Tree with red fluffy inflorescences. Plants with white flowers: from ground covers to tall trees

ABOUTthisThe properties of scumpia, known since time immemorial, are eloquently explained by its numerous names:leather mackerel, morocco wood, Venetian sumac. Mackerel bark and leaves contain tannins and have been used for leather tanning for many centuries. Medical tannin obtained from mackerel has astringent, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, and is used externally in the form of solutions and ointments, for rinsing. The leaves contain the most tannins during flowering and fruiting. Mackerel serves as a raw material for the production of a number of medical products.

Fustica or fiset tree. Cabinetmakers call the wood scumpia, like some other wood species - fustik or yellow sandalwood. Thanks to the pigment fisetin (fustin), it has an unusual yellow color of different shades - from olive and yellow-green to red-yellow. Mackerel wood is quite hard, durable, with a beautiful texture, and can be polished well. Used for carpentry crafts: women's jewelry, coasters, sculptures, knife handles, photo frames, small musical instruments.

Zheltinnik, zheltunitsa, zheltinnik, dye tanning tree, Venetian sumac, Hungarian yellow tree. In the Middle Ages, yellow paint was made from scumpia, also known as fustic. As stated in Vladimir Dahl’s dictionary, it was used to “dye yellow morocco”, as well as wool and silk. The bark can serve as a substitute for henna.

Paradise treemiracle tree, spark-tree, wig-tree, smoke-bush or smoking-tree. By After flowering, the mackerel thickets are clouded with pinkish “smoke”: the airy inflorescences grow in volume, and many protruding reddish hairs make them fluffy. To some, these magnificent plumes resemble the curls of a powdered wig, while to others they see smokers in the bushes, puffing on their pipes. When the seeds ripen, smaller “pieces of smoke” separate from the smoky “clouds” and are scattered by the wind like tumbleweeds. The sparkling tree was called the scumpia for its flaming autumn outfit. Having replaced the summer greens with crimson and gold, the skumpia puts on a truly enchanting show at the end. At this time of year, the slopes of the surrounding mountains make an unforgettable impression. The desire to prolong the charm of autumn led to the emergence of decorative forms of scumpia, in which the leaves retain an unusual color throughout the season: 'Royal Purple' - wine-red leaves, 'Purpureus' - purple leaves and inflorescences, 'Grace' - purple-red leaves , become scarlet in autumn, 'Golden'Spirit' - golden leaves in early summer later turn lemon yellow and turn yellow, orange and red in autumn. In the south, mackerel is valued as an unpretentious, drought-resistant species for securing slopes and creating forest shelter belts. Mackerel can be grown from freshly collected seeds by sowing them in the ground before winter. Sometimes they emerge only after a year. The fruits of scumpia are small dry brown drupes. Mackerel also reproduces by cuttings and layering.

Matrach is the Turkic name for skumpia. In Crimea, Mount Matrach-Oba is known, which is

translated from Tatar means “Hill overgrown with mackerel”.

PURPLE CLOTHES, CHAMPAGNE SPLASHES AND JUICY LIME.

The color of the foliage of scumpia depends on the variety and growing conditions. In the sun in the middle zone all varieties, including Golden Spirit with golden leaves, brighter colors. Purple-leaved varieties turn green when there is insufficient light. Additionally, the foliage changes color throughout the season. This is what distinguishes, for example, purple-leaved scumpia. In some varieties (Rubrifolius, Purpureus) The tops of the shoots with young leaves are colored purple, and in summer the bush partially turns green. Skumpia Velvet Cloak holds color well throughout the summer. Sometimes red-leaved varieties, although similar in many ways in summer, differ in shades of autumn color, ranging from red-orange and orange-crimson to scarlet and violet-red tones. There are varieties that, regardless of their summer color, are valued primarily for their autumn color. The green-leaved variety is recognized as one of the best among them. Flame, whose bushes burst into orange-red bonfires at the end of the season. Other varieties with green leaves often turn gold in the fall.

This variety is unusually rich in autumn shades Golden Spirit.

