Laburnum - What needs to be taken care of
The golden rain is one of the most popular garden and park plants - not only because of its decorative, fragrant, golden yellow grape blossoms, but also because it is pleasantly easy to clean. Still, there are a few things to keep in mind. We show you which.
The tolerance of the golden rain
As a gardener you can be grateful for so much frugality with so many offers. The precious laburnum, Laburnum watereri, does not require much to please us and bees with its golden, fragrant flowers.
So it thrives in many soils, from loamy-fresh to sandy and barren. The reason should not be too sour. Also, he does not need tons of sun, but may well be half shady. Last but not least, he is also a true thirsty artist and can easily survive long dry periods. He also needs no fertilizer. The nitrogen that he needs for growth, he simply pulls out of the air.
So what you need to worry about a little:
What else should be taken care of
In some ways, you should still treat your laburnum with some caution. This is especially true for the cut and root system.
cut
Cut the precious golden rain as little as possible. The cuts heal with him only bad and can easily rot. So be very sparing when molding and shorten as small branches as possible, which are not thicker than two centimeters. If you leave it largely alone and it can develop freely, it will also give you a more lush flowering
roots
The laburnum produces a flat, fleshy root system that is relatively sensitive. In any case, it should not be damaged by intensive interventions in the ground. To protect it, the planting with ground cover or ornamental onion has proven itself. Through the loose treetop they get enough light to grow. In addition, purple flowering soil plants are an attractive play of colors in combination with the golden yellow gold rainbows.
Diseases and pests
Basically, the laburnum is quite robust against pests and diseases - occasionally it can get downy mildew or scale insects. An active fight is usually not necessary.
