Coniferous plants older than 2-3 years must replant only with a clod of soil(or from containers) so as not to damage the root system of the plant along with mycorrhiza - a fungus that has developed on the roots, vital for conifers. This is why pine and spruce trees dug up from the forest often do not take root in a new place. Preserving the integrity of the earth clod is the key to transplant success!
If the soil on your site is heavy and clayey, then when planting, you need to put a layer of broken brick or crushed stone (20 cm) at the bottom of the hole, and pour sand on top, since many types of conifers do not tolerate stagnant water in the soil. If you have sandy and sandy loam soils, drainage is not required.
The planting pit is prepared with a size of 1.5 times larger than the coma and a depth of:
There is no point in digging holes deeper than 80 cm, since all conifers have a superficial root system and fertile soil deeper than 80 cm will almost not be used by the plant.
The finished planting hole is filled with the prepared mixture (read about preparing the earthen mixture below).
Lower the root ball into the hole without removing the mesh and burlap (in 2-3 years they will decompose on their own). When planting container plants, the container must be removed.
Turn the spruce with its most beautiful side to the most visible place. Align the trunk vertically with the horizon. Keep it in this position until the end of planting.
Fill the hole with earthen mixture in parts (20-30 cm each), pouring or compacting it evenly on all sides. Make sure there are no voids left under the lump or on the sides.
You fall asleep to the level - the upper level of coma. The root collar is not buried when planting (when deepened, the bark on the trunk dies and food stops being supplied to the plant - the spruce dies).
Do not forget that the older the transplanted plant with a lump, the more difficult it is for it to adapt. Its root system is small and requires more frequent watering in the first year. Once a week in spring and autumn, 2 times a week in summer.
For one plant:
During the first 7 days, water with a root formation stimulator. Additionally, good results are obtained by spraying needles and branches with solutions of “epin” (1 ampoule per 5 liters of water) or “zircon” (1 ml per 10 liters of water). Spray generously so that it drips down the needles.
Also, spraying with Epin partially protects the needles from UV radiation in early spring.
In the first year after planting, from February to April, cover the spruce with a shade net (or green construction net with a fine mesh) - just not tightly. Since in the first year there will be little nutrition due to the reduced root system, the needles may dry out in the spring sun (spring burns). In spruce and all conifers, evaporation from the needles occurs all year round, and when in the spring the root system is still frozen (the ground is frozen) and the sun is very hot, the needles dry out. At this time, it is necessary to thaw the lump of earth under the plant so that it can absorb moisture through its roots. Bottom line: start watering your conifers (growing in the sun) from March 15 - with warm water and shovel the snow from the trunk so that the ground thaws faster.
In spring you need to start feeding “for conifers”, only for conifers!!!
Under no circumstances should you fertilize with urea, humus, or manure - deadly!
Tree with a straight trunk. The bark is gray-yellow, smooth, later longitudinally fissured, thick, gray-brown. The branches extend from the trunk almost horizontally, slightly bending downwards, and at the end they rise up again. Young elongated shoots are thin, bare, slightly drooping, grayish-yellowish-brown, faceted from long leaf cushions, almost the same as those of Siberian larch. Biennial elongated branches have numerous kidney-shaped, spherical bare shortened shoots.
Buds of different sizes and shapes, terminal up to 4 mm in length, ovoid, lateral 2.5 mm, spherical, spaced, somewhat resinous. The buds are distributed along the shoot neither whorled nor strictly spirally.
Needles 10-40 mm long, 0.5-1.5 mm wide, soft, bright light green, without a bluish coating, on shortened shoots in bunches of 20-65 pieces, rhombic in section, soft, flat, slightly underneath rounded to keeled, medium green in color. Needles with a sharp yellowish tip, slightly narrowed towards the base, above on both sides of the midrib with stripes of 1-5 stomatal lines each, below on both sides of the keel there are stripes of 3-6 stomatal lines, above and below the stomatal lines appear when magnified brush of small white dots. Before falling in September, the needles turn intensely yellow, which in some places (for example, in the Alps) creates a magical richness of colors in the landscape.
