A spherical, pyramidal, cone-shaped, weeping or creeping - the appearance of the crown of a juniper can exist anyone who extends the ability of landscape design in the formation of compositions expressive in accordance with their own geometry. Counting little conifers, it is permissible to compose an unprecedented park, shiny according to its identity and style: landscape or permanent, avant-garde or traditional, ethnic or modern. Considering molded and unshaped junipers with an exotic crown, it is permissible to make a brilliant rocker
Dwarf junipers in the form of small bonsai and topiary are indispensable to bookmark the garden in the oriental style - they will be useful to decorate the rocky composition and ramification of paths, without losing a combination with ground cover and low plants: saxifrages, vertebrates, cleansers, carnations, phloxes and cereals. p>

A beautiful crown of junipers does not ask for a frequent remnant, but varieties growing in the form of a hectic hedge cut true: in the middle of age and in the spring, removing dry and certain side branches breaking out beyond the boundaries of the created crown. If juniper grows in a garden like bonsai, then the haircut is done in April-May and in October-November.
Choice of juniper variety for planting
The choice of juniper species for planting in the garden should possess complete information about its properties: winter hardiness, the size of the plant in its adult form, the shape and color of the crown, the criteria for feeding and nursing. Juniper that brings to us from Western European nurseries can exist, for example, quite resistant to cruel winters, causeless and non-resistant, successfully increasing without shelter, just in the southern regions, for the sake of the average strip of Russia.
Then the acquisition of a new coniferous plant even frost-proof) experienced gardeners advise him to cover it for the first winter with fir branches or sacking, tied up branches to avoid sunburn of needles and spoilage of the crown through the snow. The Juniper of the Gold Coast brand, who owns the golden needles, expressively contrasts with the more emerald greenery.
Employees of the Botanical Gardens of Russia have identified varieties of juniper that are applicable and inapplicable for feeding in the Russian latitudes.
Winter-resistant future juniper (Juniperus):
common (J. Communis),
Cossack (J. Sabina),
scaly (J. Squmata ),
horizontal (J. Horizontalis),
Siberian (J. Sibirica),
Chinese (J. Chinensis),
hard (J. Rigida),
virgin (J. Virginiana).
Non-susceptible future juniper:
Turkestanica,
inclined (J. Procumbens),
Seravshanica,
reddish (J. Oxycedrus ).
Successful rooting and gain of juniper is largely dependent on the properties of the acquired seedlings. Be the acquisition of planting material should direct homage to such moments:Plants with open root system is better not to buy . The desire to buy a juniper in a container or with a land lumpy wrapped burlap.
The root system and branches are forced to exist to see the benefit of the current age.
Fresh shoots must be flexible and unbreakable.
The crown paint must be uniform, without brownish impurities and snow-white flakes at the base of the needles.
It is recommended to select those plants that were grown in Juniperus with an open root system is planted in early spring or autumn, and seedlings with a ground coma - during only the period from the spring before light up. For the sake of the northern regions, the optimal planting in the spring is optimal - for no reason the seedling will have time to settle down, in order to transfer the winter more successfully. Combining junipers with different needles coloring,Development of planting of seedlings
Due to its own decorations, junipers are a successful election for the sake of a young garden, if a society of several conifers can immediately fill up the voids in the landscape and educate a pretty composition. For the landing of light-loving junipers, an open, perfectly illuminated garden zone is selected, with loamy or sandy loamy soil - nutritious and rather wet. The molded fence of the silvery-blue juniper is quite a prominent element of the landscape garden design
If the earth is clayey and heavy, a mess of garden land, peat, sand and coniferous land is added to the planting pit (a gentle land with needles collected around firs or pine trees in the forest). With all this pre-drain the soil, falling asleep for the bottom of the landing pit broken brick or dust. Juniper trees grow well for lean soils, they can easily delay drought, but stopping water in the ground for their own sake is harmful.
