The fact is that plants are divided into male and female. How to distinguish female from male sea buckthorn? Is it necessary to have both shrubs on the plot to guarantee a harvest?

How to distinguish?

How to distinguish female from male sea buckthorn? This can be determined by the following signs:

  1. Shape of bush buds. On female plants they are located singly with a short distance from each other; on a male tree they are collected in inflorescences of several pieces, which look like cones. Unfortunately, this difference is not noticeable on plants under 3-4 years of age.
  2. Female flowers have a yellow tint and are collected in inflorescences, while male flowers are greenish-silver.
  3. In late spring, when the leaves have already grown to their final size, their shade is greener on female shrubs. Male plants have a bluish coating on the foliage.

Therefore, it is recommended to purchase adult plants that are 3 years old. The photo will clearly show how to distinguish male from female sea buckthorn.

Nuances of cultivation

The shrub is dioecious - this means that for fruit to appear, the female plant must be pollinated by the male. That is why it is important to know how to distinguish female from male sea buckthorn when purchasing seedlings.

Occurs through the work of insects and wind. One male plant is able to pollinate five female plants at a distance of 10 meters from it. Of course, a female sea buckthorn shrub located at a distance of up to 50 meters from a male one can be pollinated, but to obtain the best result, the plants are planted nearby.

Where to plant sea buckthorn in the country

After we have learned how to distinguish a male sea buckthorn tree from a female one, it is worth thinking about right place for landing. The shrub is quite light-loving, so it is important to place it in an area with sufficient lighting, avoiding close proximity to tall trees with a spreading crown.

The soil for planting shrubs must be fertile, nutritious, loose, with a neutral pH. In swampy and waterlogged soils, the tree will not bear fruit, and in addition, there is a high probability of its death.

When watering and fertilizing, one should take into account the fact that the root system is located superficially and has a diameter that is 2 times the height of the crown. The plant responds positively to the application of phosphorus and loosening the soil.

Correct selection of shrub variety

From the right choice The variety of tree depends on its fruiting. Since it is advisable to select one variety of sea buckthorn for successful pollination, it is important to understand how to distinguish a male plant from a female one. The variety of shrub must be suitable for the climatic conditions of the region, as well as the characteristics of the soil.

For temperate climates, shrubs with small growth (up to 2 meters), weak thorniness, high yield, and large fruit are ideal. According to these parameters, the most suitable varieties are Orange, Excellent, Chuyskaya, Amber, Moscow Beauty, Podarok Sad.

Planting and caring for plants

Before planting sea buckthorn, you need to know how to distinguish female and male bushes so as not to accidentally plant two same-sex bushes, because in this case there will be no harvest.

How to plant sea buckthorn:

  1. For planting, dig a hole about 50 cm deep and 50 cm wide.
  2. The soil from the pit is combined with fertilizers - compost, potassium phosphate and superphosphate.
  3. Part of the nutrient soil is poured into the bottom of the hole.
  4. The seedling is fixed in a vertical position and covered with the remaining soil. The root neck should be deepened by 5 cm.
  5. The newly planted plant is watered with a bucket of water, to which 1 glass of dolomite flour was added per 10 liters of liquid.

At correct landing plants should be located at a distance of 2 meters from each other due to the developed root system.

Caring for sea buckthorn consists of regular watering, loosening the soil, fertilizing and removing weeds around the bush. In hot weather, watering should be especially abundant and preferably done by sprinkling. Formative pruning is required periodically.

There are no particular difficulties in growing sea buckthorn; for a bountiful harvest, you only need to correctly select and plant plants of different sexes.

Acacia

Acacia is a tree that gives birth to life. It is the acacia tree that is asked to give birth to a child, but the spouses need to communicate with it together. The influence of acacia promotes fertility and awakens the instinct of procreation in both men and women equally.

Birch

Birch is the favorite tree of our people, personifying the Russian soul, a tree of extraordinary kindness. It is also called the tree of life. The esoteric teaching of trees connects with birch two runes of the Elder Futhark - Berkan and Uruz. Since time immemorial, the birch tree itself has been associated with fertility and healing magic; birch branches were used to impart fertility not only to the earth, but also to livestock and newlyweds. Cradles for newborns were made from birch wood (in almost all European countries!).

Symbolically and magically, the birch appears as a protection against all misfortunes, both physical and spiritual. Birch is extremely useful and very favorable in healing spells, spells aimed at strengthening the harvest. Birch branches (especially those that have just blossomed in spring) are rightly considered an excellent talisman, driving away sorrows and illnesses, protecting children from illnesses and many other troubles). Birch is gentle and compassionate, has a very soft, affectionate and at the same time strong influence. In contrast to oak, sick, weakened, and recovering people should turn to birch. It will ease suffering, help restore lost strength, make it easier to endure the disease, and speed up the recovery process.

