Speierling

 

WIE MAN DEN SPEIERLING RICHTIG SCHNEIDET,  

wird auf WILDFIND kurz und treffend erklärt.

 

Für kleine und große Bäume werden neben Schnitt-Basiswissen Schnitttechniken vermittelt, die der von Ihnen angestrebten Baumform entsprechen:

• Pyramidenkrone
• Hohlkrone
• Spindel
• Säulenobst (Zwergobst), Obsthecke
• Wandspalier, freistehendes Spalier, Obsthecke

Jeder gepflegte Speierling, gleich in welcher Form er gezogen wird, erhält, seinem Alter entsprechend, einen Spezialschnitt:

• Pflanzschnitt
• Aufbauschnitt (= Erziehungsschnitt)
• Erhaltungsschnitt
• Verjüngungsschnitt.

Der Einstieg zu allen Schnittangaben erfolgt    h i e r  !

Succeeds in most reasonably good soils in an open sunny position. Tolerates light shade, though it fruits better in a sunny position[K]. The service tree is occasionally cultivated for its edible fruit. There are 2 distinct forms, S. domestica pomifera. (Hayne.)Rehd. with apple shaped fruits (which ripen from September) and S. domestica pyriformis. (Hayne.)Rehd. with pear shaped fruits which ripen from October. Plants are susceptible to fireblight and to canker (which is especially prevalent in areas with high rainfall)[K]. They grow best in the drier areas of Britain, which in general means the eastern half of the country. The plant is heat tolerant in zones 8 through 6. (Plant Hardiness Zones show how well plants withstand cold winter temperatures. Plant Heat Zones show when plants would start suffering from the heat. The Plant Heat Zone map is based on the number of "heat days" experienced in a given area where the temperature climbs to over 86 degrees F (30°C). At this temperature, many plants begin to suffer physiological damage. Heat Zones range from 1 (no heat days) to 12 (210 or more heat days). For example Heat Zone. 11-1 indicates that the plant is heat tolerant in zones 11 through 1.) For polyculture design as well as the above-ground architecture (form - tree, shrub etc. and size shown above) information on the habit and root pattern is also useful and given here if available. The plant growth habit is a standard with a non-suckering single trunk [1-2]. In garden design, as well as the above-ground architecture of a plant, root structure considerations help in choosing plants that work together for their optimal soil requirements including nutrients and water. The root pattern is branching: a heart root, dividing from the crown into several primary roots going down and out [2-1]. Partially self-fertile, but fruit production is higher with cross-pollination. The fruits are typically harvested in late summer to early autumn, from August to October (Northern Hemisphere), once they are fully ripe. Sorbus species usually flower in late spring to early summer, generally from May to June (Northern Hemisphere), producing clusters of white or pink flowers. Sorbus species are generally moderate to fast-growing, with some species reaching maturity in about 5 to 10 years, depending on species and growing conditions. Sorbus species, known as rowan or service trees, provide both edible fruit and ornamental value, making them good choices for food forests. Several Sorbus species, such as S. domestica, S. torminalis, and S. aria, are more adaptable to the warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters of Mediterranean climates. S. aucuparia may also be grown in cooler or higher elevation areas within Mediterranean climates, though it prefers less heat.

Edible Parts: Fruit Edible Uses: Fruit - raw or cooked. The fruit is usually bletted if it is going to be eaten raw. This involves storing the fruit in a cool, dry place until it is almost but not quite going rotten. At this stage, the fruit tastes deliciously like a luscious tropical fruit[K]. The fruit will often begin its bletting process whilst still on the tree, and we have eaten delicious fruits straight from the tree in mid-September[K]. The fruit can also be dried and used like prunes. The fruit is up to 3cm across.

Tannin Wood Agroforestry uses: Sorbus species can be used as shade trees and are beneficial for wildlife, providing food and habitat. The fruits are edible for birds and can be used in jams and jellies. They can also contribute to soil improvement. The bark is a source of tannin. Wood - fine grained, very heavy, hard to split. Used for furniture, screws, wine presses etc. 1. Nectary - Flowers rich in nectar and pollen: Yes – Sorbus species produce clusters of small, white flowers that are rich in nectar and pollen, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. 2. Wildlife - Food (Fruit, Seeds, Leaf litter, Shelter, Nesting, Roosting): Yes – The fruit (berries) of Sorbus species, such as rowan or mountain ash, are eaten by birds and mammals. The dense canopy provides shelter and roosting opportunities for birds, while the fallen leaves contribute to the detritus layer for invertebrates. 3. Invertebrate Shelter (Overwintering sites, Leaf litter, Groundcover): Yes – The rough bark, leaf litter, and berry detritus provide overwintering sites for invertebrates and beneficial insects. The fallen leaves can serve as ground cover, benefiting the ecosystem. 4. Pest Confuser (Smell): No – Sorbus species do not have a notable scent that acts as a pest confuser.