A more successful ground mash for the sake of planting juniper: 2 parts of turf ground, 2 parts humus, 2 parts peat , 1 share of sand. The desire is also to add 150 g of Kemira universal and 300 g of nitrofosque to the mash, as well as the epin of planting (for the sake of good survival) about a separate seedling. Horizontal junipers with a flattened crown successfully fit into the design of the area near the pond. Dimensions of the landing hole depend on the size of the juniper's root system, for example, for large species, dig a hole of the order of 60-80 cm. Plant the plant vividly , so that the root order does not have time to dry up, however cautious, in order not to spoil the land piece or young roots. After landing in the open land, juniper is watered a lot and covered through direct sunlight.
The density of juniper placement for a plot is depending on the landscape composition - is this a pretty fence, solitary or group planting. For the sake of junipers, the interval between seedlings to be planted is selected in the spectrum in 0.5 before 2 m. For small gardens it is better to brake for small-sized juniper species.
Grown juniper from seeds
the seeds of juniper for the sake of sowing proudly to observe time intervals - it is better to prepare not fully mature seeds at the end of the age than the ripe ones in autumn. For free, the possibility of germination is quite large. The harvested planting material must be sown immediately, however, it is necessary to exist ready, Group landing of the Chinese juniper will resurrect the park in the off-season and in the winter. You can plant a juniper for the site, excavated in the forest, pre-designating for its trunk the orientation in accordance with parts of the world, in order to simulate the transplanting of the peculiarity of its growth in the natural environment. A piece of"native"land is forced to exist tremendous, with a preserved top layer of humus.
It seems to be true to use fertilizers
Being able to choose juniper species that are resistant to Russian climatic conditions, the education of young plants is small - junipers practically do not suffer from pests and do not require saturated fertilizing and spraying. In the forthcoming, it is enough to ensure the watering of junipers in arid years and 2-3 times to support it with nitrogenous or all-encompassing fertilizers from time to time. Various varieties of juniper have differently colored needles, however, the needles of blue-green color often look great
Under no circumstances is it possible to fertilize coniferous breeds with bird or cow humus - through this, the roots of the juniper are burned and the plant dies. It is also impossible to loosen the soil near the junipers - due to the fact that the root order of the conifers belongs to the surface type, the feeding of the trunk will deteriorate and the plant will begin to ache. For the sake of juniper it is enough to mulch the land with coniferous land harvested in the forest.
Parenting in the winter gap
In winter, the formed juniper crowns about the weight of the snow can disintegrate, some branches break down. In order to avoid similar problems, the crowns of molded junipers are bundled in advance in advance. Individual future junipers are sensitive to changes in daytime and nighttime temperatures first of spring, active winter and spring sun and require shelter in February-March. Burns of needles lead to a change in the greenish color of the crown of conifers for brown-yellow color and, as it follows, to the loss of juniper ornamentation. The horizontal juniper of Plumoza variety acts as a ground-cover plant for the sake of rock garden
If the conifers of the conifers remain alive, the young shoots evenly cover the burned places, but if the kidneys are lost, the affected branches through the frosts must respond to healthy tree species and treat them with garden fumes.
the needles of the juniper kept brightness in the winter, the plant should be accurately watered, fertilized in spring and at the end of the age with granulated bait, and pine needles sprayed with microfertilizers.
Gardeners practice such future juniper sanctuary for winter:
Draft. A brilliant variation for the sake of small and creeping forms - a simple sediment is deposited for the branch of the conifers. However, it is recommended to perform a protective frame in order to be abundant in snow. lapnikom. Fix for branches tiers, moving from the bottom to the top of juniper.
Nonwoven and woven materials. Ephedra overwrapped spunbond, burlap, kraft paper (two layer), a light cotton cloth and tied with a rope, leaving the lower part of the crown open. It is impossible to remove the film - the plant is quite old.
Screen. It is installed from the very illuminated side of the plant. For the sake of a juniper shelter, lutrasil does not fit - it misses the sun's rays, not entirely successful also the shelter and from cardboard boxes. In accordance with the experience of gardeners, as a shelter for the conifers, metalized insulation, used for laying a laminate, is well suited. For this reason, in October (for the time being, the soil is not again frozen), pegs are driven in near the juniper, and the plant is wrapped in the substrate in November. Horizontal juniper Bar Harbor with a rounded crown beautifully complemented the hardwood hardwood planting
