Planting ornamental shrubs, vines, trees - this is one of the best ways to decorate the site. There are a huge number of species and varieties with the original shape of the crown and beautiful flowers. Such spectacular plants include golden rain.
Bobovnik is a creeper. Description
This low lianoid tree during flowering is completely covered with bright yellow flowers, collected in long, hanging brush. The scientific name of the plant is bobovnik. Most often at home gardens grow anagirolisty golden rain. It grows in the form of a multi-stemmed tree with hanging shoots. Individual specimens of bean bobbin can reach 7 meters in height. There are decorative forms with weeping branches, with leaves of golden color. There are varieties whose leaves are similar in shape to oak.
Bobovnik. Landing and care. Breeding
The easiest way to propagate the bobbin seed. It is better to sow them in the winter. Then the shoots will appear after the snow melts. If sowing is delayed until spring, then the seeds must be stratified. They are mixed with wet coarse sand and kept for a month and a half at a temperature slightly above zero. You can mechanically destroy the peel of the fruit, for example with sandpaper. Bean seedlings better adapt to specific climatic conditions and are more resilient. Cuttings are carried out from the second half of June until mid-July. Semi-lignified shoots of the current year are cut and divided into parts. Each stalk should have two internodes. Leaves shorten by a third. The main conditions for fast rooting: diffused lighting and sufficient humidity. You can propagate bobovnik layering. To do this, in the spring, flexible shoots are pinned to the ground and sprinkled with soil on top. By autumn, layering acquires its own root system. But they are transplanted to a permanent place only the next year.
Bobovnik. Landing and care. Tips for gardeners
For planting plants, only well-lit areas are suitable. When shading, the lower branches are exposed, and flowering weakens. The soil should be fertile, loose, sufficiently moisture-resistant. Under digging, lime and organic fertilizers are added. The bean grows fast. And already in the third year after planting, the plant blooms.
Bobovnik. Landing and care. Temperature and other indicators
It tolerates frosts up to -25 ° C. But in severe winters it often freezes. And although it is easily restored, but this year it practically does not bloom. Therefore, in the middle lane, plants are usually sheltered for the winter. After flowering, the brushes are cut so that the tree is better prepared for flowering the next year. Bobovnik is resistant to gas and smoke, so it can be planted in the city and close to industrial enterprises.
Purple bobbin. Pruning, watering, soil
The bean root system is superficial, it is worth remembering this when loosening and weeding. Adult plants are watered as needed. Watering is usually required only during dry periods. Cut the bean tree in early spring before the leaves appear. In this case, all frozen, weak and diseased branches are removed. With the help of pruning, you can give the young tree the desired shape. But adult plants do not tolerate such a procedure. Golden rain is almost not affected by pests and is resistant to most diseases, therefore the bobover, planting and care of which will be carried out on your site, is rather unpretentious in this matter.
