Thanks to numerous useful qualities, the nut is a rather popular product. Walnut's fruits can be obtained at home. Most gardeners argue that it is not difficult to grow a tree. You just need to stick to a number of requirements. About how the walnut and caring for it is carried out correctly, and it will be discussed in this article.

Preparatory work

The accurate choice of space for landing is not only the key to getting a good crop. The tree has an extensive crown and grows high. In hot weather under his leaves, you can hide from the scoring sunlight.

Walnut is a light and moisture and moisture plant. It makes a low temperature superbly. It features a powerful root system that deep penetrates into the ground. For this reason, it is not recommended to plant a nut in places where the groundwater is suitable for the earth's surface at close range.

Naturally, a compacted and wetlands are also not suitable for planting a tree. The best option is carbonate loams with sufficient humidity.

In addition to the orientation on the location of groundwater, the walnut landing is accompanied by compliance with the following rules:

• when landing several trees, the minimum distance between them is 5 m (on the slope - 3.5 m);
• the presence of a permanent draft is not recommended;
• it does not sit back to the house, fever and fruitful trees.

Special attention is paid to the soil that is preparing in advance. If there is a small fertile layer, the Earth varies and additional fertilizers are made. In their quality advocate:

• manure mixed with ash (on 1 bucket of manure - 2 art. ash);
• superphosphate.

Improving earth cover is made to a depth of 0.7-0.8 m in the pit. When the nut starts normally to grow, the further replacement of the fertile layer is carried out in the width of the crown of the tree.

Methods of landing nut

The reproduction of trees can be carried out in three ways:

• seeds;
• seedlings;
• vaccinate

Seeds

Preferably looks the first option. With the help of seeds, it turns out the best result. The main condition is the use of trees fruits that grow in this area.

The workpiece of the seed material occurs since the autumn when the trees relieve the fruits. The best seeds are characterized by excellent aging and easily fall out of the shell. There should be no dark spots and other damage on the octalidel. Cracks almost always spoil the fruit.

Selected nuts on seeds dried:

• 1-2 days - with solar rays;
• 5-6 days - in the shade.

Seed storage is made in a cool and dry place. 3-4 months before disembodies, seeds are covered with wet sand. Moreover, the air temperature should be within + 7 ° C.

Before planing, it is necessary to determine the quality of the seed. To do this, they are lowered into a container with water. Those nuts that drowned are suitable for landing. Their kernels are suitable, which increases the chances for the appearance of good sprouts.

The process of planting walnut itself provides:

• digging pit, the diameter of which is 1 m;
• mixing ground with humus;
• cleaning nut from the shell;
• seed accommodation at a depth of 12-20 cm (depending on the climatic conditions of the area).

Saplings

Growing a walnut with seedlings implies the following landing conditions:

• the thickness of the stem must exceed 1 cm;
• dipped two-year seeding with a core reinforcement with a length of 0.3-0.4 m sitting on a permanent place with a lore earth;
• a pit with a width of 0.5 * 0.5 m;
• at its bottom, a piece of polyethylene film is stacked;
• the roots are stacked and neatly sued.

Walnut seedlings are planted slowly. Side roots have strictly horizontally. Popping is made of crumbly land, starting with the lower roots and ending with the top of the root system. The depth of the upper roots is at level 6-7 cm.

Beginner gardeners can take advantage of the simplified option. Many specialized stores implement seedlings that have a canned root system. Special container contains nutritional components. Thanks to it, the seedlings are easy to take root and grow everywhere, regardless of the landing region of trees.

Graft

Sometimes, in reproduction of walnut, the seedlings do not preserve the qualities inherent in the maternal variety. To solve this problem, they are vaccinated. For this procedure, two-year sprouts will be needed, which are planted in flower pots.

In December, the seedlings are entered into the premises. Before vaccinated, they should give normal shoots. The best month for vaccination is February.

After the temper is instilled, the temperature is still maintained at the level of 24-25º. Only such a temperature regime provides a continuous growth of seedlings. The grafted tree landed into the open ground in the first decade of May.

Walnut Resets Nuances

If the cultivation of trees is preferred by planting seedlings, then several seeds must be planted. After the appearance of several trees, the best sighter is selected. Walnut is transplanted in spring or autumn.

When it is dedicated to the autumn, the roots should be located at the maximum possible depth. This is how the likelihood of their freezing in winter is prevented. Trees planted in spring must water in a timely manner. Especially relevant is for dry terrain.

When transplanting walnut seedlings, a number of other factors should be taken into account. Trees disembarking is made at the same level with the place where it was previously grown. Otherwise, the development of a seedling will stall, which will lead to later fruiting.

The roots of the village are located south. The root cervix should be located at one level with the surface of the Earth. A small hill is made, where the neck is placed. When the first watering and the earth will be held, the root will also go down to his place.

To obtain a good walrian harvest, it is recommended to create all the conditions for pollination. This tree is pollinated by the wind. For this reason, other trees need not far from the nut.

Tree care

Conditionally, walnut care can be divided into four main stages:

• watering;
• feeding;
• trimming;
• fighting diseases.

Watering

The maximum amount of moisture will be required during the flowering and ripening of fruits. Additionally, the land under nuts moisturizes in hot summer days. The irrigation rate of one tree is 3 buckets of water / 1 m² of land. In the absence of sultry days, there will be two irons for the month. When the nut reaches 4 m in height, it can not be water at all.

With the help of the first irrigation, the soil is compacted. The resulting small variety is falling asleep earth. Near the tree is made by a small hilly from the ground. It will not allow the excessive accumulation of melt water after winter.

Podchar

Walnut feats twice a year:

• spring;
• and in the fall.

Spring are nitrogen fertilizers, and in the fall before plowing - phosphoric and potash. For one adult tree (more than 20 years) required:

• ammonium nitrate - 7 kg;
• superphosphate - 10 kg;
• potash salt - 2-3 kg.

The only nuance is the correct introduction of nitrogen fertilizers. They are not made in the first three years of fruiting. In other cases, the tree will not be able to give the maximum number of nuts in subsequent years.

Trimming

In order for walnut in the photo and in reality in the same, trimming branches are carried out. Moreover, form a crown tree is there no need. This process occurs naturally.

Trimming are subject to:

• dry branches;
• branches running on each other and damaging bark.

It should be noted that trimming is not carried out in the spring when there is an increased intake. The trimming of walnut branches is carried out in mid-June. This procedure is performed in two starts. In the first year, not the whole branch is cut off: a small bitch is left (about 7 cm). The next spring, the bitch is completely removed, and the slice is shrinking with the help of garden preparation.

Fighting disease

Walnut's disease is Marsoniosis (bright spot). The occurrence of this disease is associated with excessively wet weather. Especially often it is manifested in rainy days.

The following preventive measures are held to prevent Marsoniosis:

• a tree variety is purchased, which will normally increase in these climatic conditions;
• the processing of young seedlings of the Bordeaux liquid or other drugs ("strides", "Horus", etc.).

The first processing of walnut with chemical preparations is carried out before the kidney dissolve. Subsequent spraying (2-3 times) are carried out at the first stage of the growing period.

Harvesting

Nuts are collected in autumn. The exact time of collection is determined by airlodes. If they start cracking, then the crop can be removed. For the week, the collected fruits are placed in the basement. So they will be easier to clean from the blackened shell.

A week later, the fruits are cleaned, wash in water and dried in the sun. If there are nuts in the presence, which are difficult to separate from the ocopulodnik, they need to hold some time in the sun. So they will last faster.
