Hydrangea strong anabel planting and care in the open field

Hydrangea has become a favorite among gardeners due to its excellent appearance, variety of colors and shapes and long flowering. Increasingly, people are decorating their backyards with tree hydrangea. But in order for the plant to fully reveal itself, the gardener needs to adhere to some rules for care and planting.

Description of the plant

Treelike hydrangea is a bush with spreading branches, ranging in height from one to three meters. It all depends on the specific plant variety.

The whole bush is strewn with huge inflorescences. One inflorescence can reach thirty centimeters. It contains both small fertile flowersand large sterile ones. The largest flower in an inflorescence is usually no more than three centimeters.

The leaves of the bush have a rounded elongated shape.that looks amazingly beautiful in an ensemble with inflorescences. This can be seen in the photo. Some types of hydrangeas remain green all year round, while some foliage turns red.

Hydrangea is often used in landscaping and is suitable for both living fencing and flower arrangements. Clematis and roses will be a wonderful neighbor for her.

Hydrangea tree: varieties with photos

Today there are many types of this beautiful plant, but frost-resistant varieties are the most popular.

The most popular varieties:

• hydrangea tree annabelle;
• hydrangea treelike grandiflora;
• hydrangea tree bounty;
• hydrangea tree sterilis;
• hydrangea treelike incredibol.

Let's analyze each type separately and give a short description..

Annabelle

This hydrangea has spherical inflorescences with white flowers. The diameter of the inflorescence is up to 20 centimeters. The height of the bush is no more than one and a half meters, but it spreads out to the sides quite strongly, the volume can reach three meters.

The plant blooms from June to September. At the same time, due to the severity of the inflorescences, the bush tends the branches to the ground. Therefore, it is better to tie up a tree to avoid breaking the branches. The Annabelle variety is unusual in that its foliage remains green until the very frost.

Grandiflora

This is an artificially bred variety, which was obtained by selection of the Anabel tree hydrangea variety. A feature of this variety is the large cream or lemon inflorescences. The bush of Grandiflora can reach a height of two meters. It blooms from June to September.

Incrediboll

This variety is characterized by an even larger inflorescence size than Grandiflora.The variety is unusual in that, as the flowering progresses, the inflorescences gradually change their shade from green to boiling white. This is a strikingly beautiful sight. The plant looks very attractive when some inflorescences are still greenish, while others are already white. It looks like a large and delicate bouquet.

The height of the bush can reach from one and a half to three meters. But the branches of the bush are fragile and tend to the ground when flowering.

Sterilis

Plant with very viable cuttings, fast growth and a long period of abundant flowering, which lasts from July to October. Sterilis is similar to Incrediboll with a change in the color of the inflorescences. In this variety, everything happens the same way - white petals are replaced by greenish ones. The height of such a bush can reach two meters in height, and in volume it can spread up to 2.5 meters.

Bounty

This hydrangea is often used for decorative purposes as a hedge, since the height of the bush does not exceed one meter. Bounty's inflorescences are in the form of a cap and are about 30 centimeters in diameter. The color ranges from cream to pure white.

Flowering occurs from June to September. These shrubs do not require any fixation or garter as they are quite sturdy and can withstand any rain or wind.

The range of species is so diverse that any gardener will definitely find a plant to his liking. However, in order for the plant to meet the description, it must be looked after according to certain rules, maintain soil parameters and cut the shrub.

Pink Annabelle

A bush up to one and a half meters high can spread in a volume of up to 3 meters.

The leaves are green, but by autumn they change their color to a more yellow one. Pink Annabelle blooms from June to September. The inflorescences are quite large and reach 30 centimeters, in shape they resemble a ball. The color at the beginning of flowering is dark pink, and over time it turns into a rich pink. Hydrangea branches are strong and can withstand inclement weather.

To form large and abundant inflorescences, the plant needs pruning. The stronger the bush is tied, the more inflorescences will be, but their number will decrease. This variety is frost-resistant, but in the northern regions it is still worth using shelters.

Pink Annabelle is often used in flower beds. The plant looks great both alone and in an ensemble with lilies and roses.

Strong Annabelle

The bush, as a rule, is up to one and a half meters high and 1 meter in volume. The bush itself looks like a ball, its leaves are green, but by autumn they turn yellow. This hydrangea is quite strong and can handle wind and rain well.

The inflorescences are large and reach thirty centimeters in diameter. The flowers are white and turn greenish.

The bush must be pruned. In severe frosts, branches may suffer, but in spring the plant will recover. Strong Annabelle loves the sun and active watering.

