Newly Planted Exotic Palms in Abrau-Dyurso Require Care and Protection
Abrau-Dyurso, Krasnodar, is now home to fifteen Trachycarpus fortunei palms, recently planted in an alley near a picturesque lake. These exotic palms, part of a landscaping effort, form a "bouquet composition" that attracts both local residents and guests.
However, these palms are still in their early stages of growth. The Ministry of Resorts and Tourism of Krasnodar Krai has reported their planting, and they have asked everyone to treat these young plants with care.
Current Care and Protection Measures
The palms' successful establishment depends on thoughtful care. Early-stage watering and protection measures are crucial to help the roots settle. The soil conditions and drainage are being closely monitored to avoid waterlogging or drought stress.
Future Care Recommendations
- Watering: Maintain consistent watering, especially during dry spells and the first two growing seasons. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
- Fertilization: Use a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for palms, applied in early spring and mid-summer.
- Protection from Cold: While Trachycarpus fortunei is cold-hardy, young palms may need frost protection during severe freezes. Use frost cloths or wind barriers if temperatures drop significantly.
- Pruning: Remove dead or damaged fronds to encourage healthy growth but avoid over-pruning, which stresses the plant.
- Pest and Disease Monitoring: Regularly check for common pests (e.g., scale insects) and fungal diseases; treat promptly if detected.
Winter Protection Measures
Specialists have warned that additional protection will be needed for the palms during the winter period to prevent leaf damage. Work will be carried out to ensure additional protection for the plants using polycarbonate. The palms' vulnerability to damage during the winter season necessitates these measures for their proper growth and survival.
The location where the palms were planted has been altered to include a white stone path, making them accessible to visitors for photography. The Ministry of Resorts and Tourism of Krasnodar Krai encourages everyone to enjoy these beautiful additions to Abrau-Dyurso's landscape while also respecting their ongoing care needs.
The newly planted exotic palms in Abrau-Dyurso have become an integral part of the home-and-garden landscape, enhancing its appeal with their exotic charm. To ensure their longevity and successful growth, implementing careful lifestyle practices such as proper watering, mulching, and monitoring for pests and diseases is essential.
