Shrubs examples 2. What types of plants are there?

In this lesson we will learn about what plants there are, their types and subspecies. Let's learn to distinguish between plant species and consider some of them in more detail.

Theme: Nature

Lesson: What types of plants are there?

What types of plants are there? To find out, we will go with you into the forest. The first thing we see in the forest is trees. They constitute the first group of plants. How are trees different from other plants? They have one large trunk covered with bark, from which branches extend.

Look, not all trees are the same:

There are trees deciduous And conifers. Deciduous trees have leaves in the form of plates, while conifers have needles.

Look at the picture:

Rice. 5. Shrubs

What word can you call these plants? This is all bushes. This is the second group of forest plants. Shrubs do not have one thick trunk, but several thin ones.

Look at the image:

This shrub is called red-hot viburnum. The people composed songs and fairy tales about her. During flowering, she stands solemnly, all in white. In autumn it is decorated with pink, burgundy, purple leaves and clusters of red fruits. It got its name from its color, reminiscent of hot metal.

In addition to trees and shrubs, there are also herbs in the forest. What kind of herbs are there in the forest?

Coltsfoots make tea from the leaves and flowers and drink it for coughs and colds.

Honey and jam are made from dandelions, a drink similar to coffee is made from its roots, and a salad is made from its leaves. Dandelion is also used as a medicine for insomnia and toothache.

Look what other plants grow in the forest:

Rice. 9. Plants

So, today we learned that the forest consists of 3 tiers:

1. Trees

The forest is called the lungs of the planet, because the forest is a factory for producing oxygen, which is so necessary for humans and animals. To make the air cleaner, we need to cut down less forests and plant more plants. Take care of your plants.

Bushy plants are distributed almost throughout the planet. There are wild plants, as well as cultivated plants grown by the person who cares for them.

The flowers of the shrub with this name are small, collected in beautiful spherical large inflorescences of the “panicle” type. They are usually white in color, but blue, pink, lilac and red are also found.

The color directly depends on the pH value in the soil. Hydrangea is a shade-loving plant; direct sunlight adversely affects its growth: it slows down, and the flowers become small and inconspicuous.

Flowering shrubs can delight you with their blooms and aroma all season long. They are ideal for decorating your backyard.

Flowering shrubs are among the most whimsical forms. In order for flowering to be abundant and long, it is important to provide the plants described with the correct nutrition, otherwise you may not get buds at all.

So, in spring, any plants, including bushes, require nitrogen. This will allow them to build up the necessary vegetative mass. But in subsequent feedings it is important to add a small amount of this element. Starting from the second half of summer, it is generally not recommended to apply nitrogen-containing fertilizers.

To get large, beautiful buds, you need to feed the shrubs with potassium and phosphorus. You can use mineral supplements in the form of superphosphates and potassium sulfate, or prepare an ash solution. Additionally, we recommend watering flowering bushes with a solution of boric acid.

Fruit and berry bush plants

Many of these varieties are very common in our country. Their fruits and berries are very tasty and healthy; they are used to make compotes, jams, jellies and other preparations for the winter.

Examples of fruit and berry bushes:

Raspberries. A wonderful berry crop, popular among gardeners. In the wild on river banks and in forests. The stems can reach a height of 2.5 m.

Raspberries bear fruit until frost, the fruits have a rich red color. But there are some varieties that are yellow or even black in color. This plant requires regular feeding, watering and tying up.

Sweet and tasty, jams, jams, and jellies are made from them. Raspberry wines, tinctures and liqueurs also have good taste. Dried ones are used in medicine to treat colds.

Gooseberry. A low garden shrub (up to 1.2 m in height), actively grown by gardeners in countries with temperate climates. The branches have spines that come from the leaves. Gooseberry fruits are spherical and sometimes have rough bristles. The berries are ideal for making jam, jelly, confiture and even wine.

Garden decoration - with the name lilac

Dried gooseberries are used medicinally to treat obesity or metabolic problems. It should be noted that gooseberries are often affected by various pests, so they must be treated with protective agents.

Currant. The shrub with this name prefers moist and fertile soil and grows in well-lit places.

If it is heavily shaded, the berries may grow small and tasteless. The two most common types of currants are black and red. The first is distinguished by the fact that its leaves have a strong aroma due to the high content of essential oils.

Therefore, black currant is often used to prepare decoctions, tea, and also as a flavoring additive in food. Syrups and liqueurs are made from the juice of this berry. You can make marmalade, jelly or even pastille from red currants.

To get a good and abundant harvest, it is necessary to regularly and carefully care for fruit and berry plants, as well as provide them with optimal favorable conditions for growth and fruiting.

Classification of shrubs

Classify according to two criteria: degree of resistance to frost and attitude to light.

What types of shrubs are there in terms of frost resistance?

Very frost-resistant. Such plants easily tolerate frost and wintering. They do not require winter shelter or special care during the cold season. These species include Siberian hawthorn, red elderberry, and yellow acacia.

Frost-resistant. These species usually withstand frost and winter cold well, but if there are abnormally low temperatures for a given region, the plant may die. Examples of such plants: honeysuckle, common viburnum, western thuja.

Moderately frost-resistant. Such shrubs can withstand light frosts and require winter shelter. It is necessary to carry out special procedures to prepare them for the winter period. These moderately frost-resistant plants include the following species: quince, mock orange, rose hips.