Looks great in a flowerbed as an independent plant and in an ensemble with other flowers. It is also used as a curb plant.

Bush planting rules

The abundance and duration of hydrangea flowering directly depends on the planting site. Requirements for the planting site of any sort of hydrangea:

• Good lighting in the morning and evening hours, and at noon - partial shade. Heat and sun rays will shorten flowering by 3-5 weeks. But a hydrangea that is constantly in the shade will bloom with smaller flowers than is provided for by the variety.
• Wind protection. Most varieties of tree hydrangea have weak stems, which, at the slightest gust of wind, can simply break or scatter the stems to the sides and then the bush will become untidy.
• The trees should be about three meters from the hydrangea, otherwise it will be a bad neighborhood. The tree will take up all the water and the hydrangea will not be watered enough.

So, we can conclude that the ideal place for planting a bush will be the north side near some structure that protects from the wind.

Site and seedling preparation

Hydrangea prefers acidic and slightly acidic soil... On it, the plant opens up as efficiently as possible, blooms profusely with large inflorescences, the color of the flowers is bright and saturated.

Do not plant hydrangeas in alkaline soil., otherwise it will get sick and stop blooming altogether.

Soil parameters can be improved by adding peat, sawdust and other organic compounds to it. This is done 6 months or even a year before the intended planting of the bush.

Breeding absolutely any sort of hydrangea occurs in several different ways:

• Purchase of seedlings. It is best to purchase them in early spring, before flowering. Before planting a seedling, it is kept in a warm manganese solution for an hour. This disinfects the plant and helps it take root better.
• Cuttings. They need to be harvested in June-July early in the morning, when the leaves have not yet had time to get moisture. One stalk should contain 2 internodes. The stalk is lowered into sand with peat three centimeters deep at an angle of 45 degrees. The cutting takes root within one month and in August it will be possible to plant it in the soil.
• Layers. For this, lateral young shoots are used. The selected shoot must be laid in a recess dug next to the bush and secured. After that, the shoot is sprinkled with earth a little and occasionally watered. In the next spring, the layers can already be separated from the bush and planted in another place.

Planting a plant

Planting is carried out exclusively in early spring, when the soil has already warmed up, but the buds on the bushes have not yet blossomed.

So, let's start landing:

1. Digging a depression of about 50x50 cm.
2. The distance between seedlings should be at least 1.5 meters.
3. We send fertile soil mixed with peat and humus to the hole.
4. Cut off the roots of the seedling a little and remove the bad branches.
5. By lowering the seedling into the hole, we straighten the roots.
6. We cover the rhizomes with three centimeters of earth and crush the soil to get rid of voids that will lead to drying out of the roots.
7. We water the bush.

Subject to these rules, hydrangea blooms for the fourth year.

Hydrangea

Plant care

Plant care consists of mulching, watering, fertilizing, and seasonal pruning. Correct and timely fertilization of the soil for hydrangea will allow the bush to bloom abundantly.

Top dressing is carried out in three stages:

• Two weeks after planting, you need to feed the plant with potassium sulfate and superphosphate. So you need to fertilize the bush every year at the beginning of spring.
• During the formation of inflorescences, the bush is fertilized with mineral fertilizers. Just do not get carried away with nitrogen fertilizers, as they affect the color of the inflorescences. In addition, overfeeding with nitrogen will entail a decrease in the frost resistance of the plant and even lead to death.
• In August, the soil is fertilized with manure and this is the last top dressing of the season.

In September, no additional feeding is made, since you need to let the bush grow stronger and prepare for winter.

Watering the tree hydrangea

The root system of the hydrangea is horizontal, but in the summer heat, the bush must be watered every two days. Watering should be quite abundant so that the plant has enough saturation and a supply of water remains. Once a month, you can apply a slightly pink solution of potassium permanganate when watering. This will strengthen the shoots.

Mulching a plant

An integral part of tree hydrangea care is mulching to keep the plant from overheating on hot days. In addition, it helps to get rid of weeds, which take excess moisture from the soil.

Mulching is done by placing a layer of peat under the bush.... The layer should be no more than 20 centimeters. Organic compost and sawdust can also be used.

Pruning a tree hydrangea bush

The plant grows quite actively and in order for the bush to look aesthetically pleasing, it is necessary to form it every spring and autumn. Pruning should be done no earlier than four years after planting, because a young hydrangea has a rather high level of sap flow along the stems and one wrong movement in pruning can easily destroy the plant.

