It is best to transplant trees in the fall, all because there is enough moisture in the soil, which allows the trees to take root well.
But it happens that after transplantation, trees die. All this happens because of the mistakes that gardeners make during transplantation.
You have not prepared a place for planting a tree in advance.
This manipulation is mandatory and should not be neglected. Trees that are planted in unprepared soil begin to die or stop bearing fruit after some time. Around each planting point, there should be 1 m2 of loosened soil.
If you have not prepared the area, you need to dig it up and plant a young seedling for the next year. When digging, it is worth adding organic fertilizers.
You didn't make a planting hole.
If the hole does not correspond to the size of the tree's root system, it may die. The optimal hole size should be 60 by 60 cm, they are suitable for many seedlings. Try to plant the tree where there is no groundwater.
You have chosen the wrong substrate for seedlings
Some people plant trees on a compost pit, which will cause them to tilt towards the ground in the near future. The substrate should be mixed with soil. And the roots themselves should be covered with regular soil, without any impurities.
You are planting a tree temporarily.
People do this very often because they cannot find a suitable place to grow. Some even plant two seedlings in one hole.
Afterwards, people forget to replant the trees in time and they die. If you leave the seedlings in pots for the winter, they will freeze. Only small seedlings can be temporarily planted in the ground. They are planted at a distance of 40 cm. Other seedlings can be dug in until spring and then replanted.
You planted the seedlings too close together.
During growth, trees begin to interfere with each other, so their growth slows down. To prevent this from happening, it is worth following the rules for planting trees.
Benefits of planting trees in autumn:
- Trees take root better.
- Do not require additional care.
- Long period for planting.
- Due to frequent rainfalls, the trees do not need to be watered.