What types of shrubs are there in relation to light?

Photophilous. Such plants prefer to grow in well-lit places with access to direct sunlight.

They are usually resistant to drought and lack of moisture, but nevertheless they need to be provided with regular and balanced watering.

If you plant such a plant in the shade, its flowers and leaves may become small and limp, and the fruits will lose their rich taste and color. These types include lilac and rose hips.

Semi-shade-tolerant. These shrubs are usually unpretentious and prefer to grow in partial shade. They require moderate watering intensity, as well as moderate soil moisture and moderate temperature conditions. These species include yellow acacia, honeysuckle and hydrangea.

Shade-loving. These plants love shaded and most often humid places. They require abundant and regular watering and adherence to the water regime.

Exposure to direct sunlight can have a detrimental effect on such shrubs: their leaves and stems will begin to dry out and turn yellow, and the fruits will lose their juiciness. This species includes plants such as hazel, red dogwood, etc.

It is necessary to know exactly which species a certain example of a shrub belongs to according to this classification in order to provide it with proper care and optimal conditions for growth and periods of flowering and fruiting.

Bush plants are very diverse, include many species and have their own classification.

While watching the video you will learn about growing shrubs.

Decorative shrubs for a summer residence, photos and names of which will be presented in this article, are often precisely those elements that harmonize the overall picture and emphasize the necessary nuances of the site so that it looks attractive, bright and harmonious. They are like strokes on a canvas that will help to correctly “dilute” the flowerbeds with the necessary details and place accents on certain places. I am sure that every summer resident, gardener, owner of a personal plot wants to do everything correctly and carefully so that vegetables, fruit trees, beds with herbs are all in their places.

Depending on the size of your plot, imagination and general preferences, ornamental shrubs can be a background for other plantings, an element of garden compositions, appear in the form of hedges, or act as the main nuance to which everyone’s attention will be focused.

In this article I would like to talk about the most popular shrubs, most often planted in our region, and, of course, the most beautiful. It is unrealistic to cover the entire spectrum of these representatives of this plant kingdom, but it is worth paying our attention to the main flowering ones, as well as decorative foliage ones.

How to beautifully plant ornamental shrubs: basic placement criteria

The very first thing is to choose a plant that will feel comfortable in the climatic conditions of your region. You need to choose a specific variety based on this factor. The second nuance is its location.

Yellow acacia, or caragana tree (Caragana arborescens)

Yellow acacia - an ordinary, well-known unpretentious shrub, widespread in all zones of the country. Blooms profusely, covered with yellow flowers, from May 15 to June 8. Honey plant. Grown since 1752, usually bred to form hedges and alleys. The lifespan of the plant is up to 150 years.

Common barberry (Berbeiis vulgaris)

Barberry - ornamental shrub with small oval leaves and spines, its height is up to 2 m. It blooms from May 24 to June 10. Lives up to 50 years. Barberry berries are edible, they are elongated, red or yellow. The flowers are in drooping racemes, yellow in color, with an unpleasant odor. Barberry is a honey plant. Its wood is used for shoe nails. A harsh word must be said about barberry: this plant is an intermediate host of the fungus Puccinia graminis - pathogen linear or stem rust. This type of rust affects all types of cultivated and natural grasses, and therefore lawn grasses. The spring stages of this pathogenic fungus develop on barberry, and the rest - on cereals. On barberry, leaves and berries are affected, and on cereals, stems and leaves are affected, on which longitudinal reddish pustules (pads) appear, tearing the tissues of the cereal leaf; the pustules merge with each other, forming stripes or lines - from brick-red they later turn into dark. You need to know that the fungus overwinters on stubble, and in the spring its spores infect barberry (that is, it itself is a sufferer!). When ripe, fungal spores from barberry are carried by the wind and infect cereals. There are cases when barberry is planted in parks and estates next to the lawn, bordering it. It is clear that lawn grasses can become infected with rust, get sick and lose their decorative appearance. Measures to combat the disease: plowing stubble (and therefore destroying the lawn) or cutting down barberry. Considering this situation, planting barberries next to lawns should be considered a mistake when landscaping areas. It is permissible to grow this ornamental shrub in courtyards, among trees, but sometimes the lawn also looks good next to barberry bushes.

Euonymus (Evonymus)

Shrub name "euonymus warty" (E.verrucosa) associated with warty branches - they have so-called lentil outgrowths. Euonymus root bark contains up to 10% valuable gutta-percha. European euonymus (E. europaea) has no warts. Euonymus has especially beautiful bright pink fruits that open at the end of summer and cover the entire bush of the plant; The branches of the trunks are curved, bizarre, the crown of the plant is spreading and decorative.

The “golden shower” is especially impressive during flowering: clusters of lush, bright yellow, golden inflorescences cover the entire bush and, hanging down, create the impression of a truly bright sparkling rain. In spring, the entire southern coast of Crimea is decorated with blooming beans. In the North-West of Russia, the shrub can easily grow and bloom as beautifully as in the south; however, until recently, only a few bean bushes were found here, however, they were quite large: they bloom from June 10 to June 25 and later. All parts of this plant are poisonous: they contain an alkaloid citations, causing strychnine-like poisoning. However, sheep, goats, and hares eat beans without harm to their health.

