Gardeners, not without reason, call autumn planting of fruit crop seedlings more preferable.
They have time to take root before the cold weather, and in the spring they do not waste energy on this, which is good for the plants and the future harvest. But does this mean that spring planting is worse?
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told which bushes and trees are best to plant in the spring.
Spring planting: pros and cons
Definitely, in the spring you can better prepare the planting site and not worry that the trees will not take root before the cold weather sets in.
The only disadvantages include a lack of precipitation in the spring and recurrent frosts.
What and when to plant
Spring planting is definitely suitable for stone fruits and heat-loving crops - these are peach, apricot, quince.
From berry bushes there are remontant raspberries and strawberries.
But it is recommended to plant apple and pear trees, plums, cherries, currants and gooseberries, as well as honeysuckle in the fall.
It is important to remember that the result depends not only on the time of year and weather, but also on the seedling itself.
Fruit trees and berry bushes should not be older than 1-2 years, and ornamental crops 2-3 years.
Choose your planting location carefully, as well as varieties that are suitable for your climate.
