Landscaping of the site

Landscaping of the site is a real art, in which a whole group of specialists is involved... Landscaping is individual, because you are unlikely to find two identical plots: each house with its surrounding plot and landscape is unique. Therefore, designers and planners create a landscape design suitable only for you and where all your dreams are realized. The landscape design only depends on your imagination. For example, you need to decorate your terrace beautifully for a pleasant time. Or maybe you are dreaming of a small pond where a cascade of murmuring water will be arranged. If the project provides for a pool, then a changing cabin is needed, and the ground around the entire perimeter must be covered with safe materials.
Having equipped a fountain, you can listen to how falling water sounds... Someone does not need the presence of reservoirs in the personal plot, then a landscape designer can realize the appearance of the presence of water using a "dry" stream. The imagination of our landscape designers is limitless, and the photo gallery of our completed projects will help you in determining what a summer cottage should be like. Our company employs creative individuals who are experienced and highly qualified specialists who are ready to fill your garden with life, which will bring the joy of communicating with it for many years.
Our landscape design studio strives to preserve and improve the natural nature that has developed on the site. In this regard, each tree, shrub or part of the relief, at your request, will become integral organic elements of the new garden design. Our specialists treat their work with love and will be happy to provide any help!

Ash wood was used by our ancestors to create combat weapons and elastic shafts for edged weapons.

Currently, the tree is planted as a decorative element of the garden, the fruits of ash are used for food purposes, and the leaves and bark are used for the needs of medicine.

Ash: description

Common ash belongs to the Olive family.This tree, which has a height of up to 30 m, trunk diameter - up to 1 m. The crown is high, openwork, the bark is gray and covered with numerous "cracks". Ash leaves are bright green, lanceolate or oblong-ovate.

Average life expectancy - about 300 years old, however, few trees survive to this age due to diseases and pests.

The ash fruit is a "lionfish" with a seed inside. In nature, the tree reproduces both by seeds and by layers.

Important! Ornamental forms of ash are propagated only by grafting in order to preserve varietal characteristics.

Usually, ash blossoms from mid-April to late May. Flowering begins even before the leaves appear, small flowers appear on the branches, which are collected in bunches in panicles. The flowers are dark brown or purple and can be male, female or bisexual.

The widespread use of ash for landscaping cities and parks is due to its unpretentiousness and features of the structure of wood. Ash wood is resistant to cracking, flexible, has high strength, therefore, in the event of strong storm winds and heavy snowfalls, the tree branches will withstand the onslaught of bad weather.

Thus, in terms of description and characteristics, ash tree is suitable for the role of the main accent in the garden. It can be used as a separating element of the site, or as a "living fence" to protect against noise and dust, if it is planted near the roadway.

What ash loves, where is the best place to plant a tree

Having learned about what ash looks like, we proceed to choosing a place for planting.

The tree is resistant not only to strong gusts of wind, but also to smoke or gas. Therefore, the planted plant near the roadway will not hurt or grow poorly. Ash is very popular in the temperate zone as withstands frosts down to -40 ° С. To make the ash feel comfortable it must be planted in a sunny place.He is demanding not only for light, but also for soil fertility. The tree will not grow on sandy or other marginal soils.

Ash does not tolerate stagnant moisture in the soil or excessive salinity, therefore, for planting, you should choose slightly acidic soils on elevations or places in which groundwater is low.

Now let's talk about how to plant an ash tree. The tree reproduces both generatively and vegetatively. The only difference is that buying an ash tree seedling is much easier than finding good viable seeds.

Features of growing ash from seeds

For sowing in the summer, last year's seeds are used, but freshly harvested seeds can be planted at the end of August, if the climate permits.

The seeds are sown in the furrows, deepening the planting material 3-5 cm into the ground. On average, about 8 g of seeds are taken per 1 meter of furrow. If you are carrying out a large-scale planting, then at least 240 kg of planting material is used to sow 1 ha.

The first shoots appear in May. Crops require care, which consists in weeding from weeds, regular watering and minimal (4-6 times per summer) loosening of the soil.

Important! For the winter, the sown area is covered with mulch or a special film so that the seeds do not freeze.

According to statistics, about 800 thousand healthy seedlings are obtained from 1 hectare of crops, which at the age of two are transplanted to another place or put up for sale.

Growing ash from seeds requires a lot of time and resources, which is justified only in the case of "large-scale" planting. If you go to plant 1-2 trees, then it is better to buy a seedling in a nursery or on the market.

Ash planting technology

Growing ash from a seedling is much easier than planting seeds. First, prepare a hole, which should be 1/3 larger than the earthen lump on the rhizome. Drainage (pebbles, expanded clay or fine gravel) should be laid at the bottom of the pit, which should make up 25% of the total height of the pit.

