The Vinca Major thrives in the shadow of a maple
So you plant ball maple with horticultural skill
Under the maple a dense network of shallow roots spreads out. Perennials and flowers for creative planting have a hard time standing here. As this guide tells you, you still do not have to do without a tasteful plant that decoratively lays your Acer platanoides globosum at your feet.
Plant selection - here root pressure and partial shade are negligible
Plants need to be tough if they want to assert themselves as planting trees. The following groundcover can not be prevented from the magnificent growth of root pressure and partial shade:
The place in the immediate vicinity of the trunk is reserved for robust shade shrubs. The classic ivy (Hedera helix) is just as much a part of it as the heart-leaved foam bloom (Tiarella cordifolia) and the filigree forest lime (Luzula sylvatica).
Planting maple expertly - That's the way it works
You can plant your maple throughout the growing season. The best time is between July and September. At that time, the tree has largely completed its growth and is no longer competing vigorously for water and nutrients with its undergrowth. This is how you proceed correctly:
At the marked spots you now lift the planting holes. Meanwhile, soak the root ball of the potted plants in water. If there are no more air bubbles, pest the perennials and plant them. After you have pressed the substrate with your hands, please pour generously.
Are you not looking for gaps on the tree wheel? Then you can cut off a maximum of one third of the near-surface root strands to make room for the planting.
Tips
In the profile of the Kugelahorns can be read that the tree thrives as Herzwurzler. However, an Acer platanoides globosum neglects the deep growth of its roots when it is dosed incorrectly. Do not pour frequently and in small quantities, but pervasively twice a week and let the water hose run for 30 minutes.
