TIT TROFIMOV is a tree peony belonging to the Paeonia suffruticosa group, which includes natural and artificial hybrids and varieties of the Peony genus. These plants are characterized by thick, sparsely branched, and upright perennial shoots, which give them stability and decorative appeal. Tree peonies have a polyphyletic origin; their ancestors can be such species as Paeonia jishanensis, Paeonia rockii, and Paeonia ostii, as well as their hybrids. In the world, there are over a thousand varieties of tree peonies, the majority of which are concentrated in China.
Tree peonies, including the TIT TROFIMOV variety, are characterized by relative resistance to diseases and pests, which makes them easy to grow in a garden. However, the most dangerous disease for them is gray mold. To combat this disease, affected plants are recommended to be sprayed with solutions of potassium permanganate or copper sulfate, which helps preserve the health of the bush and extend its decorative period.
Tree peony reproduction is possible in several ways: seeds, layering, dividing adult bushes aged 5-6 years, and grafting. Such a diverse approach to reproduction allows gardeners to effectively grow and maintain the TIT TROFIMOV variety, ensuring its stable development and abundant flowering.