Common hazel, hazel, hazelnut (Corylus avellana)

Hazelnut - an ornamental shrub with greenish staminate inflorescences that open in early spring on a completely bare plant, without leaves (often there is still snow around the bush at this time). Hazel usually blooms from early April to April 16, but in early spring - from the 20th of March. In autumn, hazel bushes look bright due to the continuous mass of yellow leaves. The plant is often found in parks in the North-West and further south, to the central regions of the country.

Sea buckthorn is a valuable plant: its leaves and fruits contain a large amount of vitamin C. The shrub is grown in gardens, and in nature it often forms thickets along the banks of rivers and lakes in the southern regions (for example, in Kyrgyzstan, along the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul). Sea buckthorn forms good hedges and is used as a sand fixer along the banks. Ornamental plant.

Ivy (Hedera helix)

Ivy - creeping shrub with terrestrial roots. The leaves of ivy are leathery, dense, and overwinter green. The flowers are also green. A wonderful honey plant. An ornamental plant planted in parks, gardens, near houses, along streets on ridges: it can climb tree trunks, along walls, reaching the 5th and even 6th floor, or cover the entire surface of the ridge along the sidewalk.

Ivy is cultivated starting from the regions of the North-West and further south throughout Russia. This plant is often found in parks in the south, in the Crimea and the Caucasus (other types of ivy are cultivated there, for example, Colchian).

Rose, rosehip, or cinnamon (Rosa cinnamomea)

The fruits are very rich in vitamin C, especially rosehip cinnamon, the dry matter of which contains more than 14% ascorbic acid - this is an exceptional phenomenon in the plant world! The fruits also contain other vitamins.

Rosehip species are found throughout the country in meadows, forests, and clearings, usually on light, sandy soils.

Cultivated plant species - rose damask (R. damascena) and its especially valuable forms - rose of kazanlak(T. trigintipetala) And rose centipede (F. centifolia) produce a precious essential oil used in perfumery (from 1 ton of petals an average of about 1 kg of oil is obtained). The plant is medicinal and especially ornamental. The rose has been known since ancient times: the first information about it came to us from India. The rose was a favorite flower in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome; many traditions and legends are associated with it. This is the best garden and park flower. In parks and especially botanical gardens, rose gardens are sometimes created with many varieties of roses - such places serve as decoration for the park or garden.

By the way, systematic botanists count tens and hundreds of species of the genus “rose,” and thousands of rose varieties.

Rosehip blooms in the North-Rapad of Russia from May 20-21 to July 20 and often blooms again in September; The corollas of the flowers come in different colors: from bright pink to light and even white.

Common lilac (Syringa vulgaris)

Lilac- a shrub with beautiful smooth, heart-shaped leaves, with lilac or white fragrant flowers in panicle-inflorescences. A well-known and favorite ornamental plant, suitable for parks and gardens, estates; Many different varieties of lilac have been bred with flowers of different shades, double, etc. Lilac blooms from the end of May and throughout June.

In addition to the ordinary one, they also breed Persian lilac (S. persica) And Hungarian (S. josikaea), differing in leaves, flowers and smell.

It is impossible to resist and not quote at least some excerpts from poems glorifying the beautiful lilac. Igor Severyanin was especially successful in this:

I'm waiting for something, I'm waiting for someone...

I've been waiting so passionately all day...

Lilac, lilac in my garden!

There are lilacs in my garden!

Oh Prince June, come quickly

Dress the cottages in lilac!

The night is silverier every day,

And every day the day rings louder!

All these colors of aromas,

All the filigree of moods

I feel the white night

By the sea sleeping in glass

When, without drowning, one drowns

Lemon moon in its lilac

And, exhausted from myself,

Lilacs are undead on earth.

and finally:

I'm in a frenzy! I'm in pain

I breathe in my nostrils all day long

Those depriving me of my will

Flowers under the name - Lilac!

Thuja occidentalis (Thuja occidentalis)

Thuja - shrub with the same shiny green color on both sides of the shoot. Close view - biota, or thuja orientalis (Biota orientalis, or Thuja orientalis) It is especially often grown as an ornamental plant in Russia, starting from parks and alleys in the North-West and to the south.

Forsythia, or middle forsythia (Forsicia media)

forsythia- a small, peculiar shrub; yellow flowers appear on its branches and stems in early spring, before the leaves bloom. Flowering bushes look very colorful, as if surrounded by a delicate yellow cloud, visible from afar - at this time there is almost no foliage on any plant. Forsythia blooms from April 20 to May 6. Breeds, but occasionally, in the North-West of Russia. There are a lot of such plants in the USA, they can be seen on almost all estates - this is a festive, amazing yellow cloud of flowers. In summer, forsythia bushes are covered with heart-shaped leaves reminiscent of lilac leaves. This beautiful plant should be cultivated more widely.

Common mock orange, or crown jasmine, garden jasmine (Philadelphus coronarius)

Chubushnik - a well-known shrub with white or cream, fragrant flowers. It blooms from June 7 to July 15, especially abundantly in the middle and 20s of June. Honey plant. The wood is used for crafts, for example, for pipes for smoking pipes (hence the name of the bush). Garden jasmine is a valuable ornamental plant that lives up to 30 years and decorates parks and gardens.

