These varieties can be found wild in nature, which grow there thanks to birds, lovers of delicious fruits.

The listed varieties of irgi are suitable for the Moscow region, they perfectly “take care of themselves”, the main thing is to plant the tree correctly. They are not afraid of drought, strong winds and almost any unfavorable conditions, and all thanks to the root system, which penetrates to a depth of about 2 m and spreads within a radius of 2-2.5 m.It provides the plant with all the essential nutrients and moisture it needs.

What kind of different varieties of irgi have, look at the photo:

Consider a more detailed description of irgi varieties with photos.

This shrub has many trunks, grows up to 4 m. It has a smooth bark, dark gray, oval, sometimes almost round leaves, which makes them similar to alder leaves. In autumn they turn bright yellow. It blooms in white with a slight fragrance. The berries are very sweet, large, dark blue with a purple tint.

Taking into account the description of the species of irgi, the best varieties for the Moscow region are Canadian or round-leaved. But you need to pay attention to some of the nuances. Since this shrub has a powerful root system, you will have to deal with shoots all the time, so you should not plant this shrub near paths and buildings or decorative landscape elements. You should also not do this for the reason that falling fruits leave dark spots.

Planting and caring for the irga in the open field

Before you start cultivating this shrub, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of planting and caring for an irga. She loves sunshine and soil that is rich in organic additives. Depending on the preferences and characteristics of leaving it, you can form a bush or tree.

Planting and caring for irga in the open field have their own characteristics. For planting, seedlings, 1-2 years old, are taken, planted in prepared holes, with a diameter of about 50 cm.The distance between the plants should not be less than 1 m.After that, the steams are abundantly watered, mulched with peat or humus. Above the ground, a trunk about 10 cm long with 4-5 healthy buds remains.

Some stages of planting irgi, see the photo:

How to plant irgu in spring

The peculiarities of irgi planting and care in the Moscow region correspond to the general recommendations for planting and caring for trees in general. It is advisable to plant seedlings of this shrub in the autumn. According to some experts, this can be done in March, when the weather conditions are favorable.

It is necessary to prune weak branches on time. In general, there should not be more than 2-3 healthy shoots on one trunk. At 3 years old, the shrub should have about 15 branches. Older plants can be rejuvenated periodically.

Planting irgi and care features, see the photo below, which shows the annual method of dealing with the growth of this shrub:

Young shoots, or as they are also called "zero", should be removed not above the surface of the earth, but near the root of the plant, except for those from which the shrub is subsequently formed or with the help of which it is subsequently rejuvenated.

How to grow irgu from seeds

Planting irgi and care, as well as reproduction is not a difficult process, not only for professional gardeners, but also for beginners too. The shrub can be propagated by seedlings, which can be purchased or grown from seeds. The seeds are planted in fertilized beds and then watered well. When the seedlings reach 1-2 years of age, they are planted in a permanent place.

Growing irgi does not require special skills, the main thing is that the plant is accepted when planting, further care consists in feeding, forming a crown, pruning weak, old or dry branches, thinning the bush.

If you are interested in how to plant irga from seeds, you need to know how to properly prepare them for planting. To prepare the seed, ripe fruits are taken, wiped and washed with cool water. Bad seeds usually float to the surface. The washing procedure should be carried out until the good ones remain at the bottom.

You need to know how to properly plant irgu using seeds if you choose this breeding method. It is necessary to sow about 300 seeds into a groove one meter long to a depth of 1.5-2 cm. Sowing is carried out in early spring, sometimes at the end of winter, and the climb of the gatherings can be expected for almost a year.

Every gardener should know how to grow irgu when the seeds have sprouted. Parostki, in which 3-5 full-fledged leaves grow, are cut open and grown up to 1-2 years of age. For bushes grown from seeds, uniformity is characteristic. This is presumably caused by asexual reproduction (apomixis).

Propagation of irgi by cuttings and root shoots

The easiest way to reproduce irgi is to use shoots from the roots for planting, which have to be harvested every year. This bush requires an area of ​​2.5-4 m for life, 1.5-2 m are left between future shrubs. In nurseries, seedlings are planted in a checkerboard pattern.