Communication with birch is useful for people with upset nerves and depression. This tree relieves fatigue, neutralizes the negative effects of everyday stress, and helps restore mental harmony. A birch tree growing next to the house drives away nightmares. The impact of this tree is long lasting. It’s better not to come to it, but to live nearby, then it can heal you. Birch has always been credited with the ability to ward off evil spirits.

Hawthorn

Hawthorn, with which esoteric teachings associate the runes Thurisaz and Odal, was considered the “tree of the goddess of carnal love.” Popular beliefs They considered this tree enchanted and predicted an evil fate for anyone who was reckless enough to encroach on it. The death of children or the loss of livestock, the loss of accumulated money is the lot of those who have the audacity to destroy this thorny bush. And yet, either due to custom, or out of due respect for the hawthorn itself, strips of material are tied to its branches, clearly reminiscent of offerings to the goddess. A similar custom is still preserved in Ireland and some lands of Germany. At the same time, hawthorn was also revered as a protective plant: tea was brewed from its flowers, relieving anxiety, improving appetite and blood circulation. IN ancient Greece The hawthorn was seen as a symbol of hope and marriage. It was only with the advent of the Middle Ages that it began to be associated with witchcraft. Hawthorn is especially useful in protective and love magic, in spells that should speed up marriage or strengthen it.

Elder

In all countries Northern Europe this tree is revered for its great magical powers. Rune masters usually associate the runes of the human world with elderberry - Fehu and Odal. New branches on the elderberry easily grow to replace broken old ones, and any branch that ends up on the ground can take root. Tea is brewed on elderberry flowers “to purify the blood,” a soothing infusion is obtained from the bark, but the fumes emanating from this plant are considered pathogenic and even deadly for those who linger under its shadow. According to the Elder Edda, the goddess Freya chose the black elderberry as her home. Popular beliefs warn against burning elderberry wood in the house, as this brings inevitable misfortune. In the Middle Ages, the elderberry was considered a witch tree, the twigs of which were used by witches for night flights. Elderberry is the darkness of the Lower World. It provides the opportunity for active aggressive defense, and therefore it is believed that when an elderberry grows at the gate of a house, it is good, but bringing it into the house is not worth it. And therefore, you should think seriously before breaking an elderberry branch and carving runes on it.

In the esoteric tradition of the North, the beech tree, with which the Nautiz and Perth runes are associated, acts as a symbol of ancient knowledge discovered in relics, ancient temples, spells and manuscripts. The beech appears here as a guide from knowledge of the past to the acquisition of knowledge of the future.

Elm in the esoteric tradition is associated with the Gebo rune. Elm is an exclusively masculine tree, the tree of the true spiritual qualities of a real man. He gives preference to men in the full sense of the word, supports all their endeavors, but does not like losers. Only those who fight to the end do not become limp; they give strength. Sometimes one good contact with elm can last a person for many years. In the Middle Ages, knights made spears from elm not only because of the strength of the wood. It was believed that elm spears instilled courage in a warrior and brought good luck in battle. In magic, the elm brings stability and support to the spell.

Oak is a mighty tree, a symbol of enormous vitality, longevity, revered by all northern Europeans as the sacred tree of the thunder god (Thor, Perun). The Celts, on the contrary, tend to revere the oak as the tree of the supreme deity, the tree of wisdom and spiritual strength. By the way, the term “druid” itself comes from the Celtic stem, which has two meanings - “oak” and “wisdom” (the same stem dru/drw sounds in the Russian word “tree”). Throughout the North-West, the oak tree (as well as the thunderbird) is associated with a certain day of the week - Thursday, which in northern languages ​​is called Thursday, “Thor's Day”. Esoteric teaching connects as many as six runes of the Elder Futhark with oak - Thurisaz, Evaz, Raido, Teyvaz, Yaro and Dagaz. Thanks to physical properties oak, such as the reliability and strength of its wood, the size and longevity of the trunk, as well as connections with the supreme deities in the magical practice of the North, oak was generally used in spells aimed at protection, increasing physical strength, and achieving stable success.
Oak is an energy donor. With direct contact with it, a person receives the maximum possible amount of vital energy.
However, we should not forget that this is a strong but harsh tree. His aura is very powerful, it only perceives well healthy people. It is better for a person who is seriously ill or suffering from chronic diseases not to communicate with this tree.
Communication with oak charges a person with activating energy and calms the soul. It has long been noted that walking through an oak forest normalizes blood pressure and has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart and nervous system.
Oak always gives preference to warriors, fighters, strong and healthy people. He heals wounds received in battle, heals the souls of warriors, and shares a piece of his longevity. Veterans, former soldiers, and elderly people benefit greatly from contact with him.