Flowers appear in the first ten days of May on shortened shoots. Male spikelets are ovoid-spherical, short-cylindrical when dusted, small, yellow. Pollen grains lack flight bubbles. Females are reddish, always covered with needles at the base and directed upward, 10-20 mm long, thick-cylindrical to ovoid.
Cones 2.5-6 cm, thickness 2 cm, mature brownish-light brown, highly resinous, sit on wrinkled short petioles, can hang on the tree for several years after the seeds fall. They consist of 6-8 rows (45-70 pieces) of almost flat, ovoid-rounded, gradually tapering at the top, small, with a solid wavy edge of the seed scales slightly bent outward. They are slightly convex on the back, striated, glabrous or sparsely pubescent. The covering scales are oval, with a long pointed point; in the lower half of the cone, their points protrude outward. Based on their color, several forms of European larch are distinguished.
Seeds are 3-5 mm long, obovate, triangular, with an upper serrated and lower blunted edge, yellowish-brown shiny, whitish with red specks on the opposite side. The wing is 6-8 mm long, light brown, thin-skinned, semicircular.
Ecological property of the species: It forms forests or participates as an admixture in the mountains of Central and Central Europe, at an altitude of 1000-2500 m on the well-lit mountain slopes of the Central Alps and Carpathians, the Tatra Mountains and the foothills of Poland.
The deep root system provides good wind resistance. Very photophilous. For normal functioning it needs free standing. Lives up to 500 years or more, fast growing. Flowering occurs in May simultaneously with the blossoming of the needles, lasting 5-10 days. The needles bloom late and fall just as late.
Prefers well-moistened acidic or slightly acidic fresh loose forest loams and wet sandy loams, and tolerates the presence of lime in the soil. Does not grow well in sandy soils. Does not tolerate waterlogging. It feels good in the mountains and grows successfully on infertile rocky soils. In Belarus it tolerates urban conditions well. Moderately drought-resistant. Frost resistance -35°.
It appeared in Russia from the mid-18th century, in Europe in artificial plantings from the 17th century. Thanks to cultivation in forestry, it is now found throughout the European part south of 60° north latitude. Brought to Belarus in the first half of the 19th century. The oldest planting is in the Chekhets park in the Pruzhany district, where approximately 40 trees of 140 years of age have been preserved, the height is 38 m with a trunk diameter of 1 m. Trees of a hundred years old are available in the Balmonty park in the Braslav district, the Stankovo park Dzerzhinsky district, “Mirovshchina” Dyatlovsky district, etc.
Reproduction and cultivation: The cones ripen on September 14-19. The average number of seeds in a cone is 40-50, germination rate is 27-39%, the seeds are small brown. In the first years it is more shade-tolerant, but less frost-resistant than Siberian larch, and is sometimes damaged by late spring frosts.
Purpose and application: It is distinguished by the high technical qualities of wood, one of which is its resistance to rotting, which is why in Venice houses were built on larch piles and in shipbuilding larch was considered the best material for building ships. A very valuable species in forestry, deserving the attention of forest reclamationists and landscapers, since the tree is successfully grown outside its range. Extremely promising for Belarus and Ukraine.
Landscape construction: In the Republic of Belarus it is widely used in forestry and landscaping to create row plantings, rare transparent groups and bright alleys. European larch can be found in gardens and parks, arboretums and public gardens singly, in groups and even in massifs. It is most spectacular during flowering, when the entire tree is covered with small bright crimson cones, and also in autumn.
In contact with
The peculiarity of the seasonal behavior of larches - they shed their needles for the winter - immediately distinguishes them from other main conifers, since this feature is absent in other genera of conifers.
The leaves (needles) of larches are soft, flat, with whitish rows of stomata visible from below.
On elongated shoots, the leaves are arranged spirally, on shortened ones - in bunches, 20-40 needles in each. The cones are small (1-10 cm), round or cylindrical, sitting at the ends of shortened shoots. Young cones are green or reddish, mature ones are brown. They ripen the same year in autumn or early next spring. Opening and releasing the seeds, they remain on the tree for several more years. The seeds are small (3-6 mm), yellowish-brown, with a wing. In the second, or less often in the third year, they lose their germination capacity.
