Agricultural technology for growing Betula pendula seeds
Birch (Betula) is a genus of trees and shrubs native to temperate and cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Plants are distinguished by their unpretentiousness and can grow in different climatic conditions.
1. Choosing a landing site
Birch prefers well-lit places protected from the wind. The plant can grow in sun or partial shade, but in hot regions it is better to plant it in partial shade. Birch does not tolerate stagnant water, so it is important to plant it in elevated areas or in places with good drainage.
2. Soil
Birch prefers fertile soils with good drainage. Before planting, it is necessary to dig the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm and add organic fertilizers (humus, compost, peat).
3. Landing
Birch can be planted by seeds, cuttings or seedlings.
Sowing seeds: Birch seeds are sown in open ground in the spring, when the soil temperature reaches +10 °C. The seeding depth is 2-3 cm. The seeding rate is 20-30 seeds per 1 m².
Cuttings: Birch cuttings are cut at the beginning of summer and planted in a greenhouse or greenhouse. Rooting occurs within 2-3 weeks.
Planting seedlings: Birch seedlings are planted in open ground in spring or autumn. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 2-3 m from each other.
4. Birch care
Watering: Birch needs regular watering, especially in hot weather. It is necessary to water the plants abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out.
Feeding: Birch needs regular feeding. Plants need to be fed 2-3 times a month during the growing season. Mineral or organic fertilizers are used for fertilizing.
Pruning: Birch does not need pruning. However, it can be carried out to form the crown of a tree. Pruning is carried out in spring or autumn.
Diseases and pests: Birch is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, in some cases, plants may be attacked by the following pests:
- Spider mite: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Aphids: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to become deformed and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
5. Reproduction
Birch propagates by seeds, cuttings or seedlings.
Seed propagation: Seed propagation is carried out in the spring.
Cuttings: Cuttings are carried out throughout the growing season.
Layering: Layering can be done in spring or autumn.
Birch is used for landscaping parks, gardens and other areas. The plant is also well suited for growing in containers.
Additional Tips
- For abundant growth and development of birch, it is necessary to provide it with sufficient light and heat.
- Birch tolerates short-term droughts well, but during long periods without watering it can lose its leaves.
- In cold regions, birch trees must be covered for the winter. For shelter, you can use spruce branches, burlap or agrofibre.
