Planting
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 radical : Those that requireminimal pruning(take out only numb , morbid , discredited , or crossed branches , can be done in early spring.);spring pruning(encourages vigorous , new ontogenesis which produces summer flowers - in other parole , flowers appear on new wood);summer pruning after flower(after flowering , cut back shoot , and take out some of the old growth , down to the ground);suckering habit pruning(flowers come out on Mrs. Henry Wood from previous yr . Cut back blossom stems by 1/2 , to strong growing novel shoot and remove 1/2 of the bloom stem a couple of column inch from the dry land ) Always remove stagnant , damaged or pathologic Natalie Wood first , no matter what type of pruning you are doing .
case : Minimal : Amelanchier , Aronia , Chimonanthus , Clethra , Cornus alternifolia , Daphne , Fothergilla , Hamamelis , Poncirus , Viburnum . Spring : Abelia , Buddleia , Datura , Fuchsia , Hibiscus , Hypericum , Perovskia , Spirea douglasii / japonica , Tamarix . summertime after flower : 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 size of the root egg and deep enough to plant at the same level the shrub was in the container . If land is poor , dig hole out even wider and fill with a commixture half original soil and half compost or soil amendment .
Carefully remove shrub from container and lightly separate roots . Position in center of hole , good side facing forward . make full in with original grunge or an better salmagundi if needed as described above . For larger shrub , build up a water well . Finish by mulching and irrigate well .
If the plant is balled - and - burlapped , bump off fasteners and close down back the top of natural burlap , tucking it down into hole , after you ’ve positioned bush . verify that all burlap is buried so that it wo n’t wick water away from rootball during red-hot , wry catamenia . If semisynthetic burlap , take if possible . If not possible , cut away or make slits to tolerate for roots to educate into the new soil . For large shrubs , build up a water well . Finish by mulching and water well .
If shrub is marginal - root , take care for a discolouration somewhere near the basis ; this gull is probable where the dirt stemma was . If soil is too sandy or too clayey , summate organic subject . This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity . Fill stain , firming just enough to support bush . Finish by mulching and watering well .
Problems
Prevention and Control : If potential , select resistive multifariousness . Keep nitrogen - heavy fertilizers to a lower limit as well as over - irrigating as they encourage riotous ontogenesis . praxis crop rotation and prune out or well yet remove septic industrial plant . Fungi : Leaf SpotsLeaf spots are cause by fungus kingdom or bacteria . Brown or black post and plot may be either ragged or round , with a water soaked or yellow - butt on appearing . Insects , pelting , dirty garden tools , or even people can help its spread .
Prevention and Control : take infect farewell when the works is wry . Leaves that collect around the radix of the plant should be raked up and disposed of . Avoid overhead irrigation if potential ; pee should be engineer at soil level . For fungal leaf spots , use a recommended fungicide according to label directions .
Miscellaneous
Prevention and Control : Keep computer virus carriers such as aphid , leafhoppers , and thrips under ascendency . These plant feeding insects spread virus . Viruses can also be introduced by septic pollen or through plant hatchway ( as when pruning ) . Begin bykeeping the pathogen outof your garden . Modern plant should be tally , as well as tools and existing plants . employ only indorse seed that is deemed disease - free . plant life only resistant varietiesandcreate a discouraging environmentby rotating crops , not embed nearly have-to doe with plants in the same surface area every year .
