WHICH PLANTS LOVE THE SUN MORE THAN OTHERS

© Author: Nikolai CHROMOV

There are trees and shrubs that feel quite comfortable in the shade of their own kind. But there are those for whom the light and warmth of a star named the Sun is the main condition for normal growth, development and fruiting. Today we will tell you about plants for a sunny garden.

For example, for sea buckthorn, even the slightest lack of light can lead to negative consequences. Sea buckthorn should be placed in an open, very well-lit area.

It needs a lot of light and a drain, although it tolerates a small and short-term partial shade, it still feels much better in an open place.

Pear - the plant is also very capricious in relation to light, you need to plant a pear in a place devoid of shade. With a lack of light, trees develop very poorly, and yield decreases. Light regulates the character and structure of the pear crown. With its lack, the plants form a high and narrow crown, the fruits become smaller and become duller in color. If there is enough light for the plant, then the height of the plant decreases, the crown becomes wider, and the color of the leaves becomes natural.

Of the deciduous plants, which are most of all "heat-resistant", one can name riverine maple, gray alder, drooping birch, white ash, poplar, willow, and felt linden even becomes weakly winter-resistant with a lack of light.

Of the berry bushes, currants, both red and black, need light most of all. Varieties with a compact crown shape must be thinned out in the center in a timely manner; if this is not done, then the harvest will be concentrated only on the periphery, and in the center of the thickened crown not only there will be no harvest, but all fruit formations may die off. In the shade, black currants may not produce a crop at all, besides, there they are more susceptible to the likelihood of damage by pests and diseases.

Rosehips, like currants, also make great demands on light, with a lack of light, the fruits become smaller, and the plants may even die.

Chokeberry, which is gaining momentum, will not give up on the illuminated place. Of course, this unpretentious shrub can hide in the shade, but in a sunny, open place, the flowering will be brighter, and the yield will be high. Do not forget about the light inside the crown, which must be thinned out as it thickens.

Gooseberries, even to light shading, will surely respond with a decrease in yield, weaker growths and less bright foliage. It should be planted in open, sunny places, but protected from strong winds. Gooseberries are heat-resistant, it is much easier for them to endure drought than excessive waterlogging.

The early honeysuckle berry also requires a lot of light, in the shade or even in partial shade, the yield noticeably weakens, and the growths become short.

In sunny places, the flowering of blueberries is more active, and hence good harvests of large, tasty berries.

Strange as it may seem, but often growing in the shade, dogwood is also very fond of and feels great in sun-drenched spaces. In the shade of trees, it is often planted out of fear of being hit by frost, however, in the shade of the dogwood plants, they yield less yield, bloom weaker and thicken faster.

Drought-resistant and heat-resistant chaenomeles loves to swim in the sun. In the shade, the fruits become smaller, and the plants thicken quickly. The same can be said about gummy - the brother of sea buckthorn. These plants growing in the shade are more prone to freezing.

Of the ornamental shrubs, they adore open sunny places and are heat-resistant buddleya (with a lack of light, the shrub loses its shape, becoming one-sided and flat), heathers (found only in areas with an illumination of at least 50% of the full, and often in completely open places; in shaded blooming areas will be short and scarce, and the color of the flowers is pale), broom, elk (under shading conditions, the shoots are strongly curved), gorse.

And finally, conifers. Monochrome fir and tall fir develop much better in full light, but at a young age they require partial shade.

Juniper is very fond of illuminated places, especially its creeping forms, which come from places where there is simply no shadow. However, the love of light is fraught with burns, which can be prevented by placing the juniper in such a place so that the brightest sun, which can be observed from 11 to 2-3 o'clock in the afternoon, does not fall on it. Creeping forms do not need such protection.

Larch is the most demanding light of our domestic tree species. With its lack, curvature is observed, and the crown disintegrates.

Gray spruce, prickly spruce, pine - without enough light, these plants exhibit crookedness, the crown becomes loose, rare, sometimes dies off.
