Young saplings can be planted in spring (before buds bloom) or in autumn, when foliage will completely fall off the trees. A pit for planting trees is prepared in advance, that is, 6–12 months, and it is necessary to take into account the fact that the landing area should be well lit in the summer. The diameter of the hole should vary from 1 to 1.5 meters, and the depth should be about 90 cm. Drainage should be laid at the bottom of the pit. Peat mixed with humus is poured as a top dressing. Then add fertile soil to fill ½ hole.

If you use sandy soil, you must put clay on the bottom and cover it with plant waste (thickness should be no more than 15 cm). Next, put a young tree with a support structure, then covered with soil. In perfect condition, a small hill should form above the ground, which needs to be tamped and watered with 30-40 liters of liquid.

But if you could not avoid the appearance of such diseases, then you should not despair ahead of time.