Larch is a fast-growing, unpretentious to soil, gas-resistant, durable plant. It feels good even along roads. The roots go deep into the soil. Photophilous. Grows well in alkaline soils. Larch is frost-resistant and can be used in decorative landscaping throughout Ukraine without any problems.
Propagated by seeds. Grafting is used only for the propagation of decorative forms. Transplantation in adulthood can be tolerated until the age of 20, preferably with a frozen lump of earth. It is not picky about soil, but when planting it is advisable to add complex fertilizer to the hole.
The color range of needles, depending on the type, includes all shades of green in the spring-summer season. In autumn, the needles acquire a golden-yellow hue; It is reset depending on the type at different times. Siberian larch, for example, sheds it only in November.
Basically, in nature, larch grows within three habitats - in temperate and cold regions of Europe, Asia and North America.
Larch types and varieties, photo description by growth and preference:
Larix decidua (European larch)
A deciduous tall, slender, coniferous tree, the species is widespread in nature and is actively used in decorative landscaping in Europe, which is called European larch.
A tall tree with a regular, mostly narrow-conical crown and a straight trunk, horizontal or raised branches, relatively thin, fast-growing, drooping side shoots. The tree grows strongly, annual growth is 40-50 cm in height, 25-30 cm in width, at the age of 30 it reaches 15 m in height. The dimensions of an adult plant are from 25 to 45 m in height, and from 8 to 20 m in width. The needles are needle-shaped, collected in bunches of 3-40 pieces, 10-30 cm long, delicate, light green, late autumn color, bright yellow or golden yellow. Female flowers are ovoid, 1-1.5 cm long, vertical, pink-purple, male flowers are cylindrical or ovoid, 0.5-1 cm long, lilac-yellow, very decorative, blooms in April. The cones are brown, ovoid, 2.5-4 cm long with 40-50 scaly seeds, the edges are not curved outward, unlike Larix kaempferi (Japanese larch). The root system is deep, taprooted, and superficial on clay and damp soils. Very frost-resistant. Photophilous. Prefers fresh or moist soils rich in nutrients, undemanding to soil acidity for optimal crown development, needs large space, loves places with air movement, tolerates low air humidity. It tolerates periods of drought well thanks to its deep root system, which also makes it very wind-resistant. In nature, it grows on nutrient-rich, fresh, well-drained and well-aerated soils, both on calcareous and primary rocks in the high-mountain and subalpine zones of coniferous forests, where it rises to 24,000 m above sea level, usually in a community with Pinus cembra (pine European cedar). The bark contains a lot of tannins, the wood is heavy and durable, elastic. This is the strongest and most durable coniferous wood in Central Europe, extremely resistant to moisture, used for underwater construction, the wood is as valuable as oak.
Widely used for landscaping cities and industrial areas. Planted as a hedge, young plants tolerate cutting and shaping well. Planting step: 0.5-1 m. Winter hardiness zone 3

Larches are fast-growing, wind-resistant plants that can be used to create parks, recreation areas, and in landscaping cities and industrial areas. Since larch is a deciduous plant, it sheds the plaque that has settled on it during the season along with the needles, which distinguishes it favorably from evergreen conifers. They are good both in group plantings of the same type and in single alleys. It has a number of interesting low shapes for decorating small areas. It tolerates cutting and shaping well; it is advisable to shape it at an early age. It is best to plant larches in autumn or early spring. Seedlings are watered 1-2 times a week.

European larch, or falling larch, is common in the mountains of Central Europe; at an altitude of 1000-2500 m above sea level.
European larch looks most impressive during flowering, when the plant is covered with small bright crimson cones, and also in autumn. The tree is distinguished by its high quality wood, which is not subject to rotting, which is why in Venice houses were built on larch piles, and in Russian shipbuilding larch was considered the best material for building ships.
Due to its decorative properties, durability and resistance to adverse external factors, European larch is widely cultivated. It is recommended to be used for single, group, row and alley plantings.

