Autumn garden outfit: trees and shrubs with red foliage. Unpretentious trees and shrubs with beautiful autumn foliage Autumn changes with trees and shrubs, the causes of these phenomena

Let's remember

1. What deciduous trees and shrubs have you seen in nature? Which ones are in autumn dress do you find the most beautiful?
2. Has it changed appearance pines, firs?

In autumn, most deciduous trees and shrubs, the color of the leaves changes. These plants are amazingly beautiful in autumn attire!

The change in color of the leaves is followed by leaf fall. It has for plants very great importance. Imagine that the leaves of be fall off, but remain on a tree or shrub. In winter, snow will fall on them, and even the thickest branches can break under its weight. The plant will be severely damaged or even die. This means that leaf fall is the preparation of the plant for the harsh season - for winter.

Almost all coniferous plants unlike deciduous ones, they remain as green in autumn as they are in summer. They do not shed their needles for the winter. This is coniferous trees- pine and spruce, as well as coniferous shrub- juniper.

But do not think that their needles do not fall off at all. They fall gradually throughout the year. For example, in a pine tree, the needles stay on the branches for 2-3 years, and in spruce - for 5-7 years. It is easy to see that they really fall off. Look under your feet in a pine or spruce forest and you will see that everything is strewn with dead needles.

• Consider the drawing. Compare the autumn color of the leaves of different plants.

Let's listen to the fall

Imagine that we stopped in a clearing among oaks and birches and for a long time, quietly, attentively listening to the autumn forest... Rustle all around, sometimes so loud that it seems - someone is walking. And it's big falling oak leaves. You can hear how they hit the branches, how they land on the same noisy leaves. After all, the whole earth is already covered with a yellow-brown crispy carpet. The birch leaves fall almost silently... But suddenly - a gust of wind. And at once many, many leaves break from the trees. And those that are still holding on, shudder. And a loud wave of dry rustle rolls over the branches... It is very, very interesting not only to watch, but also to listen to the fall of the leaves!

Let's open the atlas-determinant

Identify trees and shrubs by fruits.

Let's discuss

• In the book "The Giant in the Clearing" we read the fairy tale "Conversation in the Forest". How many of you had to observe the cases that hazel and aspen told about? What do you think of it? Do you always take good care of your plants?

Let's think!

• Why do the branches of coniferous trees not break even after heavy snowfalls in winter?

Let's check ourselves

1. What changes occur in autumn in the life of deciduous trees and shrubs?
2. What do conifers look like in autumn?

Let's draw a conclusion

Leaf color change and leaf fall are the main autumn phenomena in the life of trees and shrubs. And also the main source of the unique beauty of this time of year.

Among the numerous group of euonymus ( Euonymus) for the design of any garden there is a suitable representative. In the old days, spindles were turned from the wood of the euonymus. The memory of this was preserved in his German title: "spindle bush".

Today, the euonymus, like ivy, climbs the walls, kindles autumn bonfires in the garden, keeps company with colorful annuals and perennials in the flower beds.

As ground cover plants numerous varieties are often used in country landscape design Fortune's euonymus. For one square meter It is recommended to plant about 5 plants. Among the favorites are the yellow-and-white variety "Emerald'n Gold""and white-and-white" Emerald Gaiety". Both varieties can be grown in the form standard tree. Since they tolerate pruning well, bushes can always be given a beautiful shape.

Most euonymus love light partial shade.

Variegated varieties need more sun than green ones. But here with the variety blonde"be careful: under the scorching rays of the sun, it can simply burn out, but in a light shade it feels great. Yellow-variegated varieties spread evergreen carpets under the trees.

Fortune's Euonymus able to grow on the wall to a height of two to three meters. Just be aware that clinging roots slip off concrete walls, so you need to take care of the supports in advance. Evergreen euonymus is often used in landscape design to mask a wire mesh fence.

Euonymus can also decorate a balcony or terrace. In pots and tubs, these undemanding plants feel great. For small troughs, a short-haired one is recommended evergreen variety Minimus.

From England, a "mixed rabatka" came to us, along the edges of which a creeping euonymus 30-40 cm high grows. Its taller relatives are ideal for the center of the flower bed.

The long shoots of the creeping euonymus sometimes "creep" exactly where we would like. Meanwhile, it is very easy to give them the right direction. Flexible branches are pinned to the ground and left with mother plant before rooting. Rooted layers can then be separated and transplanted to another place.

Euonymus in autumn is one of the most beautiful plants

Euonymus flat-petiolate and b. winged should be in every garden, if only for their amazing fall color. Even in a light shade under the trees, the winged euonymus turns into a delicate lilac-pink color.

Pink fruits, ripening, open, and bright orange-red seeds peek out of them. The spectacle is very spectacular, but we must not forget that they, like all other parts of the plant, are poisonous. Fruit b. flat-bottomed especially decorative. This sprawling bush looks spectacular and as a tapeworm in open ground, and in a tub. Already in September, its leaves acquire a beautiful autumn color.

In a natural style garden, for example for a "wild" hedge, it is better to plant native species of euonymus. By the way, they set a rich table for birds.

Place in landscape design

• Climbing Fortune's euonymus ideal for curly haircuts. Shoots are pruned before the leaves bloom or at the end of June.
• Fire and flames are flat-petiolate euonymus. His color palette ranges from yellow to carmine red.
• "Emerald'n Gold" like all sorts b. fortune, grows in width twice as much as in height.
• The creeping euonymus feels equally good both in the shade and in the sun.
• Low-growing stlanets like variegated Emerald Gaiety can grow up the wall like ivy. Leaves for winter Emerald Gaiety change their color to yellow-pink-red.
• B. winged (Euonymus alatus) it is brightly colored, but there are few fruits on it. His ideal partner- strewn with apples decorative apple tree "Butterball". B. winged is very beautiful in winter. Plant it closer to the pathsso that its decorative bark with cork ridges is visible.