The work consists in choosing suitable basal processes, the diameter of which should not be less than 0.5 cm, and the length of 10-15 cm. It is important that the roots are healthy and well developed. The dug-in steams are well watered so that the humidity is constantly at a high level.

For this method of reproduction, shoots that are not more than 6 years old are suitable. It is suitable for amateur gardeners who are interested in how to plant an irga in the spring by dividing the bushes, because no more than 4-6 full cuttings are obtained. In nurseries, preference is given to seed propagation in order to obtain a larger number of seedlings.

Reproduction of irgi by cuttings consists in choosing branches that are no more than one year old and whose length is 12-15 cm. It is necessary to prepare a special greenhouse, with a special soil mixture. The bottom is covered with a layer of gravel (30-40 cm), then a mixture of light soil with humus (25 cm) is poured, the top is covered with sand (4-5 cm).

The planted and well-watered cuttings are covered with foil until the roots appear. This usually happens around the 25th day, depending on the variety. To speed up the appearance of roots on cuttings, they are treated with special solutions. Rooted cuttings are planted in open ground the next year.

Despite the fact that growing irgi and caring for this shrub does not require much effort, it is still necessary to carry out some standard actions, such as feeding, pruning and protecting from pests and birds. Birds love to feast on ripe fruits very much, therefore, when you want to get a harvest, you need to cover the bush with a fine mesh.

Growing and caring for irga consists in the correct application of top dressing in the summer. The nutritional composition should be liquid, prepared from ammonium nitrate, 50 g of which is used per bush or 5 liters of 10% emulsion of bird droppings. Fertilizing is necessary at night, when abundant watering was made or it was raining.

How to properly prune irgu in spring

In order not to harm the bush, you need to familiarize yourself with the information on how to cut the irga in the spring.You can start shaping the crown from 3-4 years of age. During this period, it is important to remove the basal processes, leaving 1-2 shoots that have grown near the main trunks of the bush.

Let's consider further how to properly cut irgu to rejuvenate it. "Rejuvenating" pruning is done when the shrub is 8-10 years old. The condition of the bush indicates the need for rejuvenation, such as:

• a small increase in a year (no more than 10 cm);
• increased density of the bush;
• the appearance of weak and dry twigs.

If you do not rejuvenate, then the bush begins to lose its decorative effect, bear fruit worse and is exposed to pests. How to prune an irgu to rejuvenate a shrub:

• thinning (remove all unnecessary, weak shoots);
• pruning branches that are too elongated;
• shortening of long healthy shoots.

As a result, no more than 10-15 strong branches should remain. The cut site is processed with garden varnish.

Every amateur gardener, using the basic information, will know how to care for the irga correctly, what needs to be done at each "age" period of the plant, what actions to take at different times of the year. With careful care, it can grow and bear fruit safely for up to 70 years.

How often there is an irga in dachas ... Almost all varieties are suitable for the Moscow region, since the berry is picky. Everyone knows this bush of the Rosaceae family under different names, but the essence does not change. Children and birds love him alike. Over time, the overgrown bush begins to take up a lot of space, which is not very good for a small area. But this disadvantage is compensated by a huge harvest of delicious blue berries. But it is worth picking up scissors, and the tree obediently turns into a beautifully formed ball or cube; this way you can make a charming hedge that will delight you with the harvest. So, the topic of our conversation is Irga and its varieties. Let's get started!

Pros and cons

You need to figure this out if you decide whether you need an irga on your site. Varieties for the Moscow region - all as one - very tenacious and prolific. They will not dry out in the hottest summer and will not freeze out in the harsh winter, and from spring to autumn they will diligently occupy your site with young shoots. Therefore, you need to remember to keep an eye on your garden. Moreover, watering and feeding are far from the first role, the most important thing is to restrain the growth of the irgi, form its crown and shape the bushes docked in a row. But with the overgrowth it will be more difficult, it will still crawl out, no matter how much you destroy it.

However, many gardeners still want irga to grow in them. Varieties for the Moscow region are surprisingly durable and hardy plants that, despite nothing, will yield a crop.