After preparing the hole, it must be filled with a nutritious soil mixture, which consists of leafy earth, humus and river sand in a ratio of 1: 2: 1.

An important point:during planting, the rhizome should be 10-15 cm above the ground, so that after the soil subsides, the root collar does not sink into the ground.

Before planting, moisten the pit well with water, put supports to which the seedling will be attached.

Important! Ash seedling is fixed in the ground strictly vertically, deviation in any direction will destroy the tree.

After immersing the seedling in the hole, fill the empty places with soil mixture and tamp it.

We recommend mulching the tree trunk circle with peat or sawdust to retain moisture in the soil and protect the young tree from sudden hypothermia or overheating of the root system.

When planting several ash seedlings, maintain a safe distance that is equal to 5 m for tall trees and 3-3.5 m for dwarf trees.

The nuances of growing ash: how to care for a plant

Knowing where and in what conditions ash grows, you need to create a similar microclimate in your country house so that the tree gets everything it needs and has a stable immunity to diseases.

Ash watering

Ash requires abundant watering, but the amount of moisture that you add to the soil must match the drainage properties of the substrate. That is, if the ground cannot absorb more moisture, then it is not necessary to fill the tree "according to the instructions".

It is necessary to fill ash only during severe drought. However, it is worth remembering that plants should not be watered in strong winds or in the sun.

Important! If the groundwater lies at a depth of about 1.5-2 m, then the tree itself can get to the required moisture with the help of its taproot. In this case, watering is required only in summer and in small quantities.

Feeding options for ash, how to fertilize a plant

Gardeners are justifiably interested in the question of how to care for ash so that the tree does not hurt and is not affected by "typical" pests.

Like a person, a tree has its own immunity, and in order for it to be strong, the plant needs a variety of feeding and fertilizers.Since the nutritious soil mixture that you laid when planting the seedling will last for a maximum of 2 years, in the future, the ash needs to be fed in spring and autumn.

In the spring, 2 kg of manure, 15 g of urea and 25 g of calcium and ammonium nitrate are applied per 20 liters of water. That is, we fertilize the tree with nitrogen-containing fertilizing.

In autumn, the tree is poured with nitroammophos (20 g per 20 l of water).

It is worth remembering that depending on the fertility of the soil, the amount of fertilizer may be more or less. Therefore, heed our advice and use your knowledge.

Did you know? Ash preparations have a hemostatic, tonic, antipyretic, wound healing, laxative, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, antitussive, antirheumatic and anthelmintic effect.

What is important to know when pruning ash

Ash is pruned in the spring before flowering. Dry, frozen and diseased branches are removed. Pruning also helps to form the crown of the desired shape.

It is worth starting by removing the lower shoots. The stem is cleaned to a height of 3 m.

Further, all thin and fragile shoots are removed, which in the future will not be able to withstand the weight of the leaves. It is worth remembering that the tree is prone to growing watery shoots on the lower part of the trunk, which must be removed immediately.

Important! Ash does not tolerate pruning, so you should not get carried away with the removal of "unnecessary" shoots. This rule does not apply to dry or diseased branches.

Ash is not a capricious tree in terms of planting and care, however, regardless of the fertility of the soil and the height of the groundwater, the tree still requires at least minimal attention.

Diseases and pests of ash

Diseases in ash arise both due to improper watering and lack of feeding, and due to strong temperature changes, contamination of the site with rotten debris and insect vectors.

Cytofomal cancer. A fungal disease that affects the bark and sapwood of a tree. The disease occurs in ash trees at the age of 10 years or more. The tree suffers from temperature imbalance, does not tolerate extreme heat or frost. With severe cancer lesions, the tree dries up.

Disease control measures: sanitary felling of diseased trees, increased watering of plants.

Infectious necrosis. Fungal disease, which is characterized by tape stripes, the death of the bark and cambium.

Control measures: spring spraying of trees with a 3% solution of ferrous sulfate, spraying during the growing season with a 1% solution of Bordeaux liquid, sanitary and recreational activities and tree feeding.

Important! The disease can be transmitted to other trees in the garden.

White fine fissured butt rot. A terrible fungal disease of ash, which affects the central part of the trunk and in some cases the roots. The fungus attacks old trees that have potholes or cracks in their bark. In the final stage, the ash tree simply falls apart and the tree dries up. It is almost impossible to identify this disease, since for this you need to cut down a tree.

Control measures: sanitary felling, covering cracks in bark and wood with clay or special protective mixtures.

