Bubble hedge: photo in the landscape design of the suburban area

The shrub owes its name to the characteristic shape of the fruit.

Pros and cons of bladder hedge

The popularity of culture in decorative design is explained by the specific features of the plant. Molded and freely growing types of hedges of various heights around the perimeter of the plot and inside the garden are created from the bladder. The crown quickly recovers after pruning, the bushiness of low-growing varieties is stimulated along the entire length of the shoots, the density of the bush is uniform along the entire length.

The bladder requires little maintenance, making it ideal for beginners

Breeders of the countries of Europe and Russia have bred bushes with yellow and red shades of leaves. Fruits of a spherical shape of a white or pinkish hue look very decorative. The culture has good growth rates, during the season the shoots grow up to 25 cm. The bush recovers quickly after pruning. Plants are not demanding on the composition of the soil, watering, feeding. Many varieties are resistant to scab, powdery mildew, and are not attacked by pests. The vesicle has good adaptability to various climatic conditions.

The leaves stay on the branches until winter and decorate the plant, even if it is dusted with snow.

There are few shortcomings, the bush does not grow well on alkaline soils, flooded areas. Growing conditions depend on the variety of the bush. Tall bushes eventually become bare in the lower part, the trunk becomes visible.

How to propagate and plant a vesicle in a summer cottage

With the difference in the description of the bladder shrub in the photo, it can be seen that it is propagated and grown in the same way. To form hedges, the plant is propagated in two ways by layering and cuttings.

Layers are formed by folding back the lower whitewash, sprinkling them with earth. When shoots appear from the mound, the young seedling is separated from the mother bush, transferred to a permanent place. Young cut shoots take root well in moist soil. Before planting, all leaves are removed from the stem, except for the apical ones, planted in a hole up to 15 cm deep, covered with nutritious soil, watered. For 2 weeks while the roots are forming, it is important to maintain constant moisture.

Propagation of the vesicle by layering

For cuttings, 2-year branches are selected, the shoot is cut into fragments so that each has 2 or 3 buds. Until the roots form, the cuttings are kept in a solution of a growth stimulator or immediately buried in the soil layer, creating tropical conditions: high humidity and temperatures up to + 27 ° C.

The seedlings are transferred to a permanent place in early spring. You can plant hedge bushes in trenches up to 50 cm deep in 40-60 cm increments, depending on the diameter of the crown. With a two-row dense planting, an inter-row distance of 60 cm to a meter is observed. The "checkerboard" pattern is formed, maintaining an interval of 40-60 cm in each row.

After planting, the bushes of the bladder should be watered abundantly with water, and then the trunk circle should be mulched

Drainage is laid at the bottom of the trench, nutritious soil is prepared by mixing the soil with mineral complex fertilizers. With top dressing, plantings take root faster, give a good increase in the first year. The soil of the plants is crushed so that there are no voids at the roots.

Cutting a hedge from a bladder - photo examples

Shearing and pruning is done after 4 years of growth. At one time, remove up to 20% of the green mass. Lateral branches are cut 10-15 cm. Shoots, if necessary, are shortened up to 5 times per season. From a low-growing vesicle, hedges of rectangular cross-section or with a rounded top are formed. A clipped hedge forms a powerful root system.

The tall bush can be used as a tapeworm that protects the resting corner from the scorching sun

Stepped hedges form different heights, the minimum is 15 cm. You can safely cut the young growth under the stump in early spring. New shoots grow during the season. The next formative pruning on such shrubs is carried out in a year.

Live walls and borders of various heights and shapes can be created from the bladder

Rows of vesicles with a spherical crown shape

It is possible to form fantasy shapes from the vesicle, alternate straight spans with semicircular columns, create rows of balls of different diameters in parquet lawns. The rows of columns look beautiful, it is possible to pass between the bushes.
