Betula minor Betula papyrifera

Betula minor I like the article

Temperatures Betula minorSole pieno
Let's grow the the Betula minor in a luminous place, with direct sunlight. If a tree with a very thin trunk is put in shelter, it could be useful to secure it to a solid stake, which can keep it erect, and protect it from the damage caused by strong winds.Let's grow the the Betula minor outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero.

Care Betula minor
When growing these plants tend to go up, developing very little in width, and they tend to have a columnar development. This plant in the winter assumes a greenwhite colouring; it is large in size and can reach 17 m high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. As they grow, these plants become the size of a tree.

Feed Betula minor
Let’s fertilize the plants when implanting them, or every 2-3 years, towards the end of the winter or beginning of Autumn. A good quantity of organic fertilizer, such as manure or earthworm humus should be mixed to the soil at the foot of the stem; in this manner we will supply it with a good quantity of nutrients and we will also improve the mixture of the soil.

Irrigation Betula minorTenere asciutto
We suggest watering the the Betula minor every 4-5 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. We should pay particular attention to those plants which have been recently placed in shelter; during the years, trees develop a cospicuous radical apparatus, and need watering only if the climate is particularly dry.

Adversity Betula minor
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Substrate Betula minor
These trees need a dissolved soil with an optimum drainage.
