Buckeye Tree Container Growing Tips

Buckeye puu on lihtsalt kasvanud puu, mis on populaarne täiskasvanutele ja lastele. Buckeye puud on kõige kuulsam nende suurte ja pruuniste seemnete puhul, mis sisalduvad seemendusjaamades, mis on suuremad kui golfipallid. Need seemnepargid on ka kihilised ja kõvad, kuid lastele pakutakse sügisel kuude jooksul innukalt pähkleid.

Need seemnepargid on ka kihilised ja kõvad, kuid lastele pakutakse sügisel kuude jooksul innukalt pähkleid.

Täiskasvanud eelistavad ka buckeye puu tänu oma atraktiivsele lehele ja kõrgusele: buckeye puu võib kasvada rohkem kui 80 jalga ja seetõttu on seda sageli kasutatud aktsentpuu või taust puu servas maastik.

Kasvavad Buckeye puud konteinerites

Buckeye puu ei ole tõesti sobiv konteinerites kasvatamiseks, kuna sellel on keerulised juurtesüsteemid ja see on raske puu. Oma elu esimestel aastatel võib buckeye puu kasvatada konteinerivannides terrassikülgede või talveaedades, enne kui see kasvab suurtes pinnasesse.

Seemikuid saab istutada 5-galloni mahutis. Enne puude istutamist veenduge, et mahuti põhjas on palju tühjendusavaid. Enne puu istutamist peab pinnas olema lahti ja eelistatavalt segama komposti või multšiga. Taimesta seeme umbes 3 tolli sügavusele ja muljuda maapind hoolikalt.

Noored buckeye puud tuleb kasvatada suurtes, tugevates mahutites, kuna puul on suured kerroosad, mille kasvatamiseks on vaja palju ruumi. Kui puu näib vaevu või on muul probleeme kasvanud, siis peate eemaldama konteineri buckeye puu ja kontrollima haiguste juurutamist või nõuetekohase loomise puudumist.

Vesi regulaarselt buckeye puukonteinerit ja varustatakse sageli väetisega. Ärge unustage, et mulda ei pruugi kasvada juurtest välja, mistõttu on teie ülesandeks pakkuda toitu ja vett bukakee puu jaoks anumas.

Võib tulla aeg, mil buckeye puu hakkab konteinerist juurest välja kasvama kas allapoole drenaažiavade kaudu või mullast ülespoole. Siinkohal on aeg hakata otsima koha maapinnale, et panna puukoort puu; see võib konteineri kahjustada, kui see jääb sellisest pottist välja kasvama. Teised märgid võivad olla konteinerites suured pragud või paksused. See on murettekitav, sest see võib takistada buckeye puu säilitamist veega.

Buckeye puu Bonsai

Kuigi on öeldud, et buckeye puu vajab palju kasvupinda, saab seda harida bonsai, piirates seda kasvu. Kui teil on juba pikk buckeye puu, mis tundub olevat võimalik muuta bonsaiks, alustage suurte ja muutke väikeseks, koputades puurijuure mitme kuu jooksul. Prune jõuliselt ja julgustama puu olema väiksem. See on üks võimalus hoida buckeye puu konteineris.

FAQ - 💬

❓ Where is the best place to plant a buckeye tree?

👉 You can plant buckeyes in full sun, but since they are adapted to live in forest understory, Smith recommends giving them partial shade. Be aware that buckeyes can reach 40 to 60 feet in height, though, so you won't want them in your flowerbed.

❓ How do you take care of a buckeye tree?

👉 Water deeply and in the absence of rain, following up with weekly waterings until the tree is established and beginning to grow. A 2 to 3 inch (5-7.5 cm.) layer of mulch around the tree will help keep the soil evenly moist. Pull the mulch back a few inches (5 cm.)

❓ How long does it take to grow a buckeye tree?

👉 Flowering and fruiting may take up to ten years. The tree prefers full sun for best development and will do fine in heavy clay soils, not quite as well in sandy soil. The root system is sparsely branched and needs deep soil with some room to spread.

❓ Do buckeyes need to be cold stratified?

👉 Wrap the seeds in slightly moist peat moss, place them in a plastic bag and leave them in the refrigerator for three to four months. This period of cold temperatures mimics what the seeds experience in nature and “tricks” them into breaking dormancy. California buckeye seeds do not require cold stratification.

❓ Are buckeyes easy to grow?

👉 Planting a red buckeye tree is relatively easy. The trees can be grown very successfully from seed and should bloom within three years. Red buckeye tree growth is best in rich soil that is well drained but moist. The trees do not handle drought well.

❓ How do you keep buckeyes from rotting?

👉

  1. Gather the mature nuts from the ground and remove the outer husks.
  2. Line the cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with newspaper.
  3. Drill a hole in each buckeye and place them on the cookie sheet.

❓ How much water does a buckeye tree need?

👉 Water once a week for the first 8 – 12 weeks (if sufficient rain is not present), with a second watering during hot, dry summer months if necessary. The larger the tree or shrub that is planted, the more water it will require to soak into the root ball and surrounding soil.

❓ Can you start a buckeye tree from a buckeye?

👉 You can grow your very own Ohio Buckeye tree from the “eye of the buck” itself! Right now, the branches of most Buckeye trees are laden with seeds or nuts encased inside a greenish-gold, leathery husk.

❓ Are buckeyes poisonous to dogs?

👉 Toxicity to pets The buckeye (Aesculus spp.), commonly called the Horse Chestnut, contains a variety of toxins in their leaves and seeds. Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation (including drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea).

❓ Do squirrels eat buckeyes?

👉 Squirrels are said to be the only animal to eat buckeyes without ill effect. All parts of the tree are toxic — leaves, bark and nuts — because of compounds that cause muscle weakness, paralysis, intestinal distress and vomiting.

❓ When can I transplant a buckeye tree?

👉 Keep in mind that Buckeye trees prefer partially shaded conditions. You can transplant your seedling to a sunnier location the first spring after germination. Be sure to do so before it leafs out, and don't wait more than two years to transplant.

❓ How do you transplant a buckeye tree from a nursery?

👉 Transplanting Nursery Buckeye Trees. Plant nursery-grown buckeye trees in early spring after the last frost. Dig a planting hole for your buckeye tree that is the same depth and width as the container or root ball. Remove the buckeye’s roots from the container or burlap and loosen them gently.

❓ How long does it take a buckeye tree to grow?

👉 Of the about six kinds of buckeye trees native to North America, half grow into large trees that can reach more than 60 feet tall, and don't make good long-term container plants. These buckeye seedlings should go from pots into the ground after two to three years.

❓ Can you grow a red buckeye tree in Florida?

👉 I attempted to grow the red buckeye (Aesculus pavia), a small understory tree native to the southeast US, using several buckeyes I obtained from a tree I transplanted into my parents’ back yard about 25 years ago. I planted them in the sandy soil of Jacksonville, Florida, and none of them came up.

❓ What does a buckeye tree look like?

👉 The plant is summer deciduous, growing into a large shrub or small tree. Red buckeye (Aesculus pavia) has showy red spring flowers and grows in USDA zones 6 through 9a. It reaches 15 to 20 feet tall. Painted buckeye (Aesculus sylvatica) bears variously colored spring flowers in shades of pink, yellow and green.