The brief characteristics given here of a fairly wide range of species of ornamental trees and shrubs show how diverse, interesting and beautiful the natural world is, which man centers around himself in parks and estates. The job of a master park builder and the owner of an estate or garden is to select and add more and more new species of plants and their different varieties to the plantings. In this way, parks and estates are formed over many years, sometimes throughout the entire period of their existence, adding diversity to the range of natural wonders.

2.4.3. ABOUT THE INFLUENCE OF TREE ENERGY ON HUMANS

Let's consider another interesting question related to the properties of our plant friends, whether they grow in a forest, forest park or in a city - the question of their bioenergy fields affecting humans.

Modern researchers claim that among trees a person feels good thanks to their influence: some species take and draw out negative energy from people, others - donors - give them their own, bright and light, and this energy of trees becomes human energy. Having given people a significant amount of energy, trees are able to quickly restore its level.

In terms of the power of the bioenergy field, oak ranks first, followed by coniferous trees, birch, rowan, and maple. All this donor trees. Consumer trees those receiving negative energy from us are aspen, poplar, chestnut, and willow. It is believed that after a five-minute walk in an aspen grove or along a poplar alley, most unpleasant thoughts and irritations will disappear.

Trees growing alone (tapeworms) have the most energy. A person can feel the energy emanating from them at a distance of 1.5-2 m from the tree.

Experienced bioenergeticists advise finding your tree and recharging near it, preferably in the morning: you need to approach, stretch out your hands to the tree, touch the trunk or stand without touching.

So, let's first talk about donor trees.

Oak charges with energy for a long time, helping everyone who wants to be truly strong: scientists, politicians, military men, sailors, financiers, artists.

They have strong energy coniferous trees. Among them in first place pine And cedar.

Pine capable of aligning the disturbed human biofield. Communication with her is more effective in the afternoon. The strongest pines are those growing separately on sunny hills. It is believed that pine is more suitable for men.

U cedar unique energy, it gives a feeling of fullness of life to lonely and disillusioned people. The best time to recharge at the cedar is in the early evening.

Energy ate also strong, but specific; spruce can give a boost of creative energy and even give inspiration. It is like music that completely captivates a person. Spruce is a symbol of the holiday, the New Year. The best time to communicate with the “New Year tree” is from ten o’clock in the evening to one in the morning. The Christmas tree is the center of joy and happiness.

Energy fir has a beneficial effect on weakened people who often catch colds; fir has a good effect on children and the elderly.

Energy larches calms a person and brings him into peace of mind.

Energy maple(unlike many trees, which are most active during the flowering period) remains constant from spring to autumn. It is better to communicate with maple early in the morning, after sunrise. Men need communication with maple: it gives them strength and directs their thoughts in the right direction, helping them make decisions, and supports them in difficult times, including in love.

Has strong energy and juniper, its energy is tonic. You can communicate with juniper at any time of the year and day.

Birch - a special tree for Russian people. She loves sincere people. Birch communicates best with women and children: it comforts women and makes children happy. It is best to come to bow to the birch tree in the morning, at dawn. The birch is not just a symbol of Russia, it is its soul. It is believed that the birch tree itself needs communication with people; without it, it withers.

Linden It has energy that can make a person happy; communication with a linden tree brings joy. Linden has a particularly beneficial effect on children. It is better to communicate with her in the afternoon, in the summer, always in warm, dry weather.

Ash has strong energy. He especially helps people in the arts and athletes. After communicating with the ash tree, I remember something that seemed long forgotten, and pleasantly so. You need to communicate with him in the afternoon, in the light of the sun.

U bird cherry relatively weak energy, but it affects people no less than other trees. Bird cherry inspires hope, the desire to love and be loved - simply by the fact that it blooms. But it’s better to come to a living tree and not break branches and place bouquets of bird cherry in the rooms. One of the beneficial properties of bird cherry is the wonderful smell of its flowers: inhaling it for 15 minutes relieves fatigue from sitting for a long time in front of the computer. In a closed room, the smell of bird cherry can cause loss of consciousness - so you need to remember this.

Rowan It helps city residents especially well, so we must thank those who plant it in parks and courtyards. Rowan helps children, women, and men; It is best to communicate with her during flowering and when the berries ripen.

Energy viburnum fully manifests itself in August-September. No matter how much you communicate with her, satiety does not set in, your head remains clear. It is better to communicate with viburnum in warm, dry weather, in the first half of the day. Such communication has a very good effect on women, supporting those who have lost faith, giving a surge of cheerfulness and inspiration.

Energy consuming trees sometimes people may need them more than donor trees. They improve physical condition, relieve headaches and stress.

When communicating with aspen a person receives help for headaches and gets rid of mental confusion. Aspen helps to remove negative energy in the afternoon and in fairly cool weather.

Poplar - the second largest energy consumer after aspen; its activity is constant, from dawn to dusk.

After talking with willow many troubles do not seem so serious. Willow is active in the evening, before sunset; it works very well on children and the elderly.

Just like poplar elm draws away a person’s negative energy evenly, creating harmony in the soul. Elm helps those who often experience feelings of malice and anger.

Chestnut- a consumer of energy, although during the flowering period this tree is a donor. Chestnut relieves a person’s internal tension. It is better to communicate with him early in the morning, at sunrise.

Let us remember the beneficial properties of trees and shrubs. Not everything is clear and understood in this matter, but the truth is that these kind and beautiful representatives of nature not only provide us with clean air, shade, moisture and comfort, but also heal and calm our souls. We must appreciate this and treat them with care. Every torn leaf, broken twig is harm done to a friend. Remember this, man! Immerse yourself in the words of the poet Igor Severyanin:

About every new fresh stump, About a branch broken aimlessly, My soul yearns to death, And it hurts me so tragically.