Pruning is done in four steps:

• preventive pruning, during which bad, broken stems are removed;
• rejuvenation pruning designed for five-year-old plants. At the same time, old shoots are removed, which do not allow the plant to develop normally and draw a lot of nutrients from it;
• the formation of a bush - last year's processes are shortened by 4 pairs of buds;
• thinning, in which you need to remove excess shoots without inflorescences. They interfere with the hydrangea and take away nutrients from it.

Regular pruning is needed in order to form a beautiful, neat bush, as well as adjust the number of inflorescences.

After the flowering period, it is necessary to remove all dry branches and inflorescences.

Despite the fact that hydrangea - frost-resistant plant, after all, it's not worth the risk. Better to cover the bush for the winter. This is done as follows:

• all unopened foliage is removed;
• the base of the bush is covered with sawdust;
• the plant is fixed with a peg;
• the bush is covered with plastic wrap.

Such manipulations will definitely allow the plant to winter well and please the owner the next year. Subject to all the rules for caring for a tree hydrangea, it will very soon delight the owner with incredible flowering.

If you decide to decorate or revive the interior of your personal plot, then the tree hydrangea "Annabelle" is a plant just for these purposes. A small shrub with a snow-white cap of flowers is popular among gardeners for its ease of growing, ease of care and compactness.

Hydrangea tree Annabelle - description

The Annabelle variety is a small bush up to 1.5 meters high. Its crown is formed by leaves of bright green color. Their shape is oval, their length is up to 20 centimeters. They retain their color until the first frost. At the end of the first summer month, the plant blooms. The bush is covered with dense inflorescences, the size of each flower is about 2 centimeters. Often, the crown diameter reaches 3 meters.

The peculiarity of the Annabelle variety is that it is resistant to cold climates. This allows it to be grown in our latitudes. The care is not capricious, its decorative appearance can retain up to 50 years and at the same time it does not require transplantation.

Hydrangea tree-like "Annabelle" is capable of absorbing dyes from the soil, as a result of which the color of its flowers can change. For example, the presence of aluminum in the soil can change the white color of the inflorescences to blue.

One of the subspecies of the variety is the Strong Annabel tree hydrangea. It requires the same conditions in the care, the bush grows no more than 1.5 meters in height. The only difference is in the inflorescences. The flowers are much larger, they are so abundant that sometimes it is not even possible to see the presence of foliage. Flowering begins with the arrival of summer and continues until the beginning of autumn.

Hydrangea tree-like "Pink Annabel" got its name from the pink shade of the inflorescences. This subspecies is frost-resistant. Inflorescences are formed in mid-summer, flowering continues until late autumn. The height of the shrub, as a rule, does not exceed 1 meter, the stems are denser.

Landing in open ground

To enjoy the flowering of hydrangeas for many years, you need to take care of the right choice of the site for planting in advance. An important condition is the absence of strong winds. Ornamental trees or a high fence can be a good barrier to drafts. This variety negatively perceives the scorching sun, but at the same time, the bush should receive sufficient lighting for most of the day.

Due to the fact that "Annabelle" loves moisture, you need to take care that trees with a large root system do not grow nearby. If the soil remains dry, then you can not wait for the plant to bloom.

Site and soil preparation

They do not like transplanting hydrangeas, therefore, before planting in open ground, it is necessary to take the preparation of the soil with all responsibility. To ensure maximum growth and active bud formation, it is worth monitoring the pH level. The growing medium should remain neutral or acidic. Loam (loose clay soil with admixtures of sand) is best suited for planting a plant. This mixture can be placed in the pit a few days before the planned disembarkation. This will allow the soil to be saturated with oxygen. The introduction of lime or ash into the soil will slow down and worsen the survival rate of the plant; instead, you can fertilize with phosphate or potassium fertilizers.

How and when to plant?

The ideal time for planting is May or September. In spring, the seedlings themselves can tell when they should go into the open ground - the buds should already be formed, but not bloom.

Pour the prepared wells with water and wait until the excess moisture is absorbed into the soil. Spread out the horse system of the bush and place the seedling in the center of the hole. Start filling the hole with soil so that the root collar is underground.

The acidity of the soil can be increased with peat.

Caring for hydrangea tree Annabelle

As already noted, hydrangea does not need special care skills. It is enough to know a few simple rules for the bush to continue to delight you for many years.