They also had domestic animals: a calf, a ram, a horse, hounds. And when the boy Perseus began to play the flute, all the animals from the nearby forest came to listen to him: a cunning fox, and a lynx, and a lion, and a she-bear with a cub. Fish swam to the shore, a whale and a dolphin. Even the fabulous unicorn and dragon listened to the gentle melody. But one autumn, a volcanic eruption began near the town.

Autumn is not the most fun time of the year. Warm days are leaving, favorite flowers are fading, the garden is losing color more and more and the gloomy rainy season is approaching. To smooth out the sadness from the approaching sad times, add to the garden autumn plants with brightly colored leaves. Vibrant reds, purples and orange colors create good mood and decorate your garden.

bright autumn shrubs

Not a single garden can do without shrubs, with their help you can create landscape compositions and living fences. A variety of flowers will make the garden beautiful not only in summer, but also with the onset of cold weather. Here are some of them.

Euonymus winged

This shrub reaches a height of 1.5 meters, and a diameter of 1.5 meters. Its flowering in early summer is rather modest, but the bright red-lilac color of the leaves in autumn is simply mesmerizing. He treats the haircut very positively, responding to it with the formation of a dense crown of a given shape. The winged euonymus does not like dry soil and prefers sunny places. Be careful, the sap of the plant is poisonous, use gloves when pruning.

Aronia chokeberry

Commonly called chokeberry. In addition to the fact that this shrub is autumn period decorate your garden with red and orange hues, aronia berries are very useful and can be used in the preparation of compotes, tinctures and other goodies. Rowan chokeberry grows up to 2 - 3 meters high, has a rather sprawling shape. Will bloom in spring with beautiful and fragrant corymbose inflorescences white color. Aronia is quite unpretentious and grows well in middle lane Russia. The crown of the shrub can be formed.

Irga

It's pretty tall shrub, 3-4 meters tall, sometimes it can look more like a tree than a bush. Absolutely unpretentious plant, able to grow on any soil and does not require special care. By planting an irgu in your garden, you will immediately receive several advantages: firstly, it is a lush spring bloom second, the sweet berries that ripen in early summer, and third, the beautiful red and deep red leaves in autumn.

Ginnala Maple

Another bright and tall autumn shrub. Its height is from 3 to 5 meters. It can be single-stemmed with a wide crown or multi-stemmed with a tent-shaped crown. This plant will become a long-liver in your garden, because its life expectancy is up to 250 years! The ginnal maple is beautiful in the spring when it blooms, in the summer thanks to its mosaic leaves, and in the fall it turns into a fiery red fountain. Maple winters well in our conditions, and frozen shoots in spring tolerate pruning well. The main thing is to choose sunny places for him, otherwise in the shade he may lose his decorative qualities.

Barberry Thunberg

The varieties of this barberry differ in the color of the leaves, they can be green, purple or yellow, with a border or veins. And also the Thunberg barberry, depending on the variety, can be from 50 cm to 2-3 meters high. By autumn, the foliage turns orange or bright red. Barberry is unpretentious to the soil and lends itself to formation without problems. Some varieties tolerate shade well without losing their varietal qualities. This shrub will decorate your garden in summer and autumn, thanks to the amazing color of the leaves. Pay attention to varieties:

Frosted purple leaves look very beautiful in an empty garden. Its flowering in spring is also magnificent, dense corymbose inflorescences of white color fall asleep with a bush with a waterfall. To preserve the color of the leaves, it is better to plant it on sunny place. The crown lends itself well to shaping: if you want to give it spherical shape, this can be done with regular pruning.

Here are some of the most prominent representatives autumn shrubs that will brighten up your garden at this slightly sad time of the year. All of them will not require you complex care, but will help to compose very interesting compositions in your garden along with other plants.

House project "Time to create gardens"

Between classes I had a "window". The phone was dead, so from entertainment I came up with only a walk in the botanical garden on the campus of the university. Some types of plants were familiar to me, but most of the signs helped me to recognize them.

Botanical Garden

Ornamental plants, deciduous and coniferous trees, shrubs grow here, which not only decorate the campus, but are also used for scientific and partly educational purposes. I remember how at the bottom open doors told that total number about 20 thousand specimens of plants, of which more than 1300 are trees and shrubs of deciduous and coniferous species. Frankly, I counted many times less.

conifers

First of all, I went to green area where coniferous plants are concentrated. I only recognized European pine, western thuja and common juniper. I first saw yew berry and metasequoia. Junipers played with shades of green: creeping, Cossack, virgin, Chinese, scaly. An interesting shape of the trunk stood out thuja folded, which was not at all like Japanese and oriental.

Pines are represented by 4 more species:

• black;
• weymouth;
• Siberian
• mountain.

hardwood

The territory of deciduous trees was more diverse in its color design. I was immediately attracted by the mountain ash, the leaves of which have already been purchased dark red color, and among which bunches of berries hung down. Palm-shaped maple and wrinkled-leaved viburnum also play with shades of red.

The common oak has been repainted beige, and acorns hang from its branches. Yellowness is added to the overall picture by a tulip tree, ginkgo biloba, heart-shaped linden, maple, and partly European beech, half of whose foliage has already been dyed brown.

The cork oak and the holly holly, on which red berries have ripened, have preserved the greenery, and from the shrubs - common ivy and boxwood.

Magnolia and wisteria chinensis hurried to shed their leaves. Spiraea, weigela and Chinese magnolia vine turned out to be bare shrubs.
