 meters. It is good not only with berries, but also wood, which is distinguished by strength and elasticity. In the past, she served as raw materials for making dishes, shuttles for weaving machines, handles for tools and axes for cart. Shrub shoots to this day are material for weaving furniture and different accessories.

The flowering of Ryabina is accompanied by a flib of the bees that collect fragrant pollen. From it, bees make honey reddish with a pleasant aroma. Especially important rowan landings for beekeeping when they failed for any reason, a lime and dormant honey intake did not succeed.

Once the rowan trees helped rural residents to set the timing of agricultural work and even determine the weather. It was believed that multiplodes foreshadowed rainy autumn and frosty winter.

Interestingly, in ancient, this cultural plant was endowed with a mystical force, which was designed to protect people from any negative impact. In order to protect the newlyweds from the damage and the evil eye, the rowan sheets were quenched into shoes of the bride and groom, and the berries were hid in their pockets. And with the help of a necklace of fruits defended young children.

Rowan trees typically have complex pasta leaves forming the overall crown in general. Some breeds are distinguished by a simple form of leaves, and therefore form a dense crown.

Its fruits have a rounded form with a diameter of 3-3.5 cm and weigh 20 g. From one shrub of this species, you can collect up to a hundred kilograms of fruits.

Rowan shrubs can be found in the undergrowth, among deciduous trees or in glades. And only in the highlands of Central Asia or in the Caucasus, you can meet a real steady rowan forest.

The best soil for this cultural plant is a rich in humus ground of weak acid. For him, constant moisturizing is important, since its roots are near the surface of the soil and need extra moisture. Ryabins of cold-resistant, and therefore feel great on open windy spaces.

The feature of the culture is that trees do not need to form a crown and trimming. All care for them consists of removing the broken branches and spraying the trunks with special means that the attack of the Tly and the tick will exclude.

How to grow?

You can grow rowan with your own hands in three ways: stalling, growing from seeds and eyepiece.

For the cultivation of a tree from seeds, it is necessary at the end of the autumn to stock up with several mature berries, to spill them and pour them with water. After the intake of meakty seeds, it is important to rinse and put in the ground to a depth of 0.5 centimeters, closing the soil with dry leaves and grass.

If sowing is planned in spring, then the preparation of seeds occurs somewhat differently. To begin with, they need to rinse, then put in a wet marla and close in the bank. In early January, the bank must be removed in the refrigerator to stratify seeds. And in the spring, they can be placed in the ground to a depth of 5 cm, covering the soil surface by humus.

Thunder seedlings with two-three leaves are picked, leaving a few centimeters between adjacent plants. The next selection must be carried out when the seedlings will acquire 5-6 leaves.

Saplings must often watered, feed the organic fertilizers, pour and loosen near them. In the fall, they will have to transplant to a separate area where they will remain for three years. For the fourth year, young trees begin to be fruit.

The seed method is only suitable for species varieties, the hybrid varieties can be grown by vaccination. The drawing is a convenient way to grow rowan. This is suitable for both green and weathered cuttings.

In order to plant a weathered stalk, you will need to prepare escape that grew on a 3-4-year-old tree branch. The cutlets need to be cut from the bottom and middle part of the branch, making the lower slice direct, and the upper - oblique. There should be some good kidneys on the cutting. It is necessary to plant it under the tilt of 45 degrees, enhancing the land after that. After disembarking the cutter, it is necessary to pour and feed the peat.

For planting a green cutter, you will need to cut a young branch from the top of the rowan. After that, it needs to be cleaned from the leaves, leaving 3-4 small leaves at the top. The lower cutting cut is important to put for several hours into a special solution for the root formation, and then rinse it with water. Sprinkling the cutter is necessary in a cold greenhouse and cover it with a transparent can. After a month, the bank can be removed and leave a seedling until next spring.

The eyepiece implies the vacuum vaccination on a sapling. For this method, you need to cook insert: on pure trunk you need to make a longitudinal cut of the bark at an altitude of 6-7 cm from the soil. Then you need to clean the barrel from the leaves and cut the kidney from it with part of the wood. The cut-out kidney needs to be placed in a cut section, firmly fixing the trunk of the bandage so that only the kidney can be seen from the outside. After a couple of weeks, the bandage must be removed, and next year in early spring cut off part of the stock, leaving a low spike over the kidney.

Fruit the vulnered seedlings begin four years after landing. But it is worth remembering that the method will only work if the kidneys are cut from a tree on vaccination day.

Care

Sea seedling requires a minimum of care. It is only necessary to remove weeds and the inhibition on time on time, as well as fertilize and water the plant. The rolling circle can be covered with dried leaves or grass. Before the tree begins to be fruit, there should be water in the rolling circle.

Starting from the third year of life, rowan trees need to fertilize.It is best to feed the plant three times a year: in spring, summer and autumn. Mineral fertilizer is placed in the upper layer of the soil, and then felted well.

Grafted rowanins begin to bring harvest for 3-4 years. It is advisable to plant several species at once to achieve a pollinating process between them.

For proper lighting and better crop you need to cut branks every year. It is better to do this in the spring until the kidney swolley. Young trees need only weak shortening or removing unnecessary shoots. And the fructing rowan needs to be frozen and shorten.

Ryabina, on which several varieties were embedded, it is necessary to cut half-minded branches annually, and in the years of a large harvest, the smallest branches.

To form the main skeletal branches, it is necessary to withdraw them at right angles. Distribution of branches under an acute angle leads to the loss of their strength.

Reproduction

For reproduction of rowan, you can use the tire method. The plot allotted for this should be well replenished and get rid of weeds. After you need to prepare a ditch and press it a strong one-year escape in it. To secure the branch you need to use wire brackets. As soon as the first shoots of 8-10 cm will appear on the discharge, they should be filled with humus and repeat this procedure until the shoots will shoot another 15 cm. And the next year you can separate the maternal shoot and transplant to another Plot.

There is another way of breeding rowan. For it, root crops are used, which grow around the trunk annually. These strokes need to cut and transplant in a separate space for permanent stay. For transplanting, it is necessary to prepare a hole with a depth and width of 75 cm and fill it with a mixture of compost, soil, superphosphate, manure and wood ash.

After planting, it is necessary to rush to pour a plant and trim it by a third.