Spruce offers its energy support all year round. It does not contain particularly strong properties, but its energy is constantly available to those who feel a lack of strength in winter. It will give you no more energy than you need.
Spruce helps control emotions and puts you in a philosophical mood. The smell of burnt, dried pine needles is an excellent way to cleanse your home of harmful influences.

Willow is a water-loving tree, which is probably why the Laguz water rune is traditionally associated with it. It is associated with the concepts of cyclicity, rhythm, as well as ebb and flow. Willow is a tree of female magic. She is associated with the Moon, all rituals dedicated to earth and water that women perform. The energy of willow cannot be called good, it is indifferent to the problems of good and evil, it serves only nature, obeying the laws of balance and justice. The energy of willow gives amazing power to women who are able to bewitch, turn away, damage the offender, and ruin his fate. Willow is extremely sensitive and may not want to communicate with you. In the Western tradition, tending towards water weeping willow became a symbol of unhappy love and sorrow.

Chestnut

Chestnut – we are talking about a female chestnut. Direct contact with this tree is tantamount to communication with a stormy mountain river. The pure and strong flow of his energy will wash away your ailments, but do not expect energy replenishment from him. Kashtan is busy with himself. He is selfish.

Cypress

Cypress is also a typically masculine tree, affects the sexual strength of men, sexual activity and not only enhances potency in healthy men, but also heals weak ones.
Cypress does not perceive the female body, but through a man it brings harmony and novelty to family relationships. True, it does not operate at a distance. To fully interact with this tree, a person only needs direct contact or being in close proximity to it. Then the energy of cypress gives a man an aura of irresistibility that is difficult to resist.
Cypress requires immediate satisfaction of the desire that has arisen; it willingly helps those who turn to it for help.

Maple

Maple is a tree that helps people of all types find peace of mind, brings peace and self-confidence. This is the tree of inner strength and balance. It is not touchy; takes on all emotional outbursts, frees you from boiling passions.

Larch is a calming tree. If a person is haunted by fears, doubts, and causeless anxiety, contact with larch will bring him great relief. She heals the hard ones nervous disorders, especially accompanied by attacks of melancholy and depression. Her influence helps to see the best sides of life.

Juniper

Juniper is a shrub with strong cleansing properties. Its power is mainly directed not at people, but at the objects around them. If you burn its needles in your apartment, you can get rid of the adverse effects.
For a person, juniper can help remove the evil eye or damage, and get rid of the effects of a love spell.

Alder

Esoteric tradition connects the human rune Mannaz with alder. Piles were made from resinous, rot-resistant alder wood, which were traditionally used throughout Europe to lay foundations for buildings in marshy areas. The foundations of Venice and Rotterdam, Winchester Cathedral and watermills on the islands of Scotland are supported on alder piles. Alder is also associated with the production of swords; gunsmiths valued its wood for the most best coal for melting metal. Like the yew, alder is a “bleeding” tree, and cutting it down was considered blasphemy, capable of causing a fire in the home of the one who cut it down. Probably, due to its practical use, alder is understood in the esoteric tradition as a kind of bridge connecting the lower, underground kingdom with the above-ground kingdom of air. In Irish and British mythology, the alder, as a sacred tree, personifies the deified King Bran. Tradition says that all the prophecies that Bran's embalmed head uttered while it was carried across the country came true, and therefore alder is associated with protection, the ability to foresee the future and divination.
Alder is a tree that protects the family; The more children and grandchildren there are in a family, the more the alder supports its members. It strengthens family ties, unites all family members, it tends to unite people into a clan.
If you come to alder with problems of family relationships, she will willingly help you find a solution. This is a tree for women who are guardians of the hearth, a tree “ big house" Alder will help you “tie” your husband to your home.

Poplar

Poplar is a completely indifferent tree to humans. Its peculiarity is that it, like a sponge, absorbs everything negative from the environment. Therefore, in cities, poplar plays the role of a health worker and improves the environment.

Bird cherry

Bird cherry is a gentle tree, friendly to youth, heals the spiritual disappointments of the young, helps to show tender affection, youthful passion, but does not allow anything base. If it is not your soul that speaks, but your body, bird cherry will not do you any good.
Even if you are no longer young, tired of the vicissitudes of fate, come to the bird cherry tree. Her aura will help you fall in love with people and life again.

Rose hip

Rosehip stimulates the manifestation of tender feelings, is responsible for the emotional side of love, supports tenderness, passion, and spiritual harmony in people. If you pick a flowering rosehip branch and give it to your loved one, but it leaves him indifferent, it means that his feelings are not as deep and strong as you thought. The good magic of rose hips is concentrated in flowers and fruits.