New variety Old Fashioned attracts attention because it ends the season in raspberry-pink tones. In addition, varietal differences in the color of foliage also appear in the spring in the color of young shoots. It is curious that in the north and in the south the color of the same variety differs. Some varieties bred in hot climates may not produce vibrant fall color in northern gardens (becoming brownish-yellow), and varieties that display rich purplish-red foliage in colder climates sometimes fade in the south.

The color palette of the inflorescences is also varied - “pink champagne” - in the skumpia "Pink Champagne" white and pink inflorescences - Golden Spirit, almost white – at ‘ Kanari". Very dense and dense inflorescences of the variety 'Daydream’ At the beginning of flowering they are creamy, towards the end they become smoky pink.

Mackerel leather- a plant of the sumac family with a wide natural range, covering the territory from Europe to China. Naturally, samples from different geographical points of this area demonstrate noticeable variability in all characteristics - size, growth form, color of foliage, inflorescences, etc. The rich gene pool makes it possible to create more and more new varieties, even within the same species, and in addition, other species are also attracted to selection, of which the most famous is s. American, or obovate. The latest innovations from Europe involve Chinese scumpia, including s. Szechuan (Dusky Maiden variety). There are cases when unusual-looking seedlings that were accidentally discovered in a nursery were given variety status. The rich variability of natural populations is a huge reserve for further breeding work. Even in your own garden you can get your own new products by propagating mackerel with seeds. The main difficulty of this process is, perhaps, the time required, and a separate area will have to be allocated to accommodate the growing seedlings, so that later from dozens you can choose what is truly interesting. (Without special treatment, the seeds germinate within a year).

In the form of a bush, the mackerel has a height of up to 3 m, in the form of a tree - up to 5 m. Varieties vary slightly in height, but in practice the height largely depends on local conditions.

BEST VARIETIES

‘ Grace ’- A hybrid obtained by crossing the ‘Velvet Cloak’ variety with the North American species Cotinus obovatus. The leaves are purple to dark green with a bluish tint in summer, turning purple, pink, red, orange and yellow in the fall. The variety is distinguished by its strong growth, larger leaves and spectacular pink inflorescences, reaching a length of 30 cm. Suitable for growing in the form of a tree. It has received particular recognition as a form valuable for creating color accents in the autumn garden.

‘ Golden Spirit' ("Ancot") - leaves from lime color in spring to golden yellow in summer, young leaves at the ends of shoots with a slight light bronze “tan”. The color does not fade in the bright sun. In partial shade, a delicate shade of lime predominates. The color of fresh spring greenery lasts a very long time in the garden, when other plants are already showing their autumn colors. Only at the very end of the season do coral, orange and golden tones appear in the Golden Spirit color palette. The variety is more demanding of moisture. Suitable for small gardens. For a luxurious composition, plant purple-leafed mackerel "Royal Purple" and the variety "Young Lady" next to it.
, famous for its lush blooms

‘ Young Lady'- a new variety of Dutch selection, notable for its abundant flowering from an early age. A hint of this feature is contained in the name itself, conjuring up the image of a “young and early” young lady. Inflorescences are pinkish. Unlike other varieties, they form on the tops of annual shoots after spring pruning. the length of annual shoots is about 60 cm. Flowering can be so abundant that the leaves are not visible, for which the people called the new product “poodle”. The leaves are green in summer, yellow in autumn. Features a compact growing habit, ideal for small gardens and containers.

"Flame"- In summer the leaves are green, in autumn they are yellow, orange and red. The variety is valued for its bright autumn outfit, but is also quite decorative in summer due to the contrast of elegant pink inflorescences on a green background of foliage. Similar to the Grace variety, it is of hybrid origin. It is distinguished by its strong growth and larger leaves - characteristics inherited from the American mackerel. Suitable for growing in tree form.

