Preparing for landing
Before planting, planting material is selected. Preference is given only to seedlings that are no more than 2 years old. Old seedlings will not yield good yields.
Pay attention to the appearance of the roots. Their length should not be more than 25 cm. Also, there should be no signs of damage or disease on the root system, otherwise the plant will quickly die.
The soil should be chosen loose. It is important that it contains a minimum of acid-base balance and is characterized by a high content of nutrients. This is important for the development of the root system and the entire tree. Preference should be given to chernozem or loamy soil.
Landing rules
The tree needs to be tied up
Planting the variety Lyubimitsa Klappa is best done in the fall. During the winter, the root system will get stronger, and in the spring it will begin to form into bunches.
Dig a hole in advance with dimensions of 60 x 100 cm. A support is buried in it, where the sapling is then tied up. This allows it to form smoothly and not break under the influence of the wind.
Having spread the roots around the entire perimeter of the pit, they are gradually covered with earth.The earth must penetrate even into the space between the parts of the roots. The neck of the root system should be 4 cm above the ground. After that, the plant is completely covered and the soil is slightly tamped. The tree is immediately tied to the support. After that, a small circular hole is formed around the young tree. It is designed for irrigation.
The tree is watered immediately after planting. At least 2 buckets of water at room temperature (28-30 ° C) are poured into the formed hole. Also, water is mixed with humus, the plant is watered. This allows the roots to grab onto the soil immediately and develop better.

Pruning
