The corkscrew hazel grows in the bucket - tips for plants and care
With its picturesque appearance, the corkscrew has a balcony and terrace all year round. Reason enough to cultivate the wood with the magic radiance in the bucket. Read about the details of planting and caring for a Corylus avellana.
Skillfully plant in the right bucket - That's how it works
As a heart rhizome, a corkscrew has its roots spread both in depth and in width. Choose a bucket with a volume of at least 30 liters. So that excess irrigation water does not accumulate in the substrate, an opening in the soil is of highest relevance. If you spread a drainage of potsherds over it, waterlogging has no chance.
As a substrate, we recommend a high quality potting soil, which you optimize with compost, perlite and a little sand. Before taking the young plant out of the seed hopper, place the root ball in water until no more air bubbles appear. If the previous planting depth remains in the bucket, you have done everything right.
How to properly cultivate a corkscrew hazel
In the sunny, warm and sheltered location, the corkscrew hazel feels in good hands in the tub. Let this care be given to your picturesque woody beauty:
Since the bizarre hazel species in the tub is not completely hardy, we recommend appropriate precautions before the winter arrives. This includes a warm winter coat made of bast mats for the pot. A wooden base provides a frost-resistant foot. Please place the vessel in front of the protective south wall of the house and cover the substrate with a layer of autumn leaves, straw or needle twigs.
Tips