CARE

SELECTION OF LOCATION. Onrocks where mackerel thrives despite Spartan conditions, she is content with meager soil, not afraid wind, no heat, no drought. This is the key to understanding what a plant needs in culture. At the first place - good drainage and abundance sun. Stagnation of water is destructive for mackerel, and it is most difficult to preserve the shrub on acidic, swampy and heavy clay soils. However, if you prepare a place for it, taking into account all its requirements, the mackerel develops well even where there were initially no conditions for its normal growth. To do this, depending on the specific situation, it may be necessary to drain water, add soil, and carry out liming. Of course, not all natural conditions of natural habitats need to be blindly copied. Since in the homeland of the mackerel there are no such severe winters as we have, it is advisable to protect it from everything that can reduce its winter hardiness. And this is caused not only by a lack of sun (if the mackerel grows in the shade) or excessive moisture, but also by a cold wind. Consequently, bushes will overwinter more easily if the planting site is not blown by cold winds.

In the wild, Spartan conditions harden the bushes and give them the very features that delight us - expressive compact shape, short stature, bright color, including in autumn. In the garden, our care changes the appearance of the plant. Mackerel responds with gratitude to planting in fertile soil and timely watering. But at the same time, the bushes stretch upward, “fall apart,” and the colors of the autumn outfit often fade. So you should be careful when pampering the tree of paradise with heavenly conditions! And in order to depend less on variability due to the characteristics of care and place of growth, rely on cultivated varieties in which this or that color or the ability to bloom early is genetically fixed. At the same time, we must not forget that new characteristics appear in garden varieties; they partially lose some traits and acquire others. For example, the Golden Spirit variety is characterized by an unusual golden leaf color and at the same time higher requirements for uniform soil moisture, that is, there is a certain loss of drought resistance. With the abundance or deficiency of one or another limiting factor, for example, moisture or light, varietal characteristics can also manifest themselves differently in the crop. Fortunately, varieties that are notable for their vibrant fall color are quite drought-tolerant and will perform better if their moisture intake is judiciously limited. Of course, this does not apply to young seedlings. The first two years after planting, until a strong root system develops, the mackerel should be watered regularly as the soil dries out.

However, we do not always strive to reproduce the typical natural appearance of a plant. This is especially evident when mackerel is grown in the form of shoots, using severe pruning.

When pruned onto a stump, annual shoots can grow to a height of about 1 m or even higher over a season. Such plants are very similar to ornamental leafy herbaceous perennials - they do not bloom, and this is not expected from them. Trimming. The pruning method is chosen depending on how you want your bush to look, as well as the degree of its winter hardiness. You can let it grow freely, and then you will only need light sanitary pruning, in which the frozen ends of the branches are removed. If there is no room for a large bush or tree, pruning can limit its growth, forming a crown of the desired size. Moreover, you can completely rejuvenate the plant by short cutting the branches near the ground “to a stump”. After such radical pruning, the bush grows in the form of shoots, resembling a herbaceous decorative perennial. Its leaves become larger and their color brighter. Therefore, pruning to the stump is often practiced for varietal scumpias with interesting foliage colors, sacrificing flowering. For them, this measure is also justified due to the freezing of young branches. Radical pruning is used several years after planting, when the bushes have finally taken root in the garden and have grown a little. To make the leaves on growing shoots even brighter and larger, you can thin out the shoots by completely removing part of the shoots. If you value mackerel for its smoky “wig” - fluffy openwork inflorescences, choose the most winter-hardy, frost-free varieties and limit yourself to sanitary pruning. An alternative is new compact varieties that bloom profusely on young shoots in the year of pruning.

In our conditionsIt is better to prune bushes in the spring, this contributes to better wintering of plants.

