Heister (plant)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heister (derived from the Middle High German heister = young beech trunk) is a plant classification used in forestry and horticulture . It stands for young, but already twice transplanted, 1.25 to 2.50 m high deciduous trees (mostly used in tree nurseries ) .

Heister have lateral branches, but no crown. However, they must have a straight leading shoot (several species are also allowed) and the side shoots should already be branched, their development must be typical of the species. According to the relevant quality regulations, the maximum standing time in the nursery after the last transplanting must not exceed three years.

Heister are often divided according to size into quarter- heister (also strong loden ) (1.25 to 1.50 m), half-heister (1.50 to 2.00 m), full-heister (2.00 to 2.50 m) and strong heister (over 2.50 m). Heister, which are over 2.50 m high and have already been transplanted three times, are referred to as trunk bushes and must be transplanted at least every 4th year. Heister, which have a below average pronounced branching of the side shoots, are called light Heister .

Plants 0.5 to 1 m high are called loden . Similar to the smaller Heistern Loden be as half Loden and larger than Stark Loden referred.
