Evergreen thai can become an adornment of any garden or small plot near your house. Such beautiful bushes or trees are very popular among gardeners, with their help create hedges. And if you have a need to transplant thuja in the fall, we will tell you how to do it correctly.
Selection of the location and timing of transplantation
If you intend to move the plant to another place in the fall, keep in mind that the optimal time for this will be the middle-end of September. Later transplantation is undesirable, since it is necessary to take root in a new place to calmly overwinter and not to perish.
We recommend paying more attention to the choice of a place for transplanting the bush. Although this plant is unpretentious, but it grows well and does not fade only in areas that are well lit. Shading for shrubs does not fit. This is probably the main requirement for the future location. As for the quality of the land, the tuya can grow on soddy, loamy and peaty soils.
How to transplant in the autumn?
The pit is excavated depending on the size of the root system, but the depth should be about one meter. If you transplant several tuja at once, the distance between the planting holes should reach 60-100 cm. If in your garden the soil is heavy, we recommend placing a layer of drainage on the bottom - broken brick, expanded clay, pebble (crushed stone). The earth can be mixed with a small amount of sand and peat and poured onto the drainage layer. We place the seedling in the pit so that the root neck is located exactly at the level of the earth's surface. If you carry your thuju from one place to another, when digging at the roots of the bush it is better to leave an earthen lump. The roots of the plant are straightened and covered with earth, from time to time we trample down. At the end of the work, it remains to water the shrubbery and cover up .
In the future, transplantation and maintenance of tuja assumes timely watering and fertilizing with fertilizers, which will help better survive the change of place.
