If you need to transplant a sea buckthorn, you need to know about the capriciousness of this tree. Gardeners note that it is easier to plant a seedling than to change the place of cultivation for a rooted sea buckthorn. It is quite stressful after this.

How to do everything correctly and safely for the tree

It is recommended to transplant a tree in September and during October. You need to start digging at a distance of 60 cm from the trunk. They are dug gradually so as not to damage the root system. Sea buckthorn tolerates such damage very poorly.

The new place should have prepared soil. Sea buckthorn needs light and well-drained soil. Objectively assess the composition. If clay predominates, if the soil is heavy, then it is necessary to improve it with sand and peat.

The pit for the tree is first equipped with drainage materials. This can be crushed stone or gravel. The soil is mixed with compost and sand. The root system is spread out in the pit and the tree is covered with the prepared mixture. At the end, the soil is compacted and watered as usual. To preserve moisture, mulch with peat or dry leaves.