2.4.4. LANDING CARE

Methods for planting plants were described earlier, but it is clear that plantings require annual care in order for the plants to develop normally, strengthen in the planted area and grow actively. All this will ensure the final creation of a park or garden in the estate and the onset of their prosperity, and therefore will give the joy of admiring them. So, the following must be carried out annually in the park and estate: planting care work:

Application of fertilizers (in spring and autumn, and sometimes in summer);

Loosening the tree trunk circles in the spring (especially in the very first years after planting, adding soil as necessary);

Watering (irrigation) during dry periods;

Treatment of plants (if diseases or pests appear).

Doses fertilizers usually differ for different species of trees and shrubs and on soils of different levels of fertility. Here are the average amounts of the main types of mineral fertilizers (active substance) that can be used in the soil conditions of the forest-meadow zone: per 1 hectare, about 60 kg of nitrogen, 40 kg of P.0 5 and 50 kg of K.0 are applied per 1 hectare - these are doses for a single dose application in early spring (April - early May). For better overwintering, it is useful to feed the plantings in the fall, but only with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers (without nitrogen): 30 kg of P 2 0 5 and K 2 0 per 1 hectare; Fertilizers should be applied in the 20th of September - early October. The indicated doses should be recalculated for real fertilizers in accordance with the specific content of nutrients in them (percentage of active substance): this content varies in different types of mineral fertilizers. In addition, the indicated doses must be recalculated for the area - the zone occupied by the roots of trees or shrubs. Fertilizers should be applied to this area, and not just directly at the trunks. Roots constantly grow throughout all years of plant life, but approximately the following areas can be taken: 50 m2 (7.1x7.1 m) for one tree and 10 m2 (3.2x3.2 m) for one bush. Doses of fertilizers (active substance) for such zones are given in table. 1.

You can sow the tree trunk circles with seeds of lawn plants (when creating a lawn over the entire area) and then mow the grass on them, as well as on the entire lawn. Trees and shrubs will look great on a flat green surface, and the need to loosen the tree trunks in this case naturally disappears. Fertilizers are applied to feed trees and shrubs on the surface of the grass stand. Thus, labor is saved (there is no need to loosen the soil several times every year). The described method of planting and maintaining trees and bushes while maintaining a continuous grass surface is called “a garden (or park) without difficulty.” By the way, fruit growers now use this method, creating gardens on grass - a continuous mowed lawn; such a garden looks original and is economical in terms of labor costs. It truly is a “garden without labor.”

If there is a lack of moisture in the soil, in dry years, in summer it is required water both tree trunk circles or zones of trees and shrubs, and grass on the lawn. Watering or irrigation methods can be different (using sprinklers or different brands of irrigation equipment). It is necessary to water abundantly, but not until the soil becomes waterlogged and puddles form.

When diseases and pests trees and shrubs, it is necessary to consult with specialists: phytopathologist and entomologist. Damaged and drying branches and trunks are cut, sawed down and then burned, and spraying with various special chemicals is used to control pests.

Among the work on caring for plantings, it is important destruction of weeds. Weeds appear in sparse planting areas and can spread quite widely. More often they are weeded out, especially in small areas of flower beds. Weeding is done manually or using simple garden tools: scoops, shovels, knives. Herbicides can also be used on crops and plantings of dicotyledonous plants (legumes and most types of flowers). Nowadays, for example, the following herbicides are available: guvaram (2,4-D-amide salt), “Cowboy”, “Granstar”, “Pruner”, etc. The technology, time and standards for their use are always indicated on the accompanying certificates. All herbicides are quite expensive, so mechanical methods of weed control often have to be used. Such work must be carried out in order to preserve the decorative appearance of the plantings. On lawns, most weeds are killed by mowing.

The most important work is trim: in terms of its refreshing effect on plants, it is like “aerobics” for them. Don’t be afraid to prune, don’t hesitate and rush to remove unnecessary branches or even trunks! Proper pruning is essential and is a boon for rejuvenating plants. So - cut, cut skillfully and in a timely manner! It is necessary to systematically cut and remove shoots and branches that can scratch or prick people, cut out dry, broken branches and trunks, as well as branches that excessively thicken the plantings. Pruning is also necessary to form the crowns of trees and shrubs, both fruit and ornamental species. This is done early in the spring.

Thus, pruning shears and saws are the most important tools for beautifying the park and estate. Naturally, they must be used carefully (you should always remember about safety precautions) and skillfully. Cut what needs to be cut, cut on time and correctly.