Apple tree

The apple tree is the first tree in the Druid horoscope. In European symbolism, the apple tree is considered a tree of rebirth to eternal life. The Greeks left us a legacy of the legend about the golden apples of the Hesperides, the Scandinavians - about the goddess Idunn and the apples of immortality, the Celtic epic tells of the blissful Island of Apples Avalon, among the Slavs - these are fabulous “rejuvenating apples”. Thus, the apple tree itself, like the Inguz rune associated with it, personifies eternal life. The apple tree is one of the first cultivated trees and therefore in esoteric teaching is associated with conscious choice. When Tacitus mentions a “fruitful tree” in his description of runic fortune-telling, he most likely means an apple tree. Being associated with choice and, probably, with fortune telling, the apple tree provides considerable assistance in predictions, and in addition, its wood has long been used in love and healing magic. This is a tree feminine power, female sexuality, awakens the sensual side of nature in a woman. If you want to experience a surge of erotic powers, then go to bed in the summer under an apple tree, however, it is more willing to share its powers with young girls. Under the influence of the energy of the apple tree, a girl can imagine the image of an ideal man suitable for her, and in a dream see her betrothed. But you must be wary of the temptations that this tree may surround you with. There are no moral rules for the energy of the apple tree; it is guided only by the call of nature.

Even in ancient times, people knew that trees could heal. If you are tired, feel apathetic towards everything or are simply energetically exhausted, lean against a tree and it will definitely heal you.

Currently, people have lost touch with nature, but our ancestors lived in harmony with the world around them. They knew how to interact with nature, and in return it protected and nourished people with the necessary energy. After all, plants, like all living things, have a biofield and can interact with us at the energy level. Tibetan yogis know perfectly how to receive energy from trees, and in ancient times the Celtic Druid priests possessed this art. The knowledge of the Druids was secret, but some of it has survived to our times. For example, the Druid horoscope, which connects a person’s date of birth with the corresponding talisman tree.

The strongest energy is possessed by the trees around which no other trees or shrubs grow within 5-6 meters. It’s also best to recharge your energy early in the morning. To do this, approach the selected tree from the south side, first lean your forehead, then hug it with your palms, and finally, asking for help, lean your whole body. Thus, you will get rid of fatigue, apathy, and exhaustion. If you are overexcited, nervous and need to relax, then you need to approach the tree from the north side, with your arms down, touching first your back and then your palms. After five minutes, you can stop the session and mentally thank the tree.

But not everything is so simple! There are donor trees - cedar, pine, oak, linden, birch, maple, acacia, viburnum, yew and all fruit trees, which feed energy, give a boost of vigor, and normalize blood pressure. Among them there are female trees (for example, viburnum, acacia, linden) and male trees (oak, maple), which, accordingly, come into contact more easily with their gender. And there are also so-called vampire trees - aspen, poplar, chestnut, spruce, willow, elm, bird cherry and other fast-growing trees that absorb energy, both positive and negative, and thanks to this they cure diseases and stress. You can also turn to such trees for help, only after the session you must recharge from the donor tree.

At landscape design garden it should be taken into account that coniferous trees cannot tolerate proximity to deciduous trees. Pine, thuja and cedar do not get along with fir and spruce. Also, for people with hypertension, you should not create a garden with a large positive charge. This category requires landscapes with a predominance of negative charges in the form of aspen, alder and spruce. You can also add weakly positive linden and birch to this company. For young and active people, a garden made of energy-intensive rocks is suitable. Well, in the garden, where children often frolic, it is best to plant low trees with positive and neutral energy.

Trees are male and female. Oak is a male tree. Birch is a female tree. Whether a tree is male or female is easily determined in accordance with the rules of the Russian language. For example, ash is he, linden is she. The Russian language is the wisdom of our people, it is the experience and knowledge of our ancestors, including sacred knowledge. Although sacred knowledge is secret knowledge, it is often in plain sight. We do not think about things that are familiar to us and therefore do not realize many things in their full sense. The Russian language itself already contains information about how a Russian person perceives the character of a particular tree, as male or female. This perception is not directly related to how the tree looks - whether it is large and thick or small and thin. We must proceed from the name. The name of the tree hides the experience of our ancestors communicating with it. Hazel is he, although the tree is small and has a thin trunk; spruce is she, although it is often a mighty tree.

Choose a tree based on your gender and also based on the goals of your communication with it.

It is easier for a woman to interact with a female tree, and for a man with a male tree due to the similarity of characters. But just as in life, a daughter does not resolve all issues with her mother; some of them she turns to her father, so here, a woman does not always turn to the female tree; sometimes she also turns to the male tree. And a man sometimes turns to the female tree, just as in life he resolves some issues with his mother.

If the tree is good in all respects, suits your purposes and delights you, stand before it under its branches.

