What shrubs should not be cut in the spring

Dacha, as they say, no one canceled, and if so, then you need to put in order the dwelling, and the plot, and, of course, decorative shrubs, which always grow abundantly in the village yards. If you live in the city, but are fleeing these days from loneliness in the country, then you can understand your thirst for activity. Nevertheless, every case must be approached wisely. pruning - just like that.



A friend who bought a house in the village and cleans the shrub every spring at the country, constantly complains that then there is no normal flowering, the foliage is weak. But the neighbor’s grandfather literally drowns in flowers. I could not stand it, went to visit the council to ask. Editorial "Site" I would be happy to share the results of the conversation.



Pruning shrubs Afanasy Nikitich (the name of our grandfather) only grins in response: “I see that you want to do a good deed, but you do not have knowledge.” Look at the lilac right in front of my window. My grandmother, Praskovya Emelyanovna, planted as soon as this house was rebuilt. A hundred years ago. Didn't you know lilacs have longer lives than humans? That.



According to Afanasy Nikitich, pruning of fruit trees and shrubs usually begins in the spring, even before the juice goes. But there is a fairly extensive group of shrubs, in which flower buds are formed last season on new shoots.



If you clean such a shrub at the usual time, as is customary, it is not surprising that most kidneys will simply be destroyed. Therefore, spring pruning of these shrubs is unacceptable.



Athanasius Nikitich cleans the shrubs after flowering. He says that it is possible to form a crown and provide future flowering. Shoots that have already blossomed should be shortened by about a third, new ones will appear well.



If he sees that there are damaged or frozen branches, he removes them all the same before the juice goes. That is, it produces the usual spring cleaning, but carefully so that the fragile plant does not harm.



Some sections are sealed by an experienced gardener in order not to bring an infection into the plant and reduce overall stress. In general, he says that he prunes in dry and overcast weather: so, in his opinion, plants are easier to tolerate intervention.



Finally, Afanasy Nikitich shared a whole list of shrubs that should not be pruned in the spring. This lilac, which has already been discussed above, hydrangea, jasmine, forsytia, currants, barberry, honeysuckle, Japanese kerria, weigela, deicia and spirea. Now he has mostly lilac, barberry and a lot of currants, and the house is full of hydrangeas.



From the conversation, my friend realized that pruning - It's delicate. I decided this time before flowering not to touch them at all, it is interesting, they say, to see the result. And then on the principle of Grandpa Afanasia is going to do. We suggest you share this article with others, because everyone wants to see the lush color of trees and shrubs in their country.
