Planting fruit trees

In order for the plants to feel well, first of all, the climatic conditions in which they grow are taken into account. Buildings on the site make changes, creating a microclimate - they affect the lighting, they are closed from the wind. This is also taken into account.

Plants already present on the territory can change the composition of the soil. Trees and shrubs with a powerful, developed root system consume a large amount of moisture, draining the soil. They need a lot of nutrients, which depletes the soil.

When placing new plants, these nuances must be taken into account.

Gardeners recommend planting fruit trees on the north side of the garden. Tall trees, casting a large amount of shade, will not harm other plantings.

If the buildings on the site are just being planned, it is better to move them deeper. Low trees are placed in front of them so as not to shade the windows.

When choosing varieties of fruit trees and shrubs, preference is given to those that quickly enter the fruiting season.

Planting fruit bushes

Shrubs are planted on the south side. This will give the plants enough light for successful growth and harvest.

Of the fruit, they prefer:

  • gooseberries;
  • raspberries;
  • currants.

Plants are unpretentious to care for, multiply easily, bear fruit abundantly. And they are resistant to climate change.

Ornamental plants

Ornamental plants are placed in such a way that their shape is in harmony with the relief or laconically fits into the overall composition.

For instance:

  • next to stairs and walls;
  • at the bends of garden paths;
  • along the perimeter of the site;
  • as a hedge;
  • next to the flower garden;
  • as single plantings on lawns.

Light-loving plants are placed on the south side. The best for trees and shrubs are plantings organized according to the principle of tiering. Then each plant receives a sufficient amount of light, nutrients and moisture.

For decorative plantings, other nuances are also taken into account:

  • Seasonality. Compositions with continuous flowering look spectacular. When some plants fade, others begin to bloom. Or when some have a green crown, while others are already changing color.
  • Varieties. They compose compositions, playing in contrast: conifers and deciduous, with dark foliage and bright green.
  • Age. The plantings of spruce trees of different ages look beautiful.

Regular and landscape planning

When planning plantings on a garden plot, two main types are adhered to: regular and landscape.

With regular - trees and shrubs are placed in even rows at equal intervals. This greatly facilitates the care of fruit plants, and they do not interfere with each other. Everyone gets the right amount of light and nutrients.

The landscape layout is freer and closer to the natural style. When landing, they take into account the schemes, make up compositions and groups. Ornamental plants can coexist with fruit plants, complemented by flowers and even vegetables.

Layout of a small plot

In a small area, it is important to make the most of the space. For the front garden, take no more than 3 fruit trees. They are placed between residential buildings and a fence. Therefore, they prefer unpretentious varieties. For example, columnar. These trees are compact and undemanding to care for. They are highly resistant to weather fluctuations, pests and diseases. They give a good harvest that is easy to harvest.

Most often these are:

  • Apple trees: Medok, Arbat, President, Amber necklace.
  • Plums: Imperial, Mirabella, Olenka.
  • Pears: Decor, Carmen, Sapphire.

Competent site planning is the key to success. The event makes it possible to successfully grow a garden, vegetable garden, ornamental plants. At the same time, the territory will look well-groomed and pleasing to the eye.
