Isithombe: Izinhlobonhlobo ze-Birch ku-Garden Design

Lesi sithombe sokwakheka kwezwe esimangalisayo sinikeza ukuboniswa kobuciko bokuqhathanisa kwezitshalo kanye nedizayini yamabomu engadini, ebonisa ubuhle nokuguquguquka kwezinhlobo eziningi ze-birch ngaphakathi kwesilungiselelo esifana nepaki esihlangene, esiluhlaza, nesinakekelwa ngokucophelela. Ukwakheka kwakhelwe ukugqamisa izinhlobo ezintathu ezihlukene ze-birch, ngayinye inikela ngokuthungwa okuhlukile, umbala, kanye nokuba khona okuqondile.

Kuhlangothi lwesokunxele lohlaka, i-River Birch (Betula nigra) igxilisa indawo yesehlakalo ngohlamvu lwawo olumangelengele, olunamandla. Isiqu, esikhuphuka siqonde futhi siqinile, siboniswa ngokugqamile, sigxile esicini saso esihlukanisa kakhulu: igxolo elikhiphayo. Lawa magxolo anothile, afudumele ngokubomvu-nsundu kuya ku-sinamoni-nsundu, axebuka emicu evulekile, eyiphepha kanye nezingqimba. Lokhu kuqhathanisa kombhalo kuyashesha, kubolekisa ikhwalithi yasendulo, eqinile esihlahleni, ehluke ngokubushelelezi kwenye indawo. Umpheme wayo, owakhiwe ngamahlamvu aluhlaza ngokukhanyayo, ukhothamela kahle ohlangothini lwesobunxele lwesigameko. Isisekelo sesihlahla sizungezwe indandatho enkulu, emnyama ye-mulch, echaza ngokucacile indawo yaso futhi igcizelela ukuvelela kwaso eduze nomngcele wengadi.

Isikhungo sokwakheka simakwe isihlahla esihlangene, esikhula kancane, cishe i-Dwarf Birch (Betula nana) noma i-cultivar enesimo esincane esifanayo. Lesi sihlahla sinompheme ominyene, ocishe ube yindilinga wamaqabunga amahle, agqamile aluhlaza. Njengoba isekelwe iqoqo leziqu ezizacile, ezinombala okhanyayo, isimo esincane salesi sihlahla, esilinganayo sigqama ngokumelene nezibonelo ezinde. Ukuhleleka kwayo, ukuma okubaziweyo kukhombisa ukubaluleka kwayo njengendawo yokugxila yesakhiwo emibhedeni emincane noma, njengoba kubonakala lapha, inikeza indawo yokugxila emaphakathi nobude enqamula umugqa phakathi kwekhava yaphansi nezihlahla ezinde. Isisekelo sayo esimboziwe sakha isiqhingi sejiyomethri otshanini obanzi, ogcizelela ukunemba okuhleliwe kwesakhiwo.

Okuchaza uhlangothi lwesokudla lwesigcawu iqoqo elihle lezihlahla zeSilver Birch (Betula pendula). Lezi zihlahla zinikeza umehluko omkhulu ku-River Birch. Iziqu zazo ezacile, eziningi zicwebezela ngamagxolo amhlophe qwa, abushelelezi kodwa anemifantu emnyama ecashile, evundlile. Lezi zinsika ezimhlophe ezime mpo zime ekukhululekeni okucijile ngokumelene nohlaza olujulile lwangemuva, zidala umthelela wokuhlobisa onamandla, wakudala. Amahlamvu awo anomoya, athambile aluhlaza akha ukukhanya, i-canopy evulekile, enikeza umuzwa wokunyakaza kwe-ethereal kanye nokuhlunga ukukhanya okuthambile, okudabukile emhlabathini ngezansi. Umehluko phakathi kwamagxolo amabi, abomvu omfula i-River Birch kanye namagxolo abushelelezi, amsulwa amhlophe e-Silver Birch wukushuba kwesihluthulelo okushukumisa isithakazelo esibonakalayo sokubhaliwe.

Isisekelo salokhu kuboniswa kwe-arboreal utshani obunakekelwa kahle, ukhaphethi obushelelezi, ojulile wohlaza esimaradi onwebeka yonke indawo engaphambili. Ukufana kotshani kudala ukungathathi hlangothi, isigaba esinwebekayo, okuvumela izinhlobo zezihlahla ezihlukene kanye nendlela yokwenza kugqame. Ukuzungeza utshani nokuchaza umngcele wengadi indawo yangemuva ecebile, enezendlalelo eziningi yohlaza oluhlukahlukene. Uthango oluminyene, olude noma udonga lwezihlahla eziluhlaza okumnyama lunikeza indawo ebiyelwe ngesakhiwo kanye nengemuva elijulile eliqinisa amathoni amhlophe nababomvu beziqu ze-birch. Maphakathi nenhlabathi, izinhlobonhlobo zezihlahla nezihlahla ezikhula kancane zihlelwe emibhedeni egobile, ziguquguquka ngaphandle komthungo phakathi kotshani nothango olusemthethweni.

Ukwengeza ukuchaphaza okubalulekile kombala, ama-hydrangea aphinki agqamile abonakala phakathi kwezihlahlana eziluhlaza, ikakhulukazi kwesokudla se-dwarf birch. Lezi zimpawu zezimbali zethula ithoni efudumele, ehambisanayo enothisa i-palette epholile eluhlaza nemhlophe. Yonke indawo iwubufakazi bokusebenza kwengadi okuyinkimbinkimbi, okubonisa ukuthi ukukhetha ngokucophelela nokubekwa kwezinhlobo zezilwane ngokusekelwe esimweni sazo, amagxolo, nokuthungwa kwamahlamvu kungakha umbukiso wonyaka wonke wobuhle. Lolu hlelo lubonisa ngobuhlakani ukuguquguquka kwama-birches—kusuka ku-River Birch ethanda amanzi, eyenziwe ngendlela efanayo ne-Dwarf Birch kanye ne-Grace Silver Birch—konke kutholakala ngokuvumelana phakathi kwe-panorama eyodwa engadini enokuthula nekhangayo.
