Reproduction

Strawberry seedlings and shrubs berries, as well as fruit trees, can be purchased in special nurseries, but can be grown and on their own .

The easiest way to propagate strawberries, more precisely, it multiplies itself . Each summer bush throws her long stalks, called whiskers, which are formed miniature plants - plants . They only need to cut off at the appropriate time, carefully pull out of the ground, and then put on a new location .

Strawberry seedlings should be taken only on annual or biennial shrubs, which are known to be healthy and well-fruit . Separate seedlings from the mother plant can then they will grow . Development of seedlings depends primarily on the fertility of the soil and its humidity . It is possible to transplant them before, when the seedlings have only one ortwo small leaf . Then they are planted in a greenhouse or on a bed with a very fertile soil and abundantly watered . With proper care by the middle of July, they will be suitable for transplant to a permanent place .

Strawberry seedlings can also rooting in pots with a very fertile soil, dug around the parent plant . Only the first plant to take root, grow on a mustache, followed mustache trimmed . During the multiplication in pots should not forget about watering plants . Seedlings are transplanted from pots, removed intact with a lump of land andtransferred to the new location .

For planting suitable only yearlings . They can be found on a bright, almost yellow roots . In older seedlings roots darken and become brown .

It is easy to breed and raspberry - by digging up root suckers . They need to be taken only from healthy well-fruited plants . Transplant produced in late autumn or spring .

It is more difficult to propagate currants and grapes . They are propagated by a lignified annual shoots, which are cut into cuttings with mostly 2 - 3 internodes . The length of cuttings currants 25 cm, grapes - 40 cm . It is best to cut them before the first frost and immediately planted in fertile and permeable soil, you only need to follow,that they are not "upside down" . Cuttings are planted at such a depth to the ground were only 1 - 2 buds . On the cuttings planted grape leaves only one upper eye, and the rest is removed .

Cut to plant cuttings can be stored in damp sand in a cellar and planted in the spring, which is especially important for grape cuttings . During winter storage they should be in an inverted position compared to the position at landing, ie the upper end should be directed downwards, which prevents prematureappearance of roots .

Particular care should prepare a place for planting grapes. Dig a hole whose depth is approximately equal to the length of the cuttings to plant, and fill it fertile ground . It is important to cover the ground floor of the pit . To be sure, one hole put 2 or 3 cuttings .

Shoots from cuttings currants lay a piece of land intended for the cultivation of grape seedlings, where they grow for a year or even two, the distance between them of 30 X 30 cm . In principle, one year after the formation of shoots and rooting them can be planted to a permanent place . When leaving seedlings in shkolke (plot of land on whichseedlings grown from cuttings) (plot of land on which plants are grown from cuttings) for another year need much cut them in the spring . This causes intense branching of seedlings, and at the end of the second year already receiving well-formed bushes .

Pretty big difficulty is the reproduction of gooseberry, because it is not rooted as easy as currants or grapes . To call him rooting shoots, they must be covered with soil without separation from the parent plant . This is called reproduction horizontal layers . As Typically, spring shoots are cut all thatcauses the formation of a large number of new, very strong shoots . When they reach a height of 20 cm, and their half-covered with soil. Second time their spud 3 weeks and again only half their height. mound thus formed.

In the spring of land shovel and cut shoots . They should be already well entrenched . It is best for the year prior to planting to create a permanent place on the land intended for the cultivation of grape seedlings on a specially prepared fertile land and good care of the bushes and, most importantly, plenty of water . Individualgooseberry seedlings can be obtained without cutting all the bush in the spring . It is enough to pour a mound of earth around selected annual shoots, which root .

In the garden is often found growing without branching, without lateral shoots gooseberry . He looks like a fruit tree not only because it has a trunk, but also the fact that it can be obtained by grafting . Used as a rootstock golden currant . It is propagated by cuttings vertical or horizontal . shots can be donespring means convergence in "Trimming and vaccination" . . cuttings for grafting cut from selected bushes gooseberry . They are grafted on annual shoots very strong golden currant at an altitude of 60 - 100 cm . However, this vaccination is not always possible . Some recommend hold vaccinated in late June or early July . Thencut off the top of the rootstock, which is still soft, not lignified, and then cut it along . In digested so the tip is inserted wedge cut the scion of a gooseberry growing up in this year's green shoots . The junction carefully wrapped with bast without blurring garden pitch . initial wilting of grafted cuttings yetno evidence of graft failure. The success of vaccination depends on aftercare and especially from irrigation sprinkler .

Strawberry is one of the few berries horticultural crops that are propagated by sowing seeds . However, there are varieties of strawberries, which, like strawberries, breed mustache . However, these varieties are not belonged to the securities, at least because they are overly thickened and a warning that requires additional work .

Strawberry varieties that do not form whiskers reproduce only seeds . They are plated in February in a greenhouse with a mixture of mailbox earth, peat and sand lightly compacted and then sprinkled with a thin layer of clean sand, which facilitates the maintenance of a certain humidity . C For this purpose, conducted several times per day by irrigation water spray .

When the seedlings produced 2 - 3 leaves, they dive into a box larger or in pots, and in June, planted in a permanent place .

The seeds can be sown on the seedling bed of preparing the ground as described above . These rows were seeded in 5 - 8 cm and sprinkled with fine sand . Nursery must often obscure and showering . Small seedlings in phase 2 - 3 leaves first dive, and later transplanted to a permanent flower bed .