European larch is a soft coniferous tree from the Pine family. It has a high degree of decorativeness due to the shape of the crown. Its drooping branches resemble a weeping willow, which has long needles instead of leaves. The unusual appearance of the tree fits effectively into the landscape of park areas and garden plots.
The specific name of the tree European larch (larix decidua) indicates the main area of its growth - Central and Western Europe. It occupies large areas of forest on the mountain slopes of the Alps and Carpathians. Lowland areas are unsuitable for its growing season, since larix does not tolerate excessive soil moisture and lack of lighting.
The tree is unpretentious to soil conditions. It takes root well on podzolic, chernozem, and loamy soils. The roots penetrate deep into the soil, which ensures the stability of the tree. Under natural conditions, high in the mountains, European larch is not afraid of either frost or strong winds.
Larix decidua is used in urban green spaces. Landscape designers plant
Larch absorbs smoke, gases, and soot well with its needles. Therefore, it performs not only a landscaping, but also a sanitary and hygienic function in an urban environment.
Larix decidua is a majestic coniferous tree with a straight, even trunk, up to 50 m in height. Larch is characterized by a noticeable annual increase in wood mass due to which it reaches a diameter of 0.8–1 m. In particularly large specimens, a diameter of 1.5 m is recorded. Bark rough to the touch, with cracks. The color is brown.
The crown shape varies, depending on the variety - cone-shaped, weeping, drooping. The branches grow thickly.
The needles are up to 4 cm long, soft, light green in color. Unlike pine or spruce, the needles are not distributed evenly along the branches, but form bunches of 20–40 needles. In addition, like deciduous trees, the needles of larix decidua change color to yellow when cold weather sets in, and fall off in the winter. This feature of the plant was the reason for its name - European larch.
Larix decidua cones are elongated or cone-shaped. With age they change color: from purple to brown . Each cone consists of 45–70 scales, which are placed in 6–8 rows. The general size of a European larch cone: length - 6 cm, diameter - 2–2.4 cm.
Hidden under the scales are winged seeds, only 3–4 mm in length (with a wing up to 11 mm). The cones ripen in the spring. At the same time, the scales open and the seeds fall out. Empty cones can hang on the tree for up to 10 years.
European larch is a long-lived tree. Some specimens live up to 500 years.
Larix decidua has long been used by humans. First of all, the wood of the tree is valued. It has been used in construction since ancient times. Buildings constructed from European larch have high insulating qualities. They retain heat well and there is no noise from the street. Essential oils released from logs act like a natural air ionizer.
European larch wood does not rot, so it is used in places with high humidity and temperature changes:
Larix decidua needles contain many useful substances (essential oils, ascorbic acid). Traditional healers used a decoction of green pine needles to prevent scurvy. In modern cosmetology, perfumery, and aromatherapy, essential oil extracted from European larch needles has found application. It also has therapeutic properties and is used, in the form of inhalations, to treat respiratory tract pathologies.
European larch bark contains tannins, which are extracted for the needs of the leather industry. In addition, the bark contains organic acids, gum, cahetins, and anthocyanins.
In the autumn, the green needles of Larix are favorably set off by the multi-colored palette of deciduous trees and shrubs.
To plant larch, seeds or seedlings are used. Seeds are removed from ripe cones and sown in prepared soil. However, the process of growing a tree takes a long time, therefore, most often, seedlings are used when planting. They are purchased in special nurseries. When purchasing, you should pay attention to the color of the needles. It should be bright green. This indicates the health of the plant.
To plant European larch, it is important to choose the right place. It should be located in a sunny area, since lack of light causes disease in larix. The soil should be enriched with humus, with good drainage. European larch does not like stagnation of moisture in the soil.
The seedling should be planted carry out in early spring or late autumn. A large hole is dug under the root system. A seedling with a preserved earthen lump is transferred into it. The top of the pit is filled with peat and turf mixture.
In order for the tree to take root safely in a new place and begin to grow, a number of agrotechnical measures are carried out:
It is well adapted to frost, so it does not require winter shelter for seedlings.
Caring for larch is not difficult and can be done by any gardener.
