Not all plants thrive in the shade of a tree
So you plant a tree slice with creative skill
If it greens and flowers in the garden on several floors, the planting plan is a creative hit. An important contribution is made by the skilful planting of tree disks in order to fancifully close the optical gaps between the crowns and the ground. Of course, not all plants can cope with the special lighting conditions and the root pressure at this location. This guide will introduce you to suitable species and varieties for the planting of tree disks.
Expertly selecting tree-planting - that's how it works
On tree grates, different climatic conditions prevail in the smallest space. Close to the trunk on the northern side, dry shade dominates. The light conditions brighten up along the outer tree disc and the soil is moister. If you take this framework into consideration when selecting plants, the entire tree disc shines in floral splendor. The following overview introduces you to recommended species and varieties:
Location: trunk near north
Location: Middle to outer tree slice
Look out for distinctly easy-care plants for the greening of tree disks, the evergreen groundcover creeping honeysuckle (Lonicera pileata) and creeping spindle (Euonymus fortunei) in the focus. The deciduous pendant with equally modest claims is the low purple berry (Symphoricarpos x chenaultii), which flourishes equally well in sun and full shade and shows the cold shoulder of any root pressure.
Specialists for flat-rooting trees
The most popular trees for the front garden are among the shallow-root species, such as the wonderful globe maple 'Globosum'. Where strong rhizomes are located just below the surface of the earth, floral specialists are needed to plant the tree disc. Evergreen (Vinca minor), elven flowers (Epimedium) as well as the gold strawberry (Waldsteinia ternata) meet this special order with flying colors.
Planting a tree slice - looking over the shoulder of guerrilla gardeners
Empty coffers of cities and municipalities result in unsightly trees along the streets. The tristesse proliferating weeds under trees no longer wanted to tolerate the inhabitants and are increasingly taking the plants into their own hands. The results are so promising that many local governments are even encouraging guerrilla gardeners to continue planting. For gardeners, it is interesting that the following plant species have proven to be best on tree disks:
The horticultural activists are now refraining from ivy (Hedera helix) as tree-planting. The high-growth groundcover is unsuitable for the narrow space in inner-city space. Home gardeners benefit from this insight and use in the front garden and small garden also no ivy as underplantation of house trees.
Tips
The Walnut Tree relies on a clever defense strategy against root competition on its tree-pulley. The fall foliage is packed with germ-resistant fabrics that make life difficult for any underplant. In order to decorate walnut trees, we recommend a mulch layer of colored pine bark or root-conserving paving with small paving.