In this regard, here are some of the simplest and most necessary tips (Fig. 19). Tools for such work must be sharply sharpened: this is the key to proper pruning that does not disfigure the plant. Branches and branches must be cut off carefully and completely, to the base. How often, when I see left “poke” or “stump” of branches and trunks, I remember my respected teachers who showed how to do this simple work and gave “twos” if even a tiny “poke” remained after cutting! How many “losers” still do pruning incorrectly! But this is a simple rule. And one more mandatory requirement, equally simple and just as often violated: the requirement for correct cutting of thick branches and tops. First, you must (!) make a cut with several movements of the saw from below, trimming the bark, and only then cut from above until the branch or curved trunk is completely separated - in this case, the cut part will fall off without stripping the bark on the remaining part of the tree or shrub. It seems that everything is clear and simple, what else is there to talk about?! But how many violations! Once upon a time I had to translate instructions for English gardeners, published in the 1930s - 1940s. In it I read about this rule. I read it and was surprised: is it worth talking about it, it’s all so simple! Any person must realize that this is exactly what needs to be done, otherwise the bark on the remaining part of the tree will always be peeled off. This simple rule is probably well known. But look in the spring at the trees in parks and on the streets after pruning - how many mutilated, suffering trees with stripped bark along healthy trunks reproach the unfortunate, indifferent or evil people with their appearance. This operation should be performed by good people! Love nature, it is so easy to damage, and it is not at all difficult to take care of it carefully, carefully, with soul.

Unfortunately, plantings are also damaged by winds, thunderstorms, droughts, waterlogging, frosts, that is, the elements. After the death of trees and shrubs, their complete removal and carrying out repairs and replanting. Broken tree tops and branches hanging, caught in the crowns and threatening people, fallen trunks, remaining stumps - all this must be removed immediately after frost (in spring), thunderstorms or storms. In place of dead plants, new specimens must be planted quickly, within the recommended time frame, and always of the same species, according to the master plan of the park or estate. This is what great craftsmen have always done and do: if a chestnut tree has died, a young chestnut tree must be planted in this place; if a linden tree has been destroyed, a linden tree must be planted.

In spring it is usually necessary drying parks, because after thawing the top layer of soil it becomes oversaturated with moisture for 1-3 weeks. This is observed even in drained areas, since during this period the deeper layers of the soil have not yet had time to thaw and do not accept excess water from the surface layers. When the soil is waterlogged, especially on paths, the surface is easily damaged, pressed through, broken under the weight of walkers, cyclists, and even more so when heavy vehicles pass (which enter the park to transport soil, remove cut branches and trunks, etc.). During drying, there should be no movement on the paths and lawns in the park: the park is closed. In two weeks (depending on the weather), the top layer of soil will completely dry out and the park can be opened to the public.

The admission of freight vehicles into the park should be minimal in all seasons, only in cases of extreme necessity and with the most careful passage.

The best time for planting trees and shrubs is spring, before active plant growth begins, or autumn, after active growth stops. Modern craftsmen master planting trees in winter by lowering the underground part of the plants along with a large volume of soil into planting holes. And I repeat once again: the key to success is compliance with the developed and tested elementary, but mandatory rules regarding planting, repair and care of plantings, trees and shrubs.

Rice. 19. Proper pruning and cutting of branches and twigs:

a - pruning small branches; b - cutting down large branches: 1 - beginning,

A suburban area cannot do without large perennial plants. Beautiful gardens create a unique atmosphere day after day, help divide the space into zones, and determine the character of the site. Shrubs have a place in hedges and when arranging borders. Plants of different sizes and shapes are an excellent backdrop for perennial flowers and annuals, as well as bright decorations for the entire garden.

What types of shrubs are there? Today, land owners are offered a variety of:

• decorative deciduous crops;
• plants that decorate the garden with their blooms at different periods;
• tall breeds;
• ground cover or low garden shrubs.

There are a lot of plants that bloom luxuriantly or have striking variegated colors, but when choosing ornamental crops for the garden, attention is paid not only to their beauty, but also to the difficulty of care. The less labor required to grow, the longer the shrub retains its bright appearance, the more valuable it is for the summer resident.

There are many such unpretentious and at the same time incredibly spectacular plants. Among them are those that can be found in every garden, and undeservedly forgotten shrubs. Descriptions and photos with the names of ornamental bushes for the garden will be a good help in choosing the most worthy plants.

Beautiful shrubs for the garden: photos with names

An indelible impression is left by bushes covered with caps of flowers in spring or summer. If you create a catalog of photos of the most unpretentious shrubs for the garden, on the first pages you will find varieties of garden lilac, mock orange, which, due to the similarity of aromas, is often called jasmine.

Lilac

In May, gardens and summer cottages throughout Russia are covered with lilac, pink, violet and white clouds.

This is a blooming lilac, a spectacular shrub:

• up to three meters high;
• with pointed heart-shaped or broadly lanceolate foliage;
• with shoots covered with grayish-brown bark;
• with racemose inflorescences of simple or double fragrant flowers of various colors.

There are several dozen species of lilac in nature. There are many times more cultivated varieties and hybrids. All plants winter well in the middle zone. The tall, beautiful garden bushes shown in the photo prefer sunny places and easily grow in any soil.

To maintain decorativeness, faded brushes are removed in a timely manner, root shoots are cut out, and mature lilac bushes are gradually rejuvenated.

Chubushnik

Garden or, more correctly, blooms a little later than lilac. Throughout the garden and dacha, a beautiful ornamental shrub spreads an exquisite aroma; the white, single or semi-double flowers located at the ends of numerous shoots attract glances and hundreds of pollinating insects.

Existing varieties of mock orange differ from each other in terms of flowering, shape and size of corollas. Even variegated shrubs of this species have been bred. Moreover, all plants are very frost-resistant, are not susceptible to attacks by pests and are rarely affected by diseases.

