“On St Catherine’s Day, all wood takes root\u201d<\/strong> (French saying)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although St Catherine’s Day has already passed; it was on 25th November; this day is only the starting point for winter planting of bare root trees and shrubs (plants that have grown in the ground to make them more vigorous).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to plant at this time, it is still advisable to make sure the weather is not too cold, it does not freeze and the soil is not too wet. In the vegetable garden, it would seem that planting fruit trees is a good idea, as well as small red fruit bushes such as blackcurrant, red currant or raspberry. You can also plant some aromatic herbs such as sage or thyme, rhubarb and vines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you have to select the right place with the right soil and sunlight for the tree or shrub. Planting a tree which needs a well drained soil, in a wet substrate, even on Saint Catherine’s Day, will not be very successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the vegetable garden there are some trees for which it is the right time to take cuttings, such as willows, oaks or poplars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, a friend gave me some fruit that had been given to him by a third party who has a shrub in her neighbourhood that I understand is rather rare in our region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew neither the fruit nor the shrub in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after some research with the details I had been given, I found the poncirus trifoliata, also called the hardy orange. The shrub is rather decorative like the Japanese quince, but like the latter, it is possible to use its fruit to make jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.gardenia.net\/plant\/poncirus-trifoliata-hardy-orange<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poncirus is a citrus fruit, hence its more common name of hardy orange. The fruit has the colour of a lemon, but is shaped and sized like a small clementine and tastes a bit like a grapefruit. The shrub, is covered in thorns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband and I are big fans of citrus marmalade so it seemed logical to try this type of jam with my poncirus fruits. No sooner said than done and I was able to taste this marmalade which I found very pleasant, I would even say that I became a fan. A little detail about the poncirus fruit: it’s full of seeds. I kept a lot of them to sow to see if I could grow the shrubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, all my seeds grew and I ended up with lots of plants. I transplanted some in late spring into pots to grow them, but they didn’t like the summer and almost all died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it’s the season, I’m going to try to plant some of the remaining plants directly into the ground to see if they will survive the winter. It seems that poncirus is the only citrus fruit that can withstand frost down to -15\u00b0 C, so my plants should hold up as long as we don’t have a very hard winter. Nowadays with climate change, Sologne\u2019s winters have become milder and it is very rare that the temperature drops below -10\u00b0 C and it never lasts long. The ground rarely freezes, so my little plants should survive. They may have as much chance to do so in the ground as in their already too small planter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will plant the rest of them in the spring, in March as indicated on the websites which talk about this shrub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FRAN\u00c7AIS <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab \u00c0 la Sainte Catherine, tout bois prend racine <\/strong>\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bien que la St Catherine soit d\u00e9j\u00e0 pass\u00e9e ; c\u2019\u00e9tait le 25 Novembre ; ce jour n\u2019est que le point de d\u00e9part des plantations hivernales des arbres et arbustes \u00e0 racines nues (plants qui ont pouss\u00e9 en pleine terre pour les rendre plus vigoureux).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si on veut planter \u00e0 cette p\u00e9riode, il est quand m\u00eame conseill\u00e9 de bien faire attention que le temps ne soit pas trop froid, qu\u2019il ne g\u00e8le pas et que le sol ne soit pas trop humide. Au jardin potager, il semblerait que planter des arbres fruitiers soit une bonne id\u00e9e, ainsi que les petits arbustes \u00e0 fruits rouges comme les cassissiers, les groseilliers ou les framboisiers. On peut aussi planter quelques herbes aromatiques comme la sauge ou le thym, de la rhubarbe et de la vigne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En suite il faut s\u00e9lectionner le bon endroit avec le sol et l\u2019ensoleillement recommand\u00e9s pour l\u2019arbre ou l\u2019arbuste. Planter un arbre qui a besoin d\u2019\u00eatre dans un sol drainant, dans un sol \u00e0 caract\u00e8re humide, m\u00eame \u00e0 la Sainte Catherine, n\u2019a que peu de chance de survivre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au del\u00e0 du jardin potager il y a certains arbres pour lesquels c\u2019est le bon moment pour faire des bouturages, comme les saules, les ch\u00eanes ou les peupliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, un ami m\u2019a donn\u00e9 des fruits qui lui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9 par une tierce personne qui a dans son voisinage un arbuste plut\u00f4t rare dans notre r\u00e9gion d\u2019apr\u00e8s ce que j\u2019ai compris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je ne connaissais ni les fruits, ni l\u2019arbuste en question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais apr\u00e8s quelques recherches avec les d\u00e9tails qui m\u2019avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9, j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 le poncirier, ou poncirus trifoliata, aussi appel\u00e9 citronnier \u00e9pineux. L\u2019arbuste est plut\u00f4t d\u00e9coratif comme le cognassier du Japon, mais tout comme ce dernier, il est possible d\u2019utiliser ses fruits pour faire de la confiture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/nature.jardin.free.fr\/arbuste\/nmauric_poncirus_trifoliata.htm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le poncirier est un agrume d\u2019o\u00f9 son nom plus commun de citronnier \u00e9pineux. Le fruit a la couleur de celle du citron, mais par contre il a la forme et la taille d\u2019une petite cl\u00e9mentine et en ce qui concerne le go\u00fbt, \u00e7a se rapproche un peu du pamplemousse. L\u2019arbuste comme son nom le sugg\u00e8re est couvert d\u2019\u00e9pines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon mari et moi sommes de grands fan de marmelades d\u2019agrumes donc il me paraissait logique de tester ce type de confiture avec mes poncires. Sit\u00f4t dit, sit\u00f4t fait et j\u2019ai pu d\u00e9guster cette marmelade que j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9e tr\u00e8s agr\u00e9able, je dirais m\u00eame que je suis devenue fan. Un petit d\u00e9tail avec les fruits du poncirier, ils sont remplis de p\u00e9pins. J\u2019en ai gard\u00e9 plein pour les semer pour voir si je pouvais faire pousser les fameux arbustes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et bien tous mes p\u00e9pins ont pouss\u00e9 et je me suis retrouv\u00e9e avec beaucoup de plants. J\u2019en ai transplant\u00e9 \u00e0 la fin du printemps, dans des pots, pour les faire grandir, mais ils n\u2019ont pas aim\u00e9 l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 et sont presque tous morts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vu que c\u2019est la saison, je vais essayer de planter une partie des plants qui restent, direct dans le sol pour voir si ils survivront cet hiver. Il semblerait que le poncire est le seul agrume qui peut r\u00e9sister au gel jusqu\u2019\u00e0 -15\u00b0, donc mes plants devraient r\u00e9sister tant que nous n\u2019avons pas un hiver tr\u00e8s rude. De nos jours avec le changement climatique, les hivers solognots sont devenus plus doux et il est bien rare que la temp\u00e9rature descende en dessous de -10\u00b0 et \u00e7a ne dure jamais longtemps. Le sol n\u2019a que rarement l\u2019occasion de geler, donc mes petits plants devraient subsister. Ils ont peut-\u00eatre autant de chance de le faire dans le sol que dans leur jardini\u00e8re qui est d\u00e9j\u00e0 bien trop petite pour eux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je planterai le reste de ces plants au printemps, au mois de mars comme c\u2019est indiqu\u00e9 sur les sites qui parlent de cet arbuste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
