The root system of the Prunus domestica develops into a magnificent structure. We provide information about the special needs of the easy-care rose plant.
Young plum trees
The root runners of small plants are located in the upper layers of the earth. Pay attention to the following care instructions:
- Water regularly: Small roots do not store liquid.
- Generous tree grate: roots of perennials, flower bulbs or shrubs prevent sustainable development
In addition, you support the rooting process by removing the plum blossoms in the first year of planting.
Older specimens
Large plum trees have a root system that resembles the volume of the tree crown. Avoid planting in this area. Support tree growth with regular compost and a protective grass mulch layer. Bark mulch has an unfavorable effect.
If necessary, about 10% of the roots can be removed. To do this, clear this area. An electric chainsaw is suitable for this purpose.
tips and tricks
If older plum trees change location, the entire root ball should be dug up. Spring or late fall is excellent for this purpose.
