Greening your site with decorative plants is very simple, if you approach it competently and do not plant precious hundred parts of plants. Very beautifully in the groups and individually looks the goat willow (Bredina), although not many know the tree or shrub. After all, if the shrub is sufficiently compact, it is always a welcome guest in a small area, but a large tree is more suitable for a park area than for a private household.
Goat Willow Description
In nature, the bredine reaches a fairly high altitude - about 10 meters and has a dense wide crown. Leaves of goat willow are light green, elongated with sharpening at the end. Thanks to a long period of flowering (late March-mid-April), this tree is distinguished by its high ornamentality. Fluffy yellow "seals" are unusually and elegantly looked on the plot of land. The goat willow is an excellent honey plant and you need to know about it with people who are allergic to bee venom .
But the height of the goat willow on the stem, which is most often grown on its sites, is not great. Optimal planting a plant a half or two meters in height to get a decorative bush with a spherical crown, decorated with flowing flexible branches.
Growing conditions
The goat willow is a short tree, grown with a decorative purpose. To green their site does not require much effort - it grows on any soil, but prefers places near water bodies.
The tree will delight the eye with its graceful beauty if it is provided with regular watering, but without rooting. To avoid stagnation of water, a generous layer of drainage is laid in the pit. In addition to water, the tree needs an annual formation of the crown, that is, pruning. And the first three years it is very short, leaving the branches up to 15cm long.