Do not forget that a tree is not only a trunk and branches, it is not only in front of you and above you, it is also below you. Root system the tree is no less developed in size and shape than the crown. Stand under the branches. And the tree will be both above you and below you. You will stand on its roots.

Stand in front of the tree so as to close the largest and most stable chain with it: roots-trunk-crown-man-roots, or in the reverse order roots-man-crown-trunk-roots. Stand not next to the trunk, but not far from it, so that the very edge of the crown is not yet above you.

Think about why you came, clearly and concisely state your desire. Then throw away all thoughts, including why you came, and feel the tree.

Look straight ahead at the trunk, without looking away, without blinking, and breathe rhythmically and slowly, with each breath taking the strength of the tree and with each exhalation getting rid of your own inner fatigue and weakness. You can see golden shimmering dust in the air around you. This is the energy of the tree and the place. Inhale it and pause before exhaling, hold it and collect it inside yourself.
Exhale the gray, spent and unnecessary of your own and during the pause after the exhalation, distribute within yourself the golden that you gained during the inhalation, distribute inside the body instead of the gray and discarded. With every breath you take away the power of the tree and the place. It enters you with your breath, but not only with it. Through your feet from the roots. Through your crown from the crown. Turn the palms of your hands towards the trunk, feel the warm flow from the trunk to you in the rhythm of your breathing. Feel how the power of the tree penetrates you with your inhalation and through your skin. Inhale with your whole body. If there are health problems, a diseased organ, direct the power of the tree into it, remove negativity from it. Breathing is deep and gradually slows down. But you don’t need to achieve this on purpose, don’t force yourself to breathe deeper and slower, it should happen on its own after many such contacts with the tree. It’s good if you work with wood regularly, once a week, every weekend without skipping, regardless of the weather or time of year. Once you have started, there is no valid reason for missing it. It’s good if in winter you work with wood, standing in the snow barefoot, without a hat on your head, without a scarf, mittens, in light clothes, and at the same time the snow melts under your feet and nearby, and the palms of your hands and soles of your feet warm up, regardless of how many degrees below zero it is, or whether it is raining or snowing. It’s good if you did 50 breathing cycles inhale-pause-exhale-pause and it turned out that it took more than an hour. It's good if you forgot to take your watch off your hand and it stopped during this practice. This indicates that you are on the right path and your practice is successful.

What kind of practice is this? A common practice of taking energy from an object that possesses energy. If something similar is done in relation to a person, then it will be called vampirism. The practice of vampirism is immoral. In addition, it is fraught with negative consequences. In a place with a person’s energy, you can get his illnesses and his problems. There are practically no absolutely healthy and in all respects prosperous people around us, except ourselves. Disdain other people's energy. Be disdainful for both moral and physiological reasons. Work with the energy of the landscape and the tree. It is a pure source from which you can drink without fear.

While working with a tree, try to close a single power circle with it, and not just take away part of its power, but make an exchange around the ring. From the tree to you, and from you to the tree. How will the energy go? From the roots through your feet to you, and from you through the crown to the crown, or vice versa, from top to bottom? It's up to you to decide. What kind of world do you want? The power of a tree is on three levels, in three worlds - below the ground, at the ground level and above the ground. Do you need energy from the lower or upper world? Complete the circle. Look at the tree. Absorb and release power rhythmically with your breathing, completing the circle. And the tree suddenly turns around. It will become visible from all sides at once. You will see what is in front of it and what is behind it, because you are now a tree and you are observing everything around you from all sides at once. And the world around will change, become different, the image will become flat and multidimensional at the same time, like layered pictures, highlighting one or the other layer depending on how deep the gaze is. In this state there are no thoughts, only sensations. Being in this state, in a state of merging in one’s internal vibrations with the tree, a person cannot think, think, think. Therefore, it is difficult, almost impossible, to formulate at this moment the desire for the fulfillment of which you came to the tree. But not with a thought, without any words, at this moment there are no words, there is no internal dialogue, it is impossible to say anything, but you can feel the desire to fulfill what the person standing in front of the tree wants. The one you yourself were just before you became a tree. Desire, formed at the slow energy frequencies of the tree, in that world where there are no words, gives birth to action and change in our world. This is the fulfillment of a wish. This is one of the techniques of witchcraft.

To the question: Is there such a thing as a male tree? Which trees are considered male? given by the author *20th of December* the best answer is that on male plants (poplar, willow) there are staminate flowers in which pollen grains ripen, then they are transferred by the wind to female plants(pistillate), where pollination and fruit formation occur.

Hello! Here is a selection of topics with answers to your question: There is such a thing as a male tree. Which trees are considered male?

Answer from Eurovision[guru]
Some species of trees and shrubs are bisexual. With male and female seeds. Only the female tree bears fruit. For example Sea Buckthorn.