WINTER RESISTANCE. The varieties differ not only in appearance, but also in their stability in culture. If the leaves on the bushes do not fall off for a long time in the fall, this indicates that the young shoots have not had time to ripen and prepare for wintering. They are the ones who freeze first. Harsh winters are better tolerated by the wild form of mackerel with green leaves. In frosty winters, varietal bushes can freeze to the level of snow cover. Winters with little snow are especially dangerous, when frosts strike before the bushes are covered with snow. Of the purple-leaved varieties, increased winter hardiness was noted in the variety 'Nordine Red'. Fortunately, even heavily frozen bushes recover relatively easily over the summer. A kind of radical natural pruning occurs. Young plants are more sensitive to unfavorable conditions, so in the first years the seedlings should be covered for the winter. Winter hardiness increases with age. The higher the snowdrifts are, the more reliably the varietal scumpia are protected from freezing. Since varieties are not equal in terms of winter hardiness, there can be both success and disappointment in selecting plants for the garden. I would like to emphasize that if the first experience did not live up to your expectations, and the purchased seedling, despite the seemingly correctly chosen place for planting, still feels depressed, this does not mean at all that it is time to pass judgment on the entire genus of scumpia. Try other options! Now there are quite a lot of interesting varieties and new ones continue to appear.

REPRODUCTION. RELIABLE METHOD. A simple and reliable way to vegetatively propagate mackerel is by rooting cuttings. Select a low-lying branch and bend it to the ground. At the point of contact with the ground, an incision is made on the bark on the underside. Then the branch is secured with a pin and sprinkled with earth. The rooted cuttings are cut off and transplanted to the garden bed for growing. You can also propagate mackerel by shoots; propagation by green cuttings is more difficult to master. It is worth noting that new varieties such as Young Lady, Smokey Joe, Golden Spirit", Old Fashioned, Dusky Maiden and others are protected by patents. Their commercial propagation by vegetative means is permitted only under a license.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE. An important advantage of mackerel is its resistance to diseases and pests, due to which the bushes, as a rule, have a magnificent healthy appearance.

SCUMPIA IN LANDSCAPE DESIGN

` Mixborder

The branches of young bushes grow vertically, and the size of adult bushes can be easily kept under control by annually pruning them to the desired height. Thanks to this, it is convenient to deal with scumpia in a mixborder when grown together with other shrubs and herbaceous ornamental perennials. It creates an excellent background for both tall and medium-sized plants, depending on the variety and pruning method. Contrasts in lightness have become a classic, when perennials with light flowers, for example, lilac onions, irises, scabioses, aconite, autumn asters and anemones or apricot eremurus and light pink foxgloves, are placed against the background of dark purple leaves of the scumpia. Of course, the contrasts in color tone with plants in yellow-orange tones are also great. These are helenium, mullein, rudbeckia, yarrow, foxglove grandiflora, solidago, kniphophia and dahlias. Favorite combinations among landscape architects include compositions of mackerel with miscanthus and other tall grasses. The panicles and ears of flowering cereals echo the smoky decoration of the inflorescences.

Mackerel is extremely effective in compositions with other woody plants, Moreover, there are huge opportunities for playing with both color and shape. Japanese maple, bladderwort, barberry, and spirea do not lag behind the mackerel in the variety of varieties with colored foliage. And the same Japanese maple, as well as sumac and elderberry next to round-leaved mackerel, are distinguished by the shape of their leaves. Mackerels and roses and rosehips complement each other perfectly.

VARIETY OF OPTIONS.

Skumpia is easy to use as a central link around which the entire composition is created. This is an excellent accent that draws attention not only to itself, but also to certain features of neighboring plants. For example, pink stripes on the back of the snow-white petals of a regale lily or dark burgundy specks on light foxglove flowers become brighter and more noticeable against the background of the purple leaves of mackerel. Royal Purple and similar varieties. In garden design, mackerel is used both in group plantings and as a single tree or bush. In the south, scumpia is suitable for free-growing hedges; in the middle zone, it can be used to create an original low curtain or create a border using short pruning. The height of these garden elements will be limited by the length of the annual growth. Compact, abundantly flowering varieties Young Lady and Smokey Joe recommended for growing in containers and decorating terraces and entrance areas.
Mackerel thickets are a characteristic feature of the mountain landscapes of Crimea. On windswept rocks, the bush presses to the ground, taking the form of an elfin tree. In sheltered valleys, where a sufficient layer of soil is formed, mackerel grows in the form of tall bushes and small trees.

