Tree at sunset

I wish you all merry holidays and a Happy New Year!

And I give you light :) A tree at sunset. The photo was taken in Russia, in the city of Krasnogorsk on the banks of the frozen Moskva River.

When there is snow on the ground and trees, it seems that plant life has stopped and nothing interesting happens, but this is not so.

Growth and development processes take place in all trees in winter, but they are especially noticeable in those who are opening the spring season.

January-February is the best time for cutting most conifers and sea buckthorn. Put at this time in a glass of water, they are covered with small roots after 1.5 weeks even without treatment with growth stimulants. This is explained, apparently, by the fact that the nutrients accumulated to protect against frost are consumed for the development of roots. Naturally, there are more of them in the cages in winter than in spring.
