Cultivation Birch
The Birch is large in size and 16 m in height; in the winter it assumes a greenwhite colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants have an erect, columnar development. The Birch develops in an erect manner and, as the years go by, becomes a tree. Fertilize Birch
Tree fertilization should be done at the beginning of the spring or of autumn, using humus or mature manure; this should be done by mixing a few buckets of fertilizer to the ground, around the trunk of the tree, every 2-3 years or when the tree implanted. Light BirchSole pieno
We advise cultivating the The Birch outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures. We suggest to position the The Birch in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.With a particularly windy climate we suggest securing young trees to long solid stakes, to avoid that the wind could bare young and not very developed roots; specimens which are only a few years old might fear intense cold and wind. Water BirchTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 1-2 buckets of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 4-5 weeks . We advise watering the young specimens, or the recently sheltered ones; the adult specimens usually are satisfied with rain water. Pests Birch
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate. Mold Birch
Grow these plants in a dissolved and deep, but well drained soil.