Spring in the garden

About two weeks after the appearance of green leaves, it releases delicate silvery flowers of irga. Varieties for the Moscow region are famous for their early harvests, and fragrant flowers feed many insects. The plant we are considering does not differ in the variety of species, usually it is either a round-leaved or spiky irga, although there are much more of them. And each is more or less productive, and also differs in shape and size. However, if you are replanting the area with fruit shrubs and trees, then you will probably be interested to learn more about these varieties.

Irga canadian

Since we are limited by the scope of the article, we will note only the best varieties of irgi for the Moscow region. First, I would like to consider the Canadian variety, which is distinguished by its high decorative properties. The bush has a natural rounded shape with drooping branches. The plant is especially beautiful during the flowering period. By the way, irgu can be grown as a bush or as a tree, it all depends on your skills. In the first case, it turns into a luxurious bush up to 6 meters high.Keep in mind that the irga in the garden area should be available for harvesting, so it makes sense to form a shrub lower. Thin drooping shoots are beautiful at the time of flowering: they are literally covered with white flowers. And then they become completely gray from berries.

Irga round-leaved

We continue to consider what an irga is. The types and care are not too different, but there are still certain traits characteristic of each variety. This variety grows up to three meters without pruning. It grows almost throughout the entire territory of Russia, and bears excellent fruit in the Moscow region. Leaves are oval, serrated. Differs in good productivity, as well as amazing resistance. It is even very difficult to remove it from the site on purpose.

Irga alder-leaved

This is a multi-stem shrub, its height is up to 4 meters. The leaves are rounded, yellow in autumn. The flowers are white, with a faint aroma. The fruits are purple, very sweet and quite large. It can produce up to 10 kg of berries per season, which can be attributed to good results. The tree itself is unpretentious, resistant to various diseases. Another species, called the blood-red irga, is very similar to her. This is a shrub up to 3 meters high. Its leaves and flowers are oblong, the berries are sweet, dark, very pleasant to the taste.

Large-fruited varietal plants

The work of breeders does not stand still, and today such species and varieties of irgi as Alytaglou are demonstrated at exhibitions. Its peculiarity is the white fruit. Another good variety for the Moscow region is the large-fruited Forestburg and the very fragrant Pembina. Other types of irgi are presented at the exhibitions, distinguished by record-breaking large berries: Moonlake, Nelson, Slate, Regan and others. We will not dwell in more detail on the features of caring for them, since the opportunity to purchase these plants is still very small. Usually old, good, proven varieties are sold in stores.

Bush care

Have you decided to plant an irgu in your summer cottage? What good variety to choose, you can ask in the next issue of "Dachnik". Most often, only the varieties listed above will be presented there. By the way, they can be borrowed from neighbors completely free of charge, because the sprouts of irga give a lot. This is a completely unpretentious plant that will withstand even the most severe frosts.

However, she also has her own requirements for the conditions of detention. Irga will survive in any conditions, but it shows the maximum yield on fertile, loamy soil. The plant likes well-lit areas, but will grow even in full shade. He is completely calm about drought. Planting irgi along fences can be a great design idea. This will give it a special decorative effect, especially if you cut the bushes beautifully.

Shrub planting

Irga can be planted both in spring and autumn. At the same time, choose seedlings that have reached the age of 1-2 years, because fruits from younger ones will have to wait long enough. The hole for one plant must be at least 80 cm in diameter. After planting, do not forget to water the seedling abundantly. It remains to mulch the soil around - and you can leave the plant alone. It takes root almost immediately, it is for this quality that many gardeners fell in love with irga. Grooming and breeding is intuitively simple. The only thing that is required for a good harvest is regular watering.

Bush formation

In order for the plant to look good and not obstruct too much usable area of ​​the site, but at the same time it was convenient for you to pick berries, you need to regularly prune. First of all, you need to make the bush as strong as possible. He will need care in the form of sawing out old trunks, removing long and weak branches, and cutting off damaged shoots. To emphasize the decorativeness of the planting, you can form the irgu as a multi-stem bush. To do this, you need to leave only strong shoots, and cut off the weak ones.In this case, you will need to follow a number of rules. In the first three years of the plant's life, leave all strong shoots, then annually control their number, leaving a new one in the place of the remote. A fully formed bush consists of 10-15 branches of different ages. After that, care will consist of an autumn inspection, removal of broken branches and excess shoots. If you see that the growth and fruiting of the bush is deteriorating, then once every 4 years you can perform a rejuvenating procedure, that is, cut off all 2-4-year-old shoots.

