Classmates
Elderberry Sambucus ) - Shrubs or small trees (3-5 m), many of which differ in decorative fruits. Elderberry red or brushed ( Sambucus racemosa ) has various decorative forms, as well as unpretentious and funky mice. Black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) also has decorative forms and is eaten fruits. Black elderberry, although less rigid, is still quite stable, especially when it descends to a place protected from cold winds. Easily restored in case of freezing shoots. Similar to Canadian elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) with decorative forms. This is a harder plant. The species listed are resistant to some degree of shade and moisture-like. Prefer rich soils. Well tolerated pruning including "on the stump". The elderly are spread by cutting with seeds and cultural forms.
What black and red elderberry looks like, how to bloom a bush (with photos)
Look at the elderly, look at the photos suggested below and admire its unique beauty:
This typical example of the honeysuckle family is a very attractive plant supported by unusual beliefs. Healers think that there is a talisman from evil spirits, an improvised material for making medicine. An elderberry, of course, knows every summer resident, a peasant and even a megapolis inhabitant who is far from horticultural. There are some kinds of old and old palettes known to about 40, the characteristic aroma of the greens scares annoying insects (eg flies), rodents and other pests. Shrubs are usually planted in the field of septic tanks and compost pits, street toilets, heaps of manure. In addition to common red and black elderberry, other varieties of this plant are also grown, for example:
Canadian
blue
Siberia
herbaceous
in Zimbol
Different varieties of blueberries look at photos in each region:
In addition to red, herbaceous aged - inedible plants, the composition includes cyanoglycosides. Black elderly, on the contrary, are known for their healing qualities. Sometimes it is not easy to distinguish the poisonous fruits of red elderberry from medicinal black fruits. If there is no definitive interruption as to which plant is in front of your eyes, you should not risk it. Photographs of black and red elderberry are presented below, check them out to see important differences:
Most of the elderberry varieties are very suitable for the Moscow region, even in the North-West. If you provide the plant with reliable insulation for the winter, it is not affected by severe frosts. Ornamental plants are cultivated to decorate personal lands, country houses, gardens and park areas. Elderly people are in great demand in landscape design because the deciduous mass and flowers of this plant can be extraordinarily beautiful, in a variety of colors and shapes.
Reproduction of elderberry cuts and other forms
The elderly are raised by grafting, sowing seeds, splitting bushes or forming sheets. Elderberry cuttings reproduction - the most famous and convenient method. Cuttings are lignified and used as young. At least 3 internodes must contain several top pages. The material is harvested in June-July. Cut into adult plant segments (10-12 cm), placed in a jar-covered, sandbag mixture. The part of the root that will contact the ground, preferably before the process root force sowing - this composition will occasionally accelerate the rooting process. Requires regular watering. In autumn, seedlings are sent to open ground. Seeds are collected in late October, sowing is done immediately or in the spring. If the procedure is planned for spring, seeds should be prepared appropriately:
Soak 3-6 days in advance;
water is changed daily;
the seeds are then mixed with wet sand, placed in an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator for 50-60 days.
Sow seeds to a depth of 2-3 cm while maintaining the distance between rows. Seedlings grow significantly in the first summer season (up to 0.5-0.6 m) and are transplanted into permanent habitats at the beginning of the first year. Autumn cultivation does not require pre-treatment of seeds.
The key features of this aged planting and care method are shown in the photo - review them to make all the steps correctly:
How to multiply an elderly to get the survival rate of almost 100 percent of a young plant? The best option is to create layers added from an adult bush in autumn or spring. The branch of a 2-3 year old plant was folded and opened in a ditch dug the day before. Compost is added to the groove bottom. Shoots, leaving the top of the branch on the ground (after cutting 10 cm after planting), drip-tightly added, firmly fixed with a metal bracket. The plant needs frequent watering, especially until the root is released. Dividing of the root system is carried out in the autumn. A large, perennial shrub excavated into equal sections. This requires a saw or a sharp ax. Cutters / saws are stained with ash, immediately planted in prepared trenches or containers (if spring planting is planned).
How to plant elderberry
In order to get a strong, beautiful plant, you need to know how to grow older people correctly. Shrub is not particularly selective about the soil on which it grows, but should not be preferred, with a pH of 6.0-6.5, sod-podzolic soil. The excess acidity of the soil is neutralized by calcification (making dolomite flour). The plant can withstand excessive moisture and moderate shade, but it certainly cannot withstand drought - grows weak, loses its decorative effect and has the ability to die at all. This should be taken into account when choosing a place for planting and more carefully. It is recommended to draw attention to the open, sunny, eastern area of the site. I looked at the photograph as a well-kept, well-kept elderberry bush, and look at the photograph:
Shrubs are planted in autumn or spring, depending on the breeding method. In any case, dig a hole in advance (one month before the intended landing). The depth of the pit is 0.8 m and around 0.5 m. The ground from the upper layers of the channel is discarded in one direction and the deeper layers in another direction. At the bottom of the trench is the nutrient "pillow" consisting of these components:
soil excavated from surface layers;
7 kg high quality humus;
50 g. phosphates;
30 g. Potassium fertilizer.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Cover 2/3 of the bottom of the excavated pit. On the day of planting, the inside of the ditch is slightly loosened, the root part of the seedling is lowered here, sprinkled with soil previously extracted from the lower layers. Top sleep with residual fertilizer mixture. The trapped area around the body is irrigated with water (1-15 liters). When the liquid is sucked, a dowel is carefully attached to the seedling. See some of the main stages of an old black planting and caring for it in the future:
Although distinguished by plant assertiveness, it still requires some attention, but the bush cannot perform its decorative functions. The nature and quantity of maintenance measures depends on the season:
Spring. In March, there is a risk that the plant will suffer from temperature changes if the bark is heated by sunlight during the day and cools down quickly at night. All the forks are stained with lime mortar to prevent damage. If there are cracks or injuries caused by rodents on the body, all these “injuries yıkan should be washed with a solution of potassium permanganate covered with a garden curtain. Continue pruning on a thin and cold day. Dried, unhealthy, frozen shoots are subjected to screening. With the help of a secretary, you are given a clean look of the crown crown. Cutouts and cut-off points are treated with Nitrafen or Bordeaux liquid.
Summer. After flowering, special preparations are sprayed to the elderly to avoid damaging insects and powdery mildew. The soil is loosened and kept wet. In winter, the growth of basal shoots in frozen shrubs is activated. They are destroyed until the elderberry kendisini takes over “itself.
Autumn. Autumn means maintenance, watering, harvesting, preparation for winter. In September, medicinal fruits ripen in black elderberry, collected and processed appropriately. After that perform sanitary pruning. When the plant leaves the leaves, the fungicides are treated with insecticides. At the end of the month, they dig the soil around the trunk, heating the area with peat, humus or straw. Sometimes pre-fertilization.
Winter. To prevent root freezing, periodically snow around the trunks. Also make sure that the insulation mulch does not collapse.
A sufficient amount of water is needed for all types of elderberry: black, red, Canadian and others. Reduce watering frequency or eliminate it even during a rainy summer and when tree trunks mulch. Mulch (compost, straw, rotten manure) slows the rate of evaporation of moisture from the soil. At a particularly hot time, 10 liters of water is poured once a week under each bush.
