In the capital started preparing trees for spring. Young trees, which appeared last year in the center and on the outbound highways under the program “My street” will give a beautiful shape by removing unnecessary branches. Inspection and pruning began with the Norway maples that grow on the Garden ring. Work conducted by the contractor in accordance with the state contract. It should not only plant trees but also to provide care in accordance with all relevant technical standards.
Why are trees cut crown
Crowns pruning is necessary for all trees. Such work is usually carried out in the spring before the plants Wake up after the winter. The awakening of the trees associated with the internal process of SAP flow. Actively this process starts with sustainable positive temperatures. You need to trim the crown up to this point, to avoid the strong current of juice on the slices.
Removing branches helps to form a beautiful crown depending on tree species it has a different appearance. For example, birches are typical elongated oblong form, the maples and poplars — round or ovoid. In addition, pruning of the crown necessary for the safety of drivers and pedestrians. Many trees planted in close proximity to trails, so it is important that the crown does not obscure traffic signs.
Crown pruning also helps the trees to beginners it is easier to settle down.
In the first two years after replanting to a new location it is important that the crown did not take up most of the nutrients and the tree is well-formed root system
The size of the crown should not exceed the size of the roots three times. The size of the root system specialists are known in advance, so they make a decision about the necessity of circumcision, after a visual inspection, measure the height and coverage of the barrel.
What trees chrononaut first
The first Wake up of the Norway maples. This breed is the process of SAP flow, which will mark the awakening begins earlier than others. So first of all work with trees began at the site of the Garden ring from the Smolenskaya square to Dolgorukovskaya street, planted with 150 maples. Only there are more than 500 trees. Have maples for the Garden will be the canopy and green leaves with red tips. In early may, the maples should bloom small yellow-green flowers.
15-year-old maples “Apollo”, which grow on the Garden, you must kronirovat every three years. As specified in the Department overhaul of Moscow, pruning maple trees, will hold in the next few days. Then kronirovat will be lindens, elms, ash and other trees in need of this procedure. All work will be completed by the end of April. Schedule depends on weather conditions. If the capital of the coming frost, then trim the crown temporarily stop.
How is crop
Specialists conduct a visual inspection of the tree, measure the height and coverage of the barrel to determine the optimal size of the crown.
The height of the new trees on the streets of the capital from five to seven meters, so their inspection specialists use the lift — the special vehicle with a cradle
At the place of work two or three brigades. Part of the workers cuts the branches, and the other handles special balm cuts, the third removes trimmed branches.
According to technological standards, pruning is carried out with a special tool — I, loppers and pruning shears, garden scissors. Specialists determine and cut those branches that you want to delete. First of all, it forms on the trees tops wrong growing shoots on skeletal branches. They are removed, and slices of obscure special balm so as not to leave wounds on the tree.
How to care for trees
Behind the trees-the new capital caring constantly. In winter during heavy snowfall — with the crown removed snow to the branches did not break under the weight of rain. And from the frost tree trunks defended cane covering.
Now the trunks will cover more burlap. This will help the trees to avoid burns from the early spring sun and cracking of the bark from temperature changes. Burlap trees will lay on top of cane “covers” and withdraw it in may, when the plants used to the sun.
Also since mid-April, the soil starts to moisten and to feed. This is to ensure that the root system is well developed. In addition, the trees are treated against diseases and pests.
Last year in Moscow under the program “My street” were planted over three thousand trees more than 30 streets. There is a center of maples, Linden, elms, mountain ashes, chestnuts, and the intersection of Moscow ring road and the radial routes — oaks, lindens and maples.