Reproduction

If you have enough time, you can try growing irgu from seeds. To do this, you need to collect ripe berries, select seeds from them and rinse them from the pulp. Immediately after washing (preferably in September), the seeds should be sown into the soil. They will sprout next year or a year later.

However, it is much easier to use vegetative methods. Most often, the plant is propagated by root shoots. What is needed for this? Dig out the growth and select seedlings 10-15 cm long, with well-developed roots. An excellent result is shown by those, the thickness of the shoots of which is from 0.5 cm or more. They should be planted vertically. Such seedlings need constant care in the form of abundant watering. Young irgi bushes can be propagated by division, but this method is not suitable for old plantings. You can also use the cuttings procedure. To do this, cut the annual shoots 12-15 cm long. After cutting, the material must be planted in a greenhouse. If the air is humid enough, then roots will soon appear, and after a month it will be possible to plant young seedlings. However, it will give roots no more than 20% of the total number of cuttings.

Top dressing

For the harvest to please you every year, you need to feed your plant. To do this, you can use organic fertilizers (manure) in the fall and mineral fertilizers in the spring. Like all fruit trees, irga is very responsive to feeding, since when growing a large number of berries, a large amount of nutrients is expended. If the soil is very poor, then the bush will shed some of the fruits, and those that remain will be small, and there will be much less useful trace elements in them.

Pests and diseases

Irga rarely suffers from diseases, most often it is only slightly affected by leaf-eating insects, which do not cause much harm. Birds do much more damage to the crop - they love to feast on berries. However, usually the irgi bush gives so many fruits that it will be enough for both you and your feathered friends. If the bush is small, then you can tighten it with a net so that it is difficult for the birds to get to the berries.

If you notice spots that look like rust on the leaves of the irgi, then this is a clear sign of a fungal disease. With moniliniosis, brown rot forms on the fruit, and the crop will be ruined. Nectric necrosis of the bark leads to the drying out of shoots and branches, which can contribute to the death of the entire bush. In addition, it is not uncommon to find the defeat of the irgi by the gray tinder fungus, which causes a white, fibrous, putrefactive plaque on the trunks of the old irgi. To protect your garden, it is necessary to timely process the treatment with insecticides and antifungal drugs. One procedure in early spring will help avoid all these problems, which means you will calmly enjoy delicious and healthy berries.

 

Irga is a winter-hardy berry crop that can withstand the harsh weather conditions of the northern regions and perfectly take root in central Russia. Irga is a versatile solution for any garden. The plant will not only provide you with a rich harvest of healthy berries, but also play the role of a spectacular hedge. Several types of irgi are grown in the culture. All of them are of some interest for gardeners, but they are not without drawbacks - the plants form abundant root shoots, and the weight of the berries is small.To improve the characteristics of plants, breeders have done painstaking work and have developed a lot of interesting varieties.

   

More than fifteen species of irgi grow in nature, but only four have found application in culture:
✿ Irga spikelet is grown as a hedge. The plant does not differ in great decorativeness, but it perfectly tolerates heat, cold, air pollution.
✿ Irga blood-red differs from other species in the bright color of the bark. Due to the great flexibility of the shoots, they are often used for weaving baskets.
✿ Irga canadensis is of the greatest value as a fruit plant - the berries are so sweet that you literally have to win the harvest from the birds. In addition, the Canadian Irga is extremely decorative. From curved grayish shoots with elongated light green leaves, the plant forms a beautiful wide crown. In autumn, the color of the leaves changes - the bushes create a spectacular bright red accent in the garden.
✿ Irga alder-leaved is also of interest as a fruit plant - the berries have a fairly dense skin under which juicy sweet pulp is hidden. Birds hardly peck at the crop, since it is quite difficult to get to the seeds. This type of irgi is very decorative and is characterized by increased resistance to adverse environmental factors.
