Every owner of a summer cottage dreams that it will quickly turn into a blooming oasis. In order not to wait years for trees and shrubs to grow, you can try growing the plants listed below.
White willow
Willow is one of the fastest growing trees in central Russia. In addition to its adaptive properties to the Russian climate, it provides dense shade and coolness even in the hottest summer weather. True, she does not like severe drought - on dry days in the middle of summer, it is recommended to pour 20-50 buckets of water under the roots.
The plant is a time-tested honey plant. Willow leaves and bark are used as medicines.
Birch
Botanists identify many types of birch trees, all of which grow at record speed. Warty and weeping birch trees take root better in temperate climates.
Birch trees look very impressive against the backdrop of a green garden; in addition, even a completely dark area will be lightened by the white bark of the trees. Birch honey is considered one of the most delicious, and not a single trip to the bathhouse is complete without birch brooms.
Euonymus
Such a dense but compact bush is suitable for small areas where there is no room to plant trees in rows. In addition, living fences are often made from euonymus - it grows quickly and tolerates trimming well.
This shrub grows best in a semi-dark place with well-moistened turfy soil.In spring, fertilizing with mineral fertilizers may be required.
Elder
A large shrub grows in just a couple of years, and throughout the year it pleases the owner’s eye with its characteristic appearance. Elderberry has long been revered by people as a remedy for joint pain and kidney stones. It blooms profusely in spring and forms a dense crown in summer, which can be pruned to shape. In autumn, red or black fruits are formed. In winter, if the plant is trimmed correctly, it weaves into an unusual dense ball.
Only a couple of shoots are left on the seedling for planting. In just three years, if the bush is left undisturbed, it can reach a height of 2 meters. This eloquently demonstrates the speed of growth.
Viburnum common
An original Russian plant that easily survives both harsh winters and dry summers. The plant thrives in any weather and on any soil and grows surprisingly quickly. In just 10 years, it can double in height from its original height. In addition, the shrub is loved by beekeepers as a good honey plant, and the fruits of viburnum have long been used as a medicinal diuretic.
Of course, it does not boast the beauty of the acacia or the tropical appearance of the cypress, but it will grow in any soil, in the shade or in the sun, surrounded by trees or in bare ground. Such unpretentiousness has won the love of gardeners and summer residents.
Thus, there is a huge variety of fast-growing plants that can be used to green up your summer cottage in a short time.It is enough to select suitable specimens that will grow in such conditions, and within a few years, turn a wild field into a blooming oasis.