Did you know? In the 18th century, unripe ash fruits were canned in England, receiving a spicy seasoning for vegetable and meat dishes.

Now we will characterize some of the pests that affect the ash tree.

A dangerous pest of ash trunks and twigs. The bark beetle is similar in appearance to the May beetle, grows up to 3 mm, is colored brown. The beetle appears in late April - early May. It affects weakened trees or fresh felling. Females lay larvae in the sapwood, which turn into adults in June. If a tree is severely affected by a beetle, then it threatens with inevitable "death". The bark beetle is so dangerous that it can destroy a large planting of ash in a season, turning young trees into eaten dead wood.

Control measures: insecticide treatment of plantings during the beginning of the flight of the beetle ("Ampligo 150", "Engio 247", "Karate Zeon 050"); attracting birds that feed on beetles (installing feeders); laying out hunting trees in February-March.

Ash emerald narrow-bodied goldfish. An insect from the order Coleoptera, which is widely distributed in nature in China, Korea and Japan. The goldfish is colored marsh-green and is about 1 cm long. Females lay eggs on the surface of the bark, after which the larvae penetrate the bast. You can notice the activity of the larvae after removing the bark: on the surface of the wood, small passages will be visible along which the larvae move under the bark. Beetles, unlike larvae, feed not on the bast of an ash tree, but on its leaves, causing serious harm to the tree.

Infection symptoms: sparse bark, painful tree appearance, premature yellowing of leaves.

Control measures: tampons moistened with a suspension of hexachlorane (100 g per 1 liter of water) are introduced into the fresh passages of the larvae, after which the holes are covered with clay or cement; spraying plantings with a 3% chlorophos solution in late May - early June.

ash names

Ash got its name due to the appearance of the crown. Despite the lush vegetation, the leaves of the Ash let in enough sunlight, so it is always clear and light under the tree.

This property makes it possible to sunbathe under the crown for many hours on a bright sunny day and at the same time not be afraid to burn out.

The Latin name of Ash is Fraxinus, which means "Ashes" in Latin.

Where does Ash grow

There are 70 species of Ash in the world. The most common in our country is the Common Ash.

The tree is found throughout Russia, in the Crimea and the Caucasus. Various plant species can be found in North Africa and North America, Eurasia and the Far East.

Ash can be found in parks and gardens.

In the wild, this tall and stately tree prefers fertile, moderately moist soils. Ash can often be found in the middle of a field or along a sandy road.

What does Ash look like

Ash is a tall tree up to 30 meters in height with a lush crown. In the southern regions, there are representatives up to 60 meters high. The crown transmits sunlight well thanks to its sharp and long leaves and rare knotty branches. The trunk volume reaches 1 meter.

The bark of the tree is ash gray in color and is distinguished by its smoothness and unusual smell. The bark and leaves of this tree contain a substance called coumarin, which gives the tree the scent of fresh hay. That is why the weary traveler under the tree breathes easily and calmly.

In the spring, the ash is colored purple. After a few weeks, future fruits, lionfish, begin to form.

These flat pots of seeds will only fall to the ground in winter.

When Ash Blossoms

Flowering begins in April-May and lasts until the leaves open. Due to the large number of flowers and pollen, Ash is an excellent honey plant.

The fruits ripen in September or October and can remain on the branches until early spring, helping small birds from hunger. These fruits are high in fat and protein.

The tree begins to bear fruit after an average of 25 years and can live up to 300 years. Ash leaves fall in late autumn, retaining their green color.

HEALING PROPERTIES OF ASH

For medicinal purposes, the leaves, fruits, roots and bark of the tree are used.

Decoction of the roots relieves chronic respiratory diseases.

A decoction of the leaves has a sedative effect and is used in the treatment of disorders of the nervous system of the body.

Due to their flexibility, the Ash branches served as an excellent material for the bows of the North American Indians. In Russia, rims of wheels were made from Ash, skis and rocker arms were bent.

In modern industry, high impact resistance has made it possible to use wood for various sports equipment. Ash is used to make a billiard cue, baseball bats, racing paddles, skis and even gymnastic bars.

Thanks to its beautiful pattern, Ash is used as a veneer for cladding expensive furniture. When stained, veneer is difficult to distinguish from Olive wood.

The high strength of the wood allows the manufacture of railings, window frames, cladding and furniture.

Ash is used for landscaping especially polluted areas of cities.

In the Caucasus, Ash fruits are pickled instead of capers and used as a seasoning.

Sweet Ash juice, like Maple juice, is a valuable source of sugar.

Contraindications

Despite all the benefits of fruits, bark and leaves, Ash is considered a poisonous plant, so it is necessary to use certain infusions and decoctions with great care.
