5 unsuccessful examples of planting trees in the garden: mistakes of short-sighted summer residents

You shouldn't confuse landscape design with proper care of a garden where fruit trees grow.

We will tell you when the reason for the error is the personal short-sightedness of the gardener and about 5 trees that should not be considered for placement on the territory of a summer cottage.

1. Spruce

Let's leave aside the ominous superstitions and evaluate the conifer from the point of view of non-violent materialism. Yes, the spruce will greatly diversify the landscape of the summer cottage, but nothing more. A small and fluffy spruce will soon become a huge problem, which can neither be trimmed nor shaped. It will cause unnecessary shade, spread its powerful roots everywhere, and will not have the best effect on the composition of the soil.

2. American maple

Apart from the fact that this crop grows rapidly, it has no other advantages. But it should not be considered even as a living hedge from the wind, because soon you will have to fight with young shoots. They will appear everywhere. This maple is incredibly fruitful, grows from seeds and roots - it will be very difficult to get rid of it.

3. Canadian maple

A close friend of its predecessor, but more beautiful, especially in autumn. It spreads by self-seeding, the seeds germinate amicably and cheerfully, and in the second year they turn into a real disaster for the gardener. To understand, look at how quickly dandelions grow.

4. Birch

A beautiful and not the most useless tree, which also has no place in the garden. The only exception is the situation when the site is located in a lowland. In other cases, the tree will cause problems with rapid growth (you will have to constantly trim it), the growth of roots (up to 5 meters), if the top begins to dry out - expect that from a sharp gust of wind the tree will collapse on the nearest buildings.

5. Willow

The sad list ends with the willow, which drains the area. It is worth carefully selecting varieties and it is better for everyone to stop at low-growing ones. Tall trees dry out with age and also risk collapsing in a strong gust of wind.