During the velvet season, the smoky bush attracts attention from afar. The bushes flare up dazzlingly one after another, as if the autumn wind is fanning the fire that has been smoldering all summer under the haze of fluffy inflorescences, and spreads the flame further and further around. A truly enchanting performance unfolds on the seaside slopes.

White acacia - a beautiful tree with an openwork crown and white clusters of flowers that are fragrant during the flowering period is not a genuine acacia.

Real acacias of the genus Acacia, heat-loving plants, are found in nature more often in the savannas of Africa or Australia, and here, perhaps, only in botanical gardens. The tree that we used to call white acacia should actually be called Robinia or false acacia. It belongs to the legume family

Acacia became the mascot of Paris and the symbol of Odessa.

Interesting: In the center of Paris, under the walls of Notre Dame, among the concrete supports, a 400-year-old Robinia, grown from those seeds that were brought from the New World, is still blooming.

In Ancient Egypt, acacia was considered the “tree of life.” The Egyptians believed that the god Horus came from the acacia tree. The Bible also mentions acacia. According to the texts of the Holy Scriptures, Noah's Ark was made from acacia wood. In this regard, it is interesting to remember that ships were actually built from acacia wood in Ancient Egypt.

Acacia is considered the tree that gives birth to life. She promotes procreation, and both spouses ask her for relief from infertility and the birth of a child. Girls use acacia flowers to tell fortunes about marriage. You need to pick an acacia brush, at home, without looking, tear off part of the inflorescence and put it under your pillow and wish for a wish whether you will get married this year. In the morning, take out part of the inflorescence and count the flowers. If there are an even number of them, then the wish will come true. If not, you'll have to wait.

Yellow acacia - a well-known and very common shrub or small tree from the legume family. Under natural conditions, it is sometimes found in the form of entire thickets in the forests of Western and Eastern Siberia. There is especially a lot of it on the slopes of the Altai mountains.

Yellow acacia flowers symbolize the Sun and rebirth.

Acacia pink - the undisputed leader among its sisters in the beauty of flowers! It is also called silk and, looking at the beautiful pink-lilac delicate flowers collected in large inflorescences, you begin to understand why in all the most ancient civilizations acacia was revered as the feminine principle.

They are so tender, so beautiful and sophisticated! The graceful pink petals of acacia flowers exude a silvery glow, similar to that characteristic of expensive types of natural silk. Rich color, constant grace, tenderness - this is what excites us so much about the blooming pink acacia.

Seed propagation in the garden strawberries we are used to, unfortunately, leads to the appearance of less productive plants and weaker bushes. But another type of these sweet berries, alpine strawberries, can be successfully grown from seeds. Let's learn about the main advantages and disadvantages of this crop, consider the main varieties and features of agricultural technology. The information presented in this article will help you decide whether it is worth allocating a place for it in the berry garden.

Often, when we see a beautiful flower, we instinctively bend down to smell its fragrance. All fragrant flowers can be divided into two large groups: nocturnal (pollinated by moths) and daytime, whose pollinators are mainly bees. Both groups of plants are important for the florist and designer, because we often walk around the garden during the day and relax in our favorite corners when evening comes. We are never overwhelmed by the scent of our favorite fragrant flowers.

Many gardeners consider pumpkin to be the queen of garden beds. And not only because of its size, variety of shapes and colors, but also for its excellent taste, healthy qualities and rich harvest.

Choose farm eggs for this recipe.

One of the most amazing large-flowered tubs of Dominican Cubanola fully justifies its status as a tropical miracle. Warm-loving, slow-growing, with huge and in many ways unique bells of flowers, Cubanola is a fragrant star with a complex character. It requires special conditions in the rooms. But for those who are looking for exclusive plants for their interior, a better (and more chocolatey) candidate for the role of indoor giant cannot be found.

Chickpea curry with meat is a hearty hot dish for lunch or dinner, inspired by Indian cuisine. This curry is quick to prepare but requires some prep. The chickpeas must first be soaked in plenty of cold water for several hours, preferably overnight; the water can be changed several times. It is also better to leave the meat in the marinade overnight so that it turns out juicy and tender. Then you should boil the chickpeas until tender and then prepare the curry according to the recipe.