Watering and feeding

The plant loves enough moisture, so it is very important to take care of regular watering. Do not allow the soil to dry out. It is necessary to feed with mineral or organic fertilizers. The latter are actively used during flowering. Top dressing is applied in spring or summer. If the soil in which the plant was planted is weak for the presence of useful components, then it can be diluted with humus, peat, leafy soil.

Pruning

It is best to prune the plant in the fall. During the procedure, dried flowers and old shoots are removed to the ground. This will allow in the future to form a more lush rounded crown shape.

Hydrangea tolerates pruning perfectly, but it is worth remembering that a plant that has not reached 3 years of age should not be touched. The procedure is carried out as needed, it can not be done every year.

How to care for hydrangea in autumn, winter

With the arrival of autumn, the plant must be prepared for winter. As we have already noted, the main preparation is to remove old shoots and inflorescences. Treelike hydrangea is frost-resistant; in most parts of Russia, it does not need to be wrapped. If the shoots are slightly frozen, do not rush to remove them. They quickly recover with the arrival of spring and delight with lush flowering. In cold regions, it is recommended to mulch the trunk circle.

An adult plant in the fall needs to be tied up in order to prevent branches from breaking off under a large weight of snow.

Reproduction of hydrangea tree Annabelle

In order to propagate the Annabelle hydrangea, it is not necessary to purchase new seedlings. Planting material can be obtained from a plant bush in your area. The breeding process is elementary. For this, cuttings or bends are used. You can also get a new bush by dividing the rhizome.

The latter option is considered the most difficult and if your experience in gardening is minimal, it is better not to risk it. The diameter of the bush is quite large. Trying to separate the root, you can injure the main bush, which will lead to various troubles, up to the death of the plant.

To propagate the plant with cuttings, cut off some young shoots in early spring (before the buds bloom).Their average length should be 10-15 centimeters, it is better to cut it obliquely. For 15 days, the cuttings must be placed in a vessel with water or fertile soil. The air temperature should be at least 20 degrees. It is possible to plant shoots in open ground only after a two-year period.

The easiest way to reproduce is by branches. To do this, take the extreme strongest shoot (this should be done at the time of bud formation) and bend it to the ground in the middle of the twig. Put some earth in the place where the fold forms and fix it. Don't forget to water regularly. After a year, roots are formed, which will allow the young sprout to be transplanted into a separate place.

Protection against diseases and pests

In most cases, Annabelle is not susceptible to diseases and pests. But for prevention, it will not be superfluous to treat the bush with Bordeaux liquid in the spring. If the plant does not get enough iron, a disease such as chlorosis can occur. It is worth starting to make iron-containing preparations and the disease will lose ground.

There have been cases when the plant attacks aphids or spider mites. Helpers with these pests will be Tiofos, Kleschevit, Fufanon or other similar drugs.

Use in landscape design

The versatility of hydrangea allows you to use it in the landscape design of park areas, city gardens, venues for events, arboretums, and personal plots. The plant goes well with lilies, roses, spireas. Often, hydrangea bushes create a kind of contrast between spring and autumn varieties of flowers. The Annabelle variety can bring a touch of romance to your garden. If there is a small body of water on the site, then the hydrangea can serve as the main element of the decoration of its coastal zone. Other moisture-loving plants will be a good addition to the composition. Even after a period of flowering, plants will continue to delight with the variety of their leaf plates.

From all that has been said above, it can be noted that the tree hydrangea requires a minimum amount of attention and at the same time gives incredible beauty. The shrub blooms throughout the summer and pleases with its huge snow-white inflorescences.

Hydrangea is a wonderful garden decoration. Combined with other plants, it can create amazing compositions. Hydrangea Anabel, planting and caring for which is not difficult, but has its own secrets, is considered a prominent representative of this family. This plant is used both alone and in combination with other representatives of the flora. These are very unusual shrubs with many varieties and colors of inflorescences. Gardeners appreciate them for the shape of leaves, flowers, unpretentiousness and beauty during flowering.

Foreword

What is hydrangea? The plant belongs to the hydrangea family. This genus has about 100 species. It is impossible to list everything. There are climbing, upright, evergreen, thermophilic, frost-hardy, deciduous, dwarf and tree-like shrubs. The latter includes the hydrangea Anabel. Planting and caring for this representative of the flora is not very different from other varieties. In its natural environment, this plant lives in the Himalayas, East Asia, South and North America. Hydrangea gets its name from the unusual shape of the seed box.

Peculiarities

The plant of amazing beauty has many features for which gardeners love it. Hydrangea leaves have a beautiful green color. They are large, slightly oval, with uneven edges. In the fall, hydrangea looks especially attractive. At this point, the bush may contain flowers, buds and seed pods. Leaves by autumn also differ in color tone from each other. Hydrangea is a shrub. It can be shaped at your own discretion by cutting the branches a little.