Answer from ratiobor[guru]
oak hornbeam baobab and if without laughter then - There are tree species in which some specimens are male and others are female. The male flowers produce only staminate flowers, while the female flowers produce exclusively pistillate flowers. In short, there is a strict separation of the sexes. Some trees are of one sex, some of the other.
This is exactly the case with our ordinary aspen. In this respect it differs from many other tree species that we find in the forest. Few people notice that aspen trees have male and female trees. And most likely because the separation of the sexes clearly appears only during flowering, when the trees are still completely bare and leafless. And at this time, few people see the aspen. It blooms very early in spring, one of the very first. At this time we rarely go into the forest.
During the flowering period, identifying male aspen trees is not difficult. There are no leaves on them yet, and thick bright red earrings the length of a finger hang down from the branches. There are a lot of them, and this makes the crown of the tree look somewhat strange and unusual. Red aspen catkins can often be found on the ground. But they did not fall from the tree by themselves. They were knocked down by some birds that feed on this peculiar food. When the bird begins to peck at the earrings, some of them fall to the ground.
By picking up a fallen earring, you can understand why it is red. The numerous stamens of the male flowers that make up the catkin are red in color. The bright color of the earrings lasts only for a short time - until the pollen spills out. After this, the earrings fade, and then dry up and fall to the ground.
Female aspen trees look different. You can also see a lot of earrings hanging down on them. But these earrings are completely different - green. Each of them is a cluster of small pistillate flowers of greenish color. Women's aspen earrings, unlike men's, are plain and ugly. They don't attract much attention.
After pollination occurs, the female aspen flower begins to increase in size and eventually turns into a fruit - a small oval capsule the size of a grain of wheat. A mature capsule cracks, and abundant “fluff” spills out of it - tiny seeds equipped with hairs. The aspen seed is so small that it is hardly visible to the naked eye. The hairs covering it are very thin and long, directed in different directions. The fluff seed is almost weightless and can fly in the air for a long time without falling to the ground. The wind can carry it very far from the mother tree. Aspen fruits ripen quite early - already at the end of spring. In this regard, aspen is ahead of many other trees in the forest. However, it is one of the very first to bloom.
The fact that aspen blooms in a leafless state has certain advantages. While there are no leaves in the crown of the tree, pollen is more easily transferred by the wind from male to female specimens and encounters fewer obstacles on its way.
By summer, the aspen is completely covered with foliage and differs little in appearance from neighboring trees. But its foliage is completely special, unusually mobile. As soon as even a slight breeze blows, all the leaves immediately begin to tremble. No wonder they say “trembles like an aspen leaf.”
What is the reason for such mobility of aspen leaves? Why do they sway so easily in the wind? The point here is the special structure of the leaf petiole. Look how unusual it is, not like other trees. First of all, it's very long. And secondly (and this is the most important thing), it is flat, flattened from the sides. It is thanks to this petiole that the leaves easily sway from side to side. In other trees, the leaf petiole is not flat, but more or less cylindrical, and therefore the leaves are not so mobile.
Aspen has a lot interesting features, which other trees do not have. Even the taste of its branches is unusual. Try to lightly chew an aspen twig - you will feel a strong bitterness. By this bitter taste it is easy to recognize an aspen branch even in winter, when there are absolutely no leaves on it. Tree bark t

The entire course of development of any organism is determined by sexualization. It reflects the physiological difference in quality of male and female individuals, on the interaction of which the efficiency of fruiting depends.

Therefore, sexual differentiation of genotypes must be taken into account when forming high-yielding plantations, as well as when choosing trees for obtaining high yields pine nuts when creating various types landing

Siberian pine is a monoecious species. Both female and male generative organs are simultaneously formed on the same tree. Mature trees always produce more male anthers than female macrostrobili. According to the degree of their predominance, individuals of different sexual types are distinguished: female, male and mixed. With a sharp excess (80 times or more), the tree belongs to the male type, with a moderate (25-70 times) - to the mixed type, with a small one, no more than 20 times - to the female type. The ratio of male and female generative organs changes annually, depending on the size of the crop being formed.

This reproductive specialization of trees determines the efficiency of seed production and guarantees the existence of the species during seed propagation. The main function of female specimens is to produce seeds. These are predominantly high-yielding genotypes with weak pollen capacity. In natural plantings, reliable cross-pollination with them is ensured by trees of male and mixed types. They produce a huge mass of viable pollen with modest nut yields.

Siberian pine trees of different sexual types have well-defined external (phenotypic) differences. Females grow slower than others and are shorter in height. They have a wider, more luxurious crown with an oval top. Most of the crown (80-90%) is occupied by the fruiting tier. Trees of male and mixed types have a more compact and narrow crown. The length of the fruiting layer does not exceed, respectively, 30 and 60% of the entire crown. In males, the apex is cone-shaped.