Rhubarb cannot be found in every garden plot. It's a pity. This plant is a storehouse of vitamins and can be widely used in cooking. What is not prepared from rhubarb: soups and cabbage soup, salads, delicious jam, kvass, compotes and juices, candied fruits and marmalade, and even wine. But that's not all! The large green or red rosette of leaves of the plant, reminiscent of burdock, acts as a beautiful background for annuals. It is not surprising that rhubarb can also be seen in flower beds.

Today, the trend is to experiment with unusual combinations and non-standard colors in the garden. For example, plants with black inflorescences have become very fashionable. All black flowers are original and specific, and it is important for them to be able to select suitable partners and location. Therefore, this article will not only introduce you to an assortment of plants with slate-black inflorescences, but will also teach you the intricacies of using such mystical plants in garden design.

3 delicious sandwiches - a cucumber sandwich, a chicken sandwich, a cabbage and meat sandwich - a great idea for a quick snack or for an outdoor picnic.

There are no onions in these sandwiches; if you wish, you can add onions marinated in balsamic vinegar to any of the sandwiches; this will not spoil the taste. Having quickly prepared snacks, all that remains is to pack a picnic basket and head to the nearest green lawn.

Depending on the varietal group, the age of seedlings suitable for planting in open ground is: for early tomatoes - 45-50 days, average ripening periods - 55-60 and late ones - at least 70 days. When planting tomato seedlings at a younger age, the period of its adaptation to new conditions is significantly extended. But success in obtaining a high-quality tomato harvest also depends on carefully following the basic rules for planting seedlings in open ground.

Unpretentious “background” plants of sansevieria do not seem boring to those who value minimalism. They are better suited than other indoor decorative foliage stars for collections that require minimal care. Stable decorativeness and extreme hardiness in only one species of sansevieria are also combined with compactness and very rapid growth - rosette sansevieria Hana. The squat rosettes of their tough leaves create striking clusters and patterns.

One of the brightest months of the garden calendar pleasantly surprises with the balanced distribution of favorable and unfavorable days for working with plants according to the lunar calendar. Vegetable gardening in June can be done throughout the entire month, while the unfavorable periods are very short and still allow you to do useful work. There will be optimal days for sowing and planting, for pruning, for a pond, and even for construction work.

Meat with mushrooms in a frying pan is an inexpensive hot dish that is suitable for a regular lunch and for a holiday menu. Pork will cook quickly, veal and chicken too, so this is the preferred meat for the recipe. Mushrooms - fresh champignons, in my opinion, are the best choice for homemade stew. Forest gold - boletus mushrooms, boletus and other delicacies is best prepared for the winter. Boiled rice or mashed potatoes are ideal as a side dish.

I love ornamental shrubs, especially unpretentious ones and with interesting, non-trivial foliage colors. I have various Japanese spirea, Thunberg barberries, black elderberry... And there is one special shrub, which I will talk about in this article - viburnum leaf. To fulfill my dream of a low-maintenance garden, it is perhaps ideal. At the same time, it is capable of greatly diversifying the picture in the garden, from spring to autumn.

Beautifully flowering trees undoubtedly cause indescribable delight. If for local residents this is a completely ordinary and ordinary phenomenon, not counting the Japanese, who have a tradition of celebrating the holiday of hamami - admiring the flowering trees, then for visitors and residents of central Europe, seeing a flowering tree is a storm of emotions and great joy. Today you can see 20 of the most beautifully flowering trees on our planet that will leave you in awe.

1. Peltoforum winged - Caesalpinia rusty. Amazingly beautiful tree! This is a real yellow firework, especially at the height of summer, when Peltoforum alata is blooming all around. Indescribable beauty! During flowering, this tree looks incredibly impressive. Bright yellow flowers literally glow against the background of lacy green foliage. It blooms not with individual flowers, but with whole clusters.