Inflorescences

The flowers of the plant are especially worth noting. The shape of the inflorescence depends on the species.They can be in the form of an umbrella, panicle, bump or ball. Inside, the flowers are smaller, and at the edges - large, having only four petals. But it is the small flowers that are fruitful, and the large ones are sterile. The color of the inflorescences is the most diverse. It depends on both the type and the quality of the soil.

On alkaline soil, a bowl is found hydrangea with pinkish flowers, and on acidic soil - with blue ones. Hydrangea Anabel (tree), planting and caring for which is interesting to many gardeners, has beautiful white inflorescences. Only varieties with cream and white flowers are not affected by the composition of the soil. The palette of this plant is so diverse that it is impossible to list all the species. The color of a flower can contain several shades that will smoothly blend into each other.

Types of hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are divided into indoor and garden varieties. It should be noted that these are completely different plants. Paniculate species differ in the shape of inflorescences. Among them, the variety Hortensia Vanilla Freyz can be distinguished. It is a frost-hardy shrub that reaches a height of 2 meters. Its white inflorescences gradually acquire a pink tint. They resemble clusters of lilacs.

Among the tree varieties, the Anabel hydrangea stands out, planting and caring for which are described in this article. Ground cover varieties are low shrubs. Garden hydrangeas reach a height of one meter. They have very large globular inflorescences with different colors and bright leaves. It should also be noted rough, large-leaved, serrate, petiolate, ash and radiant hydrangeas.

Anabel

The hydrangea Anabel is especially popular among gardeners, planting and caring for which is not very difficult. It is an ornamental tree shrub with delightful flowers. Its height is about one and a half meters. The inflorescences of this variety are very large. They reach about 30 centimeters in diameter. Hydrangea Anabel, a description of the variety, planting and caring for which allows you to decorate the garden with a magnificent plant, pleases with its beauty from June to September.

It requires minimal shelter in winter, as it is a frost-resistant shrub. Slightly shaded areas can be chosen to accommodate this variety. Anabelle hydrangea bushes are easy to cut. This variety is resistant to diseases and pests. The plant is used to decorate plots both as a single planting and in combination with other plants.

Strong Anabel

The Anabel variety has its own subspecies. For example, Strong Annabel hydrangea. Planting and caring for this plant does not differ from the main varieties. It is a tree-like garden shrub that can grow up to 1.5 meters in height. Its distinctive feature is a very large number of inflorescences. This figure is four times higher than that of Anabel. Large spherical flowers amaze with their beauty all summer and early autumn. This species is resistant to diseases and tolerates frost well.

Pink Annabelle

The popularity of the Anabel hydrangea prompts breeders to develop new varieties that have excellent characteristics. These include the Pink Anabel hydrangea. Planting and caring for this plant includes standard agricultural practices. This is a new and improved variety, which, unlike its predecessors, does not have traditional white inflorescences, but pink ones. Pink Annabel reaches a height of 1.2 meters. Large pink flowers surprise with their beauty and majesty. The flowering period lasts from July until the first frost. The shrub has strong shoots that do not bend to the ground. This variety is also frost-resistant and disease-resistant.

Ground requirements

Each plant needs its own soil composition. Hydrangea Annabel takes root in any part of the garden. The main condition for planting it is high acidity. For good growth, an acidic soil reaction is necessary. Therefore, a special soil for azaleas or peat is added to the planting pit.A mixture of peat and leafy earth, with potassium sulfate and superphosphate, is also acceptable. You can mix and use a mixture of leaf humus or compost to plant the hydrangea.

Landing

The planting pit is about 50 centimeters deep. But here it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of a particular seedling. The width and length of the landing pit are about 60 centimeters. The root system of the plant needs a sufficient amount of air. Hydrangea Annabel or any other variety loves loose soils and good moisture access. Before placing the seedling in the hole, the roots are shortened. Young shoots are pruned to 3-4 buds. In the future, such a manipulation will allow you to get a beautifully formed lush bush. The seedling is placed in a hole and covered with earth. Then it is watered abundantly. To retain moisture at the root system, mulching is carried out. Peat mulch works well for this. You can also use pine needles, compost, expanded clay, paper, straw, film or sawdust. The main thing is that the top layer breathes, and moisture regularly flows to the roots.