On trees of different sexes different years An unequal number of male anthers is formed. The pollen productivity of cedar depends on their abundance and size. During the years of formation of generative organs, a 75-100-year-old female tree has 2-4, a mixed tree - 5-7, and a male tree - 7.5-10.5 thousand microstrobilae, producing, respectively, 0.3-0.6 , 0.7-1.0 and 1.1-1.5 kg of pollen. During years of average reproductive activity, their number is reduced by an average of 1.7-1.8 times, and in years of low reproductive activity - by 2-3 times. At the same time, the mass of pollen on one tree decreases for females in average-yielding years to 200 g, in low-yielding years - to 50 g, for male and mixed ones - to 500-700 g.

The pollen productivity of a tree of a certain sexual type is biologically determined. Among individuals of female sexualization, small-anthered forms are more common, producing relatively a small amount of pollen. In male and mixed types, large-anthered plants predominate, forming a large mass of life-giving substance. Individuals of male and mixed sexualization, whose main generative function is the production of pollen, produce it constantly in large quantities and more stable from year to year than female trees. At the same time, their pollen is characterized by increased vitality and germination energy due to the higher content of growth-stimulating substances in the generative organs of male shoots.

The sexual types of trees in Siberian pine are biologically different in quality and are highly genotypically determined. Phenotypic differences remain between them in a multi-year cycle and functional features. That is why the diversity of sexual forms and their specific characteristics is necessary and possible to use when selecting individuals for walnut production of a given fruit breed.

Even in ancient times, people knew that trees could heal. If you are tired, feel apathetic towards everything or are simply energetically exhausted, lean against a tree and it will definitely heal you.

Currently, people have lost touch with nature, but our ancestors lived in harmony with the world around them. They knew how to interact with nature, and in return it protected and nourished people with the necessary energy. After all, plants, like all living things, have a biofield and can interact with us at the energy level. Tibetan yogis know perfectly how to receive energy from trees, and in ancient times the Celtic Druid priests possessed this art. The knowledge of the Druids was secret, but some of it has survived to our times. For example, the Druid horoscope, which connects a person’s date of birth with the corresponding talisman tree.

The strongest energy is possessed by the trees around which no other trees or shrubs grow within 5-6 meters. It’s also best to recharge your energy early in the morning. To do this, approach the selected tree from the south side, first lean your forehead, then hug it with your palms, and finally, asking for help, lean your whole body. Thus, you will get rid of fatigue, apathy, and exhaustion. If you are overexcited, nervous and need to relax, then you need to approach the tree from the north side, with your arms down, touching first your back and then your palms. After five minutes, you can stop the session and mentally thank the tree.

But not everything is so simple! There are donor trees - cedar, pine, oak, linden, birch, maple, acacia, viburnum, yew and all fruit trees that feed energy, give a boost of vigor, and normalize blood pressure. Among them there are female trees (for example, viburnum, acacia, linden) and male trees (oak, maple), which, accordingly, come into contact more easily with their gender. And there are also so-called vampire trees - aspen, poplar, chestnut, spruce, willow, elm, bird cherry and other fast-growing trees that absorb energy, both positive and negative, and thanks to this they cure diseases and stress. You can also turn to such trees for help, only after the session you must recharge from the donor tree.

When landscape designing a garden, it should be taken into account that coniferous trees do not tolerate proximity to deciduous trees. Pine, thuja and cedar do not get along with fir and spruce. Also, for people with hypertension, you should not create a garden with a large positive charge. This category requires landscapes with a predominance of negative charges in the form of aspen, alder and spruce. You can also add weakly positive linden and birch to this company. For young and active people, a garden made of energy-intensive rocks is suitable. Well, in the garden, where children often frolic, it is best to plant low trees with positive and neutral energy.

Energy trees:

Acacia- donor tree that generates life. You can ask the acacia tree for the birth of a child, but both spouses must ask. Acacia bioenergy is beneficial to everyone.

Birch- the tree of Life. Birch is gentle and compassionate, has a very soft, affectionate and at the same time strong influence. Helps alleviate suffering, make it easier to endure illness, restore lost strength and speed up the healing process. It is very useful to communicate with birch for people whose nervous system is very upset. This tree relieves fatigue, neutralizes the negative effects of everyday stress, and helps restore mental harmony.

Hawthorn- protection from evil forces. Talismans were made from hawthorn to protect people from lightning and help fishermen make a good catch.

Elder– cleanses and protects. If you stand under an elder tree, you will never be struck by lightning, as this bush protects from aggressive energy. But bringing it into the house is not recommended.

