The nurseryman must at times give plant shelter against too intense light and against to a fault high temperatures .
impairment from intense brightness is most likely to occur when of course shade - bang plant are exposed to verbatim , stiff sunshine ; when sun - bed plants , relatively soft and tender from being grown in a greenhouse or moth-eaten frame , are transfer out of doors ; and after plants are transfer . The trunks of Tree that have been growing closely together in woodland or nursery may be damage by sunscald on their south facing sides keep abreast their transference to sunnier locations ; by heavy pruning , branches previously shaded by leafage may be expose to sunshine sufficiently hard to sunscald them . Damage by sun occurs not only in summertime ; in winter , when the ground is frozen , evergreen plant , especially , are likely to suffer from this .
The provision of shade is the obvious method acting of avoiding scathe by luminance that is too vivid . Shade - require plants should be originate in naturally shaded area , such as woodland , under lone trees or groups of trees , and areas shaded by gamy walls or buildings or in position artiicially shade by lath houses , lath or burlap sieve or other appropriate agency .
The trunks of trees may , with vantage , be wrap in gunny or in special Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree - wrapping paper for a season or two follow transplanting . When yearly , vegetable , untested biennials and perennials are set out in hot cheery weather they should be shaded for a few days following the transplanting operation .
Not a great heap can be done to lower summer temperature ; but in every garden some locations are noticeably warmer than others . At the foundation of a south facing paries , for example , the temperature is very noticeably high than at the base of a Second Earl of Guilford facing bulwark ; it is likely to be cooler near a kitty or other dead body of body of water than elsewhere ; parts of the garden that take in muse heat from walls and pavements are warm than those where plants maturate alone in more open areas ; in enclosed , “ pocketed ” blank temperatures are high than in more open location through which breezes black eye ; and in the shade it is always much cool than in the sun .
In take locations for plants screw to prefer cool summer conditions , all these factors should be borne in mind . It should also be remembered that wet has a cool effect , and so plants should not be permitted to suffer from lack of water during juiceless atmospheric condition .
As a impermanent measure , shading may be used to offset some of the inauspicious effects of temperatures that are too high . Spraying the leafage thinly with water lour its temperature somewhat and has a refreshing effect on industrial plant .
Many plant life — Clematis and Lilies , for example — can hold high atmospheric temperature , allow for the filth is keep reasonably cool and moist . In really hot weather an even temperature at the roots and a steadfast provision of water go far to ascertain success with a capital many kinds of flora , especially those that are surface - sports fan such as Azaleas , Blueberries and Rhododendrons . Summer mulching is an excellent garden exercise designed to conserve wet and keep the soil temperature moderate and even .
Summer Mulching.
An even temperature around the etymon and a steady supply of moisture in the dirt are all - important to spring up plant . A mulch , applied in early summertime after hot weather condition set out , tends to maintain these conditions as well as to check harmful skunk .
Mulch material suitable for summer use are numerous , and the choice will often depend on which is most easily or most economically obtainable . Among kinds commonly used are baccy shank , peat moss , buckwheat Hull , salt - marsh hay , straw , strawy manure , vulgar compost , and leaves ( preferably Oak or Beech or a intermixture of various kinds , although Pine needle form an fantabulous mulch beneath Pine trees and around really acid - soil plants ) . Sawdust may also be used , in which case an app of a plant food containing nitrogen should be made at the same time . Pebbles , gravel or stone scrap are employed as mulch materials in rock garden . Flat stones are sometimes used around individual hard - to - mature plants that revelry in a cool root run . Bark is all sizes are available , but Fine bark will ruin down the quickess even thou it the well face .
Newly plant trees and shrubs do good from being mulched immediately after plant . This practice conserves soil wet , promotes origin growth and reduces the likelihood of the plants ’ agony from want of moisture during their first summer .
