Wild Wine - When is the Best Planting Time?
Large, bare areas such as bare walls or architectural dubiousness (for example, a windshed shed) are predestined for planting and thus greening through the wild vine, which is also known as the virgin ray. Although the vigorous growth is easy to maintain, you should consider a few points during planting - the more beautiful the wild wine grows and will delight you with its autumnal splendor of color.
Autumn or spring?
Basically, containerware can be planted throughout the growing season, although very hot and dry phases are less recommended - both the heat and the drought make it difficult for the plant to form strong roots at its new location. Thus, also for the wild wine either the spring or the fall is given as an ideal planting time. Both seasons have their advantages and disadvantages in this regard.
Advantages and disadvantages of planting in spring
Planting in spring offers the advantage that the young wild wine can take root until the onset of winter and can also grow vigorously. In the cold season, the plant is then consolidated enough to survive frost and other winter weather conditions healthy. However, a spring planting should be made only after the Eisheiligen - ergo mid-to late May at the earliest - so that the still sensitive young plant does not freeze in any late frosts.
Advantages and disadvantages of planting in autumn
Alternatively, of course, a planting in the fall is possible, this should be done no later than mid to late September - better still earlier. The virgin beech should have enough time to develop roots until the onset of winter and grow at their new location. In the autumn planted specimens should be protected if possible with brushwood, leaves or straw from the cold.
Tips
Be sure to thoroughly prepare the soil before planting and enrich with compost, horn shavings or similar.
