To the real ornaments of the garden there is a shrub action that can decorate any site. But this is possible provided that care for it will be carried out in strictly allotted time and in full. The main direction for caring for the action in the autumn is its preparation for the winter, namely pruning and shelter.
There are a lot of varieties of this shrub, but most of all we have a rough action, which needs preparation for winter by the method of shelter. Often this bush is in the form of a bast, which means it will not be difficult to cover it. To do this, after falling off the foliage and pruning, the plant is wrapped in two layers of spunbond or any other nonwoven material.
How to properly cut a bush?
Flowering shrub action on young shoots this year. Formed (laid), they are with the correct pruning in the fall. After the shrub has withered the dried flower stems, as well as weak shoots, remove, clearing the bush.
As a rule, in autumn the trimming of the action is carried out for one third of the length of the branch. Do not be afraid that it is too much, because this shrub can be cut even on the stump, in order to create a lot of prickly shoots in the spring. This is done to create hedges.
When to trim the action?
Autumn is an elongated concept, especially when the action grows in different climatic conditions. Where frosts come already in October, pruning should be carried out earlier - around the beginning of September. But in southern regions this procedure can be postponed for a month.
The most important thing is not to tighten too much with pruning, because when it is carried out after the onset of frosts, the kidneys do not have time to be planted for the next year, and in the next season one can not see flowering. After pruning shrubs are individually wrapped in a heater or they build a shelter with the help of a skeleton.
