Autumn is the best time to plant new seedlings. However, not all shrubs and trees can easily tolerate low temperatures. There are certain shrubs and trees that take root better at this time of year.
Currant
The most suitable months for planting are September and October. During this period, the plant will have time to take root and grow. The first berries will appear in the coming season. A large crop of currants give seedlings at the age of 2-3 years.
An excellent neighborhood for currants would be onions. He will save the bushes from a kidney tick. In addition to onions, Jerusalem artichoke and honeysuckle can be planted with it.
Redcurrant prefers sunny places, so planting next to trees is not worth it. Blackcurrant is shade tolerant, can withstand the shadow of a small tree, such as plum, apple tree, strawberry.
Spruce
The best time to plant conifers will be from September to November. During this period, the tree goes into a state of rest, and the survival rate of the root system is much higher than in spring.
Eating tend to dump needles. And it acidifies the soil, so the best neighbors for spruce will be perennials and annuals (phlox, hydrangea, lily,), cereals (fescue, feather grass, ears of wheat), forest plants (fern, forest burn).
Honeysuckle
The best time for planting honeysuckle is from August to October. The main thing to have time to land before the onset of cold weather. It takes about 30 days to root the shrub. It grows well with stone fruits and pome crops.
It can also be planted next to trees such as apple trees, pears, cherries, plums. Honeysuckle of all the common fruit crops, the very first begins to bear fruit. Berries are harvested in the second year after planting.
Fir
Planting fir is preferable in September at the age of 5-7 years. Fir grows quite high, which is why you should not plant conifers in the vicinity of houses and high-voltage wires. Such a tree needs a lot of nutrients, so the proximity to other trees is not desirable.
Thuja
It is better to plant thaw in autumn before the onset of cold weather in September or October. Before landing, consider the climate zone. 30 days before the lasting cold weather will be the best time to land. The later the thuja is planted, the less time will be for its rooting and the more likely it is that the tree will not tolerate winter.
Raspberries
Raspberry planting dates vary from early September to mid-October. For this, annual root shoots are used. Near the bush you can plant currants and gooseberries. Strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes should not be planted with it, since they can transmit diseases to a friend. Fruits appear depending on the variety and size of seedlings.
Chokeberry
You can plant from early September to November. It is important to catch the cold. In order for the tree to take root better, experts advise to remove the shoots and leave no more than 6 buds. Fruits in the third year after planting.
Harvesting will be possible every year. Such a plant will get along with any shrubs in your garden. An exception is cherry, as they can be sick with the same aphid disease.
Willow
Willow is propagated by cuttings or seeds. During dormancy, the tree can be planted until late autumn. The willow family looks beautifully separate from all plants and other trees. Under it is better to plant a lawn.
Birch
Hot summers are not suitable for planting birch. An adult tree needs about 20 buckets of water per day, so it simply dries. Seedlings take root better in late autumn, when the air temperature is at least + 10 ° C in the northern part of the site.
Birch, like all trees, has a powerful root system, which tends to take a lot of light, trace elements of the earth, moisture. For this reason, do not plant fruit trees next to it, as they will not have enough food and they will die.
Chestnut
Chestnut is propagated by seedlings or seeds. In the first and second case, you can plant in the fall. A favorable time for planting beech trees is November. The best seedling age is 3 years. The first fruits appear in September next year. Chestnut is combined with birch, spruce, acacia.
Nut
At the time of planting, walnuts are directly affected by weather conditions. It is best planted during fall in September. In the autumn, in the northern regions, planted seedlings will freeze. When the nut grows, it will easily grow currants, gooseberries. The first crop appears after 6 years.
Gooseberry
Gooseberries are unpretentious shrubs. It is optimal to plant seedlings from September to October. During this period of the year, the earthen lump around the roots becomes denser and easier to grow in spring. Roots at low temperatures grow much faster than in warm weather.
The fruit and berry bush will grow perfectly in tandem with honeysuckle and red currants. Plum, cherry can be planted nearby. The neighborhood with blackcurrants, grapes, raspberries, strawberries will oppress him. Gooseberries can become infected or infect them.
Winter-hardy varieties of pears and apple trees
The best time for planting pears and apple trees is considered to be the beginning of September - the first decade of October, when there is no scorching sun, there is sufficient moisture in the soil and a suitable air temperature. Apple trees get along well with crops such as pear, honeysuckle, plum. Experts do not recommend planting apple trees next to currants, gooseberries, lilacs, mountain ash, as they will compete with each other and will not bear fruit.
The proximity of shrubs and trees such as fir, lilac, barberry, jasmine, viburnum, rose, horse chestnut will be detrimental to the pear. The tree will grow well with birch, oak, poplar, maple, linden.
The likelihood that a new shrub or tree will take root in the fall is much greater than in the spring. The root system manages to grow and take root in a new place. In the autumn season there are practically no sharp jumps in temperature, as in spring, and the earth is saturated with moisture.