Like lilac, mock orange requires pruning after flowering; for rejuvenation, shoots that have reached 5 years of age are also cut out. Removing root shoots and thinning the bush will help maintain its shape.

Spirea

Photos of these most unpretentious shrubs for the garden invariably evoke a wave of admiration. Very different in appearance, covered with white or pink flowers, striking decorative foliage and divided into two large groups. Plants that bloom in spring are covered en masse with caps of flowers, which fall off quite quickly. In summer, other varieties begin to bloom, transforming the garden for a long time.

Thanks to the presence of both compact and large forms, they help in creating hedges; they are indispensable in group plantings, but even alone they will not get lost on the site, becoming its bright decoration.

With traditional care, decorative bushes in the country feel great in the sun and partial shade, and take root in areas with any light, loose soil.

Fieldfare

The closest relative of spirea will also not leave indifferent a summer resident who is passionate about flowering shrub crops. Depending on the variety, the height of the shrub with carved leaves resembling mountain ash varies from a meter to two. Flowering begins in the first half of summer and lasts up to 3 weeks. At this time, the fluffy crown of the bush is covered with white tassels of inflorescences. In autumn, the appearance of the shrub changes along with the color of the foliage, which turns from light green to bright golden.

In the middle zone, decorative shrubs for dachas, photos and names of which are given in the material, winter well without shelter and do not become capricious even with minimal care. Fieldfare is no exception. However, the better the plant is on the site, the greater the risk of its growth.

To limit the formation of root shoots, slate, plastic border or dense geotextiles are dug in during planting.

Bladderwort

It has many advantages. The most unpretentious shrub for a dacha shown in the photo will decorate it from spring until late autumn thanks to:

• dense decorative foliage of green, golden or purple color;
• spectacular flowering occurring in the first half of summer;
• reddish-purple fruits appearing in place of white corollas.

The bladderwort, related to spirea, fieldfare, and other ornamental shrubs, is absolutely unpretentious, characterized by rapid growth and easy care. The plant of the most spectacular forms protects its beauty in the sun and in the shade, but bushes with purple foliage are best planted in open areas.

Japonica

Flowering begins in May. The fruits of this plant resemble real quince, but are much smaller and harder. They are edible. However, the shrub, the height of different types of which varies from 0.5 to 2 meters, is valued not as a fruit crop, but as an ornamental crop.

Beautiful for the dacha and garden, it has a wide spreading crown covered with tough, elongated foliage of a dark green color. The peak of decorativeness occurs with the appearance of many yellow, orange or, depending on the variety, large red flowers.

Japanese quince is frost-resistant, light-loving, not afraid of drought and pruning, and tolerates planting in any soil, even acidic soil. Some plants bloom again in the second half of summer.

Honeysuckle

Blueberry with edible early fruits is a popular garden plant. However, when designing a site, other varieties of shrubs are often forgotten, many of which are extremely decorative and unpretentious.

In Russian conditions, shrubs of real honeysuckle, Tatar honeysuckle, honeysuckle and other species feel great. Plants from one and a half to three meters high are densely leafy. Young greenery and shoots have a bluish tint. In June, the bushes are covered with tubular white, yellowish, pink and orange flowers that emit a delicate aroma. After they wither, red, orange or dark fruits appear.

At the dacha, the decorative shrub takes root both in the sun and in the shade. Feels good on any soil, giving an increase of up to 50 cm per year.

Triloba almond (Louisiana)

A three-lobed almond plant will become a bright decoration of the site. An ornamental shrub or small tree up to 3 meters high blooms before foliage appears and is covered with a bright cloud of simple or semi-double flowers. The corollas can be painted in pink, crimson, and coral tones. The numerous flowers that open in May sit tightly on the shoots, so the crown appears completely pink.

In the middle zone, plants can freeze, so young almonds are covered for the winter, and areas protected from the wind are chosen for planting.

Hydrangea

If there is a lot of shade on the site, many ornamental shrubs in the dacha feel depressed and grow and bloom poorly. The shade-loving plant will be a salvation for the summer resident. She is equally good in a solo setting or in a group. Thanks to the efforts of breeders, spherical or spreading hydrangea bushes delight summer residents with white, pink, blue and greenish inflorescences, which can be admired in the garden, as a cut flower and as a dried flower.

The culture stands out for its long flowering, versatility of use and adaptability to shade. Hydrangeas prefer acidic soil and abundant watering.

Unpretentious shrubs for the garden: photos and names of beautiful plants

Lush flowering of shrubs in a dacha always attracts attention and makes the area “special”. But the petals inevitably fade, and the greenery merges with the general background and is no longer so attractive.

In order for those used in the design to be interesting in summer and autumn, in addition to flowering plants, decorative foliage and original fruit crops should be planted. If you look around, it turns out that there are a lot of names of beautiful shrubs for the garden, as in the photo.

Euonymus

In the forests of central Russia you can find an amazing shrub with ribbed shoots, bright fruits, decorated with unusual orange-pink pericarp and foliage, which by autumn turns into bright pink and violet-purple tones. This European plant is an undemanding plant that can decorate a hill or become a highlight in a group of other shrubs.

Today, creeping varieties of euonymus with green or variegated foliage are very popular. The height of Fortune's euonymus, for example, does not exceed 20 cm. This crop will be equally useful under the crowns of garden trees, under tall beautiful bushes in the country or, as in the photo, among stones and perennial herbs.

