How to maintain your teal tree - tips and tricks
The bluebell tree lives up to its name during the flowering season, as the pink-violet to blue flowers stand upright like bluebells in up to 40 centimeters long umbels and smell beguiling. He is not easy to take care of.
The ideal location
Warm and dry is the ideal location for your bluebell tree, also known as Kaiserbaum or Paulownia. He can not stand a cold wind, least of all in winter. Due to its imposing appearance, the bluebell tree should be planted as a solitary, also requires the expansive crown quite a lot of space. Dryness and heat tolerate the Paulownia relatively well.
Which floor is best for the tree?
Originally the blue-bell or emperor tree originates from China. He likes a moderately dry to slightly fresh and not too lean soil. This may be slightly acidic to alkaline and should not promote waterlogging. If the soil is too moist and loamy, then the young shoots of your bluebell tree will not lignify on time.
Pour the bluebell tree properly and fertilize
Although the bluebell tree has a fairly high water requirement, but this can cover an older tree quite well alone. Its roots are widely branched. In contrast, a young tree should be watered regularly, especially in summer. In the spring and / or summer, the bluebell tree is grateful for a dose of ripe compost.
Crop the teal tree
A pruning tolerates the Blauglockenbaum quite well, even if this time something radically precipitated. It is best to prune your tree between May and July before training its new buds. Frost-damaged shoots can be cut in the spring.

A young bluebell tree is not yet hardy. He absolutely needs a proper winter protection. Since the flower buds form in the fall, the bluebell tree is somewhat prone to late frosts. These occasionally freeze the buds.
