When and how can honeysuckle be transplanted: rules and terms

Honeysuckle - fruit shrub, characterized by excellent taste of berries, endowed with healing properties. But a certain disadvantage of some varieties of this crop is its strong growth.Because of this, the plant has to be transplanted to another place, but this must be done correctly, otherwise you can lose a good harvest.

The main mistakes of inexperienced gardeners are the placement of honeysuckle in the marshy or shaded areas where it lacks sunlight and moisture can cause disease. This can greatly slow down the growth of the culture, the development of its root system, which will lead to a slowdown in the emergence of above-ground green mass and subsequent flowering. All these factors are reflected in the fruiting of the plant, that is, on the quality and quantity of the crop. And then it is necessary to replant the bush to a new place.

Another problem is too close to planting bushes next to each other or other neighboring garden trees. At the same time, honeysuckle bushes can grow up to one and a half meters wide, which is also unacceptable and requires transplanting. In this regard, the question of when to perform a transplant becomes particularly important.

It is known that in spring the honeysuckle buds wake up very quickly - any short-term thaw can wake this process. Even when freezing during night frosts, after some time the buds begin to bloom again, this happens several times without harm to the culture.

In addition, it is inconvenient to carry out work on transplanting before awakening and sap flow of honeysuckle, because at this time there is still snow in the garden. In summer, in August, the annual life cycle of the plant is slowed down until it hibernates. It turns out that in the fall, in the middle or the end of September, the most favorable moment for transplanting and cutting is coming.

The plant can instantly lose foliage and get sick. In the most extreme cases, a summer transplant of young shoots is possible - in June after the harvest has already been harvested. But this will involve additional watering, mulch stem stem and obligatory shading.

Cultivation of honeysuckle is associated with some subtleties involving the cultivation in the middle lane of certain varieties. This is especially true of the northern regions, where the berries ripen much later - in June. Adult three-year-old shrubs grown in containers, that is, with a closed root system, are more suited to the harsh climatic features of the North. They are optimally adapted to such conditions and take root pretty quickly, giving a good harvest in the first season. In this case, the hole for planting is prepared in the spring, and the plant is planted a month before the temperature drops below zero degrees. Therefore, initially it is worth choosing suitable plants, otherwise planting will not affect crop improvement.

In general, the transplant is not much different from the first landing of the layers and provides for the same strictly sequential actions.

• First of all, it is necessary to choose a place that is optimally beneficial for the shrub - if the crown of some varieties is randomly located, it is good if the branches are bent down in the shade and stretching upwards in the sun. This will ensure a rich and high-quality harvest.
• Suitable soil - the second prerequisite for the rapid ripening of berries. Honeysuckle loves mixed sandy and loamy soils, light, friable, well breathable and air, non-acidic.

• First, a landing hole is prepared - it should be larger in size than during the first landing - with a depth and diameter of 70 cm. Any necessary drainage is laid at the bottom - cardboard, pebbles, newspapers, claydite.A layer of nutrient soil fertilized with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus mixtures, compost, humus, other organic matter is poured on top, and manure is not used in its pure form, as it leads to the burning of the roots. Wood ash and superphosphate will need twice as much as when planting seedlings.
• Immediately before transplanting, the adult shrub is cut, removing the inward-growing, damaged and dry branches, the remaining shoots are shortened so that the height of the culture does not exceed 50 cm.
• Next, dig up the honeysuckle, so as not to damage the root system. At first they water the earth, then begin to dig far beyond the boundaries of the near-circle circle, about half a meter from it. The whole point of this action is to take the plant out of the ground with an earthy clod. It is allowed to trim individual roots that go beyond the coma.

• Honeysuckle is placed on a tarp or a thick film, after which the plant is tightly wrapped with this fabric and tied up with a rope over the root of the root. For delivery to a new place, you can immerse the crop in a garden cart or drag it with drag.
• When placed in a prepared well, it is necessary to arrange the roots of the plant in the most natural way - they should not be broken or bent. The root neck should be in line with the ground or be recessed into it a couple of centimeters. Filling the lower part with earth, around you make a watering rim with your hands or a rake for better retention of water.
• After that, honeysuckle is watered well, and the ground in the root zone is mulched with sawdust, straw or foliage. This is a protective measure that allows you to save the bush from extreme cold in winter. In the spring, mulch will serve as a fertilizer, and on hot days it will prevent the soil from drying out.

In order to make honeysuckle planting qualitatively, it is necessary to adhere to some rules - this will ensure good survival and intensive development of roots and crown. The recommendations of experienced farmers will help to competently carry out all the necessary work:

• experienced gardeners advise starting a transplant when the shoots of a plant turn brown, which means that it has fully matured;
• to make it easier to remove the bush from the ground for transplanting, you can use any object as a jack, bringing it under the earthen room - so it will remain monolithic and will not be damaged;
• whom it is necessary to form with the help of a shovel in the form of a cone directed downwards;
• it is important to maintain the direction of the branches of the shrub in relation to the cardinal points as it was in the old area;
• it is impossible to trim the honeysuckle, which has already been transplanted - you can only remove the shoots injured during transportation;
• Adult bushes can be replanted from the second half of September to mid-November;
• we must not forget to keep a distance of one and a half meters and more between the transplanted and neighboring plants;
• as for spring planting, honeysuckle cannot be transported in this case, it can only be transshipped with a large earthy clod (unfortunately, such plants often get sick and develop poorly due to the early appearance of buds).

Sometimes the reason for the growth and fruiting of the crop is delayed by an undesirable neighborhood. And due to the fact that honeysuckle only began to spread in the gardens of the middle band, not everyone knows how well honeysuckle is compatible with apple, quince, pear, cherry, gooseberry, plum and black currant. These cultures do not suppress the vital activity of a plant when active biological components are released into the soil.

Fortunately, honeysuckle does not need to be replanted often, the plant can produce excellent yields for decades. And with the right approach, even old bushes can be planted without harm to their viability and fruiting.