A tall semi-evergreen tree with graceful lacy leaves, similar to mimosa leaves, but darker and leatherier. Bright yellow flowers are collected in vertical lush inflorescences, reminiscent of chestnut “candles”. They remind me of another amazing shrub.

2. Brachychiton maplefolia, representatives of the genus are evergreen branched trees, growing up to 35 meters in height and up to 12 in width. Bright green leaves reach 20 centimeters in length. The flowers are cup-shaped, reddish in color, reach 2 centimeters in diameter and are collected in large panicle-shaped shields. Flowering period is summer. Brachychitons are large trees with a characteristic thickening on the trunk. In the thickened part of the trunk, plants accumulate a supply of nutrients, which can be used up during an unfavorable period. Thanks to their thickening, brachychitons are called bottle trees.

3. According to scientific - Cassia tubularis- a plant from the legume family. This tree is called - tree of golden rain. In spring and early summer, huge clusters of fragrant, dazzling yellow flowers appear on the tree. The flower of this tree is the national symbol of Thailand.

4. Blooms Khorizia. After leaf fall, beautiful red-pink flowers appear on the tree, which are replaced by fruits.

5. Blooms Chestnut

6. Spathodea, tulip tree! - This is a stunning and unique plant that can decorate any garden. The peculiarity of this plant is that it can grow in almost any conditions, withstanding temperatures down to minus 30 degrees. Its lifespan can reach five hundred years, and its annual growth is one meter. During flowering, fantastically beautiful flowers appear on the tree, carved as if in a painted shape. Large flowers, about seven centimeters in size, look stunning on a thin and long green stem, scattered throughout the entire trunk of the plant.

7. Hawthorn monopistillate “Punicea”

Flowering lasts about 2 (sometimes up to 3-4) months in spring and summer. Blooms most profusely in late spring. Flowering trees look especially impressive in arid climates in the spring, when, with almost complete absence of leaves, the crown is covered with thousands of bright red flowers, turning, as it were, into a flaming cloud, clearly visible from afar.

9. Tree - banyan. Aerial roots are pruned, otherwise, when they reach the ground, they turn into new trunks.

10. Melia Azedarach blooms. This deciduous tree 15-18 m tall with a wide spreading crown is called Melia Azedarach. The fruits are juicy, light yellow, spherical, and remain on the tree all winter.

The beauty of this tree is given by bright red stamens collected in dense cylindrical inflorescences.

Sycamore flowers are its “fruits”. They hang in clusters on the powerful trunk and long, thick branches of this majestic tree. Sycamore is a tree that can grow from 18 to 40 meters and can live between 600 and 1200 years. The period of most active flowering and fruiting occurs in December-July, but in nature, sycamore bears fruit all year round. Fruits appear at the base of the leaves or along the stems and are collected in clusters. The fruits are very similar to figs, but they are not as sweet and smaller. Each fruit grows from 2 to 3 cm in diameter and changes color as it ripens from green-yellow to red or yellow.

13. Eucalyptus- an evergreen tree that reaches a height of up to 50 or 70 meters. The bark of its trunk and branches is whitish-gray in color and quite smooth. The flowers of eucalyptus are not like the flowers of other plants; flower buds 30 mm long and 20 mm wide are located in the axils of the leaves. They are bisexual and sit on very short legs. Flowering duration is up to six weeks or more.

Erythrines are trees reaching 30 m in height. There are about 130 species in the genus, native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The generic name refers to the red color of the flowers of some species - red). Not all erythrin species have red flowers. In Erythrina Hawaiian they can be orange, yellow, green, salmon and white. Seeds are beans collected in pods containing one or more seeds. Due to the fact that the seeds can be transported over long distances by sea, they are also called “sea beans”.

15. Calliandra suriname! Highly decorative, graceful, beautifully and abundantly flowering, quite unpretentious - simply an amazing plant. This is only a small fraction of beautifully flowering trees, one can only be amazed at the imagination of nature, many do not even imagine that there is one that blooms with flowers similar to lilies of the valley, or one that blooms with blue bells...