Snowberry

Speaking about the best shrubs for decorating a summer cottage, we cannot ignore the snowberry. This deciduous plant, up to a meter tall, does not impress with bright flowers or variegated foliage. The highlight of the snowberry is its very long flowering and decorative white or pink fruits, which remain on bare branches even in winter. In summer, the shoots are densely strewn with pinkish small flowers and ovaries of varying degrees of ripeness.

In the middle zone, the unpretentious garden shrub shown in the photo, according to its name, is not afraid of either freezing or death from drought.

The best place for planting is in sunny areas or clear shade next to other ornamental perennials or as part of a living border.

Golden currant

For many summer residents, currants are a favorite and valuable fruit crop. But not everyone knows that, in addition to white, cranberry and black currants, there are other interesting varieties.

A striking example is, which will easily not only give the owner of the plot a generous harvest of delicious berries, but also decorate the garden. In spring, a large shrub with a spreading crown up to 2.5 meters high is first covered with smooth three- or five-fingered foliage, and then the branches are strewn with numerous yellowish-orange tubular flowers collected in brushes. An excellent honey plant, golden currant attracts a lot of insects to the site, and its flowering lasts up to 3 weeks.

In July, bright brown-golden or almost black sweet fruits bloom, which are liked by both children and adults. Closer to autumn, the foliage on the shrub first acquires orange or pink-red, and then crimson, carmine and purple colors, which persist until the snow.

Kalina

Viburnum cannot be called a truly unpretentious shrub, but its beauty and the benefits of its berries are worth the effort required to care for the plant. In Russian gardens you can see both decorative types of viburnum and ordinary, equally wonderful specimens. In spring and the first days of summer, viburnum bushes are literally covered with graceful white wreaths and lush caps of inflorescences. Flowering lasts up to two weeks.

Bright red fruits appear closer to autumn, at the same time the color of the foliage begins to change, which turns from green to crimson.

The advantages of the culture include frost resistance, stable flowering, adaptability to sun and shade, as well as decorativeness throughout the growing season.

However, despite its general unpretentiousness, viburnum requires attention due to the need for constant watering and protection from pests. This beautiful ornamental shrub for the cottage and garden is very much loved by aphids, which from the viburnum easily spread to other closely related plants.

Rose hip

Numerous photos of unpretentious shrubs for summer cottages with this name show plants that are very different in appearance. This is explained by the fact that “rosehip” is a collective name that unites dozens of species of cultivated and wild roses.

All of them, unlike garden varietal and hybrid beauties, are unpretentious and generously share their beauty and useful fruits with the summer resident. On the site, there is definitely a place for a wrinkled rose with simple or double flowers with a diameter of up to 8 cm, a sweetish-spicy aroma and color in all shades from white to deep pink. This shrub has wrinkled, large leaves that give the shrub its name, and flattened fruits with juicy orange pulp and a mass of pubescent seeds inside.

A garden shrub classified as park roses, it has a universal purpose and blooms from May until the end of summer. Thanks to this and the foliage turning yellow in autumn, the bush is decorative from early spring until late autumn. It grows well in all types of soil, does not freeze in winter and is easily kept within the specified boundaries with regular pruning.

No less decorative is the gray rose, with purple-silver leaves, pink flowers and edible bright red fruits. The shrub, up to 2 meters high, blooms in mid-summer, survives harsh winters without loss and is not afraid of drought.

The light-loving plant is not demanding on soil fertility, but is afraid of stagnant water and reacts poorly to increased soil acidity.

Irga

Irga is well known to summer residents of the Urals and Siberia, but it will be no less interesting to those who are not indifferent to the beauty of the site in other regions of the country. The plant, with a height of 2 to 5 meters, not only stands out for its winter hardiness. Blooming luxuriantly in spring, this is an excellent honey plant.

White or milky flowers collected in clusters cover the entire bush, and by the second half of summer they turn into scatterings of round, gradually ripening fruits. At this time, the bush is painted in all shades of pink, purple and violet.

The simple, oval or almost rounded leaves of serviceberry in spring and summer have a dark green color with a purple tint, which in the fall gives way to festive carmine, orange, scarlet and purple colors.

The fruits of the serviceberry are tasty and healthy, so the drought-resistant and frost-resistant shrub is often grown as a fruit crop. But its rich blooms and vibrant fall foliage make it a valuable ornamental plant.

Hawthorn

Another shrub crop with useful fruits, hawthorn has long been valued as a plant valuable for landscape design. In addition to varieties with ordinary, white flowers, specimens with pink, simple and double corollas are popular today.

It transforms the garden throughout June, and closer to autumn the bushes are covered with reddish-purple fruits. A tall, beautiful shrub for a summer residence, as in the photo, is good both in a single planting and in a group, next to other bushes and smaller herbaceous plants.

To plant hawthorn, choose well-lit areas with loose soil. Without labor-intensive care, the plant will delight you for many years with its excellent appearance and generous harvest.

The list of noteworthy ornamental plants does not end with the above names and photos of beautiful shrubs for the garden. Many more crops can decorate a site without requiring daily protection or labor-intensive care from the summer resident. An excellent example is the one that migrated from the forest. The veins of the flower beds will be illuminated by bright forsythia. The spectacular action and chokeberry make an unforgettable impression on the viewer. The choice is huge, and with a careful approach, even a beginner can choose plants to his liking.
