Bush height — Physocarpus opulifolius
Physocarpus opulifolius (L.) Maxim.
A morphometric parameter reflecting the distance from the soil surface to the highest point of the crown, which in wild-type specimens reaches 3 meters, while in cultivated forms it varies from compact to tall.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Ninebark, where this is mentioned in the description.
The bush height of Physocarpus opulifolius is measured as the distance from the soil surface to the tips of the shoots; in addition, the crown diameter and annual growth rate are considered to assess the plant's dimensions. The species is characterized as tall, capable of reaching 3 meters in height in the absence of regular pruning.
Modern cultivars differ significantly in this indicator, being divided into tall, which are close to the original species parameters, and compact, with a height of 1.5–2 meters. In cultivation, this trait is of key importance for site selection in plantings and for planning schemes for establishing hedges.
Height regulation is carried out by means of formative pruning, to which the crop shows a high regenerative capacity. Specifically, to control dimensions and crown density, pruning at a height of 40–50 cm is widely used, allowing for targeted alteration of the bush's architectonics.
