When do you have to change the oak, beech and birch?
- Hi Jakoba. What would be the best time to transplant a young oak and a young beech? Both are about five years old. On the other hand, we have a birch about two years on the balcony and we want to take it to a section that we have on the mountain, when should it be done? Thank you! EKAITZ Martinez (Ordizia).
Hello, Ekaitz. The three trees clear up in winter, they lose their foliage. Both oak (Quercus robur), beech (Fagus sylvatica), and birch (Betula pubescens) are the times when it is changed: the winter moon, this year between 24 January and 4 February. The winter stop is used for planting work. Do it as quickly as possible, as long as there is no fear of ice. If it is very cold, crush the soil well on the roots after planting and put a lot of new manure on top of it to prevent the cold from getting through the slits of the soil. Without forgetting it: planting the land at the same level as before in the neck of the tree once planted.
When choosing the usual place of residence for trees, it should be borne in mind that most of the water is required by birch, the beech will also be grateful for water, while the oak will be adapted in a drier terrain.