Beech– This is one of the most energetically favorable breeds for humans. When interacting with beech, you will receive an extraordinary charge of strength, youth and health.

Willow It has a gentle effect on a person, calms, relaxes, relieves headaches and nervous tension.

Cherry– this tree brings good luck with its energy, but only once.

Elm- male tree. She is very good at helping men in all their endeavors, but does not like losers. Only to those who fight to the end without “losing” does the elm give strength. It happens that just one session with elm is enough for many years. In the Middle Ages, knights made spears from elm, which instilled courage in the warrior and brought good luck in battle.

Pear- a symbol of longevity, motherhood and love. This is a feminine tree, it helps women cleanse themselves of external negativity. Gives openness, sociability, and breadth of soul. The most intense energy emission occurs during flowering. The fruits of this tree stimulate creativity and imagination, especially in children.

Oak– this is a mighty donor tree, a symbol of enormous vitality and longevity. The Druids considered it sacred. The oak aura is very strong, but this tree only accepts healthy people. Walking in oak forests normalizes blood pressure and calms the nervous system.

Spruce– energizes very well, especially in winter, when people experience apathy and loss of strength.

Willow- tree of female magic. Submits to the laws of nature.

Kalina– the energy is close to acacia, but a little weaker.

Chestnut– helps relieve various ailments, but does not provide energy.

Cedar– energy titan among trees. It radiates energy of such strength and power that it simply demolishes any evil and negativity. Cedar does not wait for you to ask it for help. He simply solves all your problems for you, and he does it much better than you yourself. Takes away all sorrows and speeds up the recovery process after illness.
Relieves stress, depression, teaches you to enjoy life.
Cedar does not like loneliness. It is advisable to plant at least two cedar trees in the garden for “friendly company” - so that the trees can “communicate” with each other

Cypress– a male tree that increases the sexual strength of men. Brings harmony to family relationships through men.

Maple– helps to find peace of mind, calms all emotional outbursts, frees you from boiling passions.

Linden– donor tree with soft energy. Maintains peace and tranquility in the house. Relieves depression, but not immediately, but gradually. Support for sad dreamers, support for disappointments. Linden is good for colds.

Larch- a calming tree. If a person is haunted by fears, doubts, and causeless anxiety, contact with larch will bring him great relief. This tree helps you see the best sides of life.

Juniper– has strong cleansing properties. Removes the effects of love spells.

Alder- a tree that protects the family. Strengthens family and family ties.

Hazel and Hazel- a tree with a very strong character. The most important quality of this tree is justice. Helps to find a way out of complicated life situations and consider it from the point of view of justice.

Aspen– a tree that absorbs negative energy. Cleanses the aura from harmful extraneous influences. Helps with neuroses and unreasonable fear.

Fir instills in a person self-confidence, strength, strength of mind and body. Helps you calmly survive the “dark streak” of life.

Lilac can inspire the creation of masterpieces of painting and music. Represents softness, beauty, generosity. Frees a person's aura from irritation.

Pine– a tree with a very strong aura, which helps in the most crucial moments of life. Helps spiritual insight and creative growth. Relieves irritation and stress, improves immunity. Partially removes negative outside influences.

Yew– having strong energy, it increases the flexibility of the psyche, helps raise consciousness to the upper planes. Activates all activities of the human body, giving endurance. The power of yew cleanses our blood from the energetic dirt and physical toxins accumulated in it and therefore treats allergic diseases and prolongs life. The only drawback of the influence of yew is increased aggressiveness, rage, and angry people can be pushed into quarrels over trifles and provoke attacks of anger.

Poplar- a tree completely indifferent to humans. Its peculiarity is that it, like a sponge, absorbs everything negative from the environment. Therefore, in cities, poplar plays the role of a health worker and improves the environment.

Apple tree– a tree of feminine strength and female sexuality. Awakens sensual principles in women, especially young ones.

Bird cherry- a tree of young people that helps heal their spiritual disappointments.

Trees have lived on Earth for many thousands of years, bringing with them life in the form of oxygen, which is so necessary for us. These are our assistants and doctors. There are many legends, signs and customs associated with them.

There are tree species in which some specimens are male and others are female. The male flowers produce only staminate flowers, while the female flowers produce exclusively pistillate flowers. In short, there is a strict separation of the sexes. Some trees are of one sex, some of the other.

Is this why the forest giants, moose, love to gnaw it so much? We often see traces of their teeth on the trunks of aspen trees, quite high from the ground. No other animal can leave such traces at such a height.

Aspen wood is not very highly valued. It is soft, fragile, and rots easily. Aspen is used mainly for matches. Sometimes roofs are covered with thin plates of aspen wood (ploughshare). Aspen firewood is very bad; it produces little heat. Aspen is not suitable for firewood. It is also not very suitable for construction.