Boarding time

The most optimal planting dates are early spring or autumn. In the spring, planting is carried out after the end of the frost, when the earth is warmed up well enough. It is necessary to do this procedure before the plant begins to grow rapidly and form inflorescences. Plants planted in the fall take root well. However, for better rooting in the first year, the hydrangea must be covered from the onset of frost until early spring. You can plant a shrub in the summer, but provided that it is in a container with a closed root system.

Care during the season

Many gardeners cannot achieve abundant flowering of hydrangeas. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, it is the wrong choice of the landing site. The shrub does not tolerate extreme heat. Therefore, it is better to plant it in those places where there is partial shade during the day. The sun's rays in the morning and in the evening will be enough for him. Secondly, the quality of the soil plays an important role in the formation of inflorescences. Garden hydrangea Anabel, planting and caring for which will bear fruit in the future, loves acidic soils. Even the shade of colors depends on it. You can feed the hydrangea with fertilizers with potassium, iron, phosphorus and nitrogen during the season. Even sour milk is used as a top dressing. But if you get carried away with the process, then this will have a bad effect on the quality of the flowers. Hydrangea Anabel has snow-white large inflorescences. If you overdo it with fertilizers, then they will acquire a greenish tint. The shrub loves moisture. Therefore, moderate and regular watering is recommended. The soil around the hydrangea must be loosened. In the spring, pruning of shoots should be carried out. As a result, the shrub will respond with more abundant flowering.

Preparing for winter

Tree-like Anabel does not tolerate severe frosts. Therefore, it is better to prepare it for the winter period. To do this, the bush is tied to a peg, which must be carefully driven in without damaging the roots. Coniferous branches must be laid under the bush. So the root system will be reliably protected. On average, a plant can live up to 50 years. Planting and caring for a hydrangea is not that difficult. This shrub will delight and decorate the garden for a very long time.

All fine words about the hydrangea subspecies tree-like Anabel. One of the most popular hydrangea tree varieties. Widely distributed throughout Europe. Especially loved by the Dutch and Belgians.
The streets of these countries are shrouded in numerous blooming, boiled inflorescences of the Annabelle subspecies. It is better to start acquaintance with the family, it is with this variety, it combines so many positive qualities. Shrubs are compact in size, growing neatly in all directions. Stress-resistant to low temperature conditions, so they can be easily grown in almost all regions of our country.

Hydrangea Annabelle flowering description

The flowering time covers the entire summer period and the first month of autumn. The flowering cap is heavy for the crown, so in order to avoid breaking the bush must be tied up. The inflorescences of this shrub consist of large snow-white flowers, the size of which can increase from better care and feeding.

It is interesting to experiment with the tree variety Anabel.

Flowers can have different colors depending on the special dyes used when watering the plant. Bushes are considered to be a special skill of care, on which inflorescences of two shades are present at the same time.
The leaves of this variety are light green on the upper side and dimmer, grayish on the bottom. The shape of the leaf is rounded.

with proper care, it can have several times more flowers from a pale pink hue to a deep pink than the tree hydrangea Anabel photo.
This specimen looks good both as a single planting and in the form of numerous compositions from several specimens. Hedges are especially popular. For all its positive qualities, this subspecies is loved by specialists in the field of landscape design and amateur gardeners. These specimens are able to cover not quite aesthetic corners, thereby decorating the whole picture of the garden.

Hydrangea tree Anabel planting and care photo

Despite the unpretentiousness, the shrub prefers a large amount of light, soil that has an acidified environment and a sufficient amount of moisture. Every year, the plants must be pruned, otherwise the inflorescences will be small.

The technological qualities of the Anabel variety are very indicative.

Any cuttings of this plant are capable of giving excellent inflorescences in the first year, rooting is easy, and growth is very active.
Today it is difficult to find a variety that has so many advantages. But along with them, there are some disadvantages. Taking into account some conditions of care, it is possible to reduce all negative aspects to a minimum. Hydrangea easily reacts to the acidity of the soil; alkaline soils are not at all suitable for this variety.
Before winter, the branches of the bushes are tied and simply bent to the surface of the earth, and it is useful to cover young plantings. Spruce paws, peat or fabric can be used as covering material.

Arboreal Anabel disease pests

Disruption in the production of chlorophyll in the leaves often leads to chlorosis. The reason for this disease is the lack of iron ions. The balance of this metal can be restored by irrigation with the addition of iron-containing substances.
Of the pests that infect this family, the most common is aphids, the presence of which is easily visible on the underside of the leaves, and then immediately carry out the treatment.
