Honeysuckle is an upright or creeping shrub. Currently, more than 190 species of honeysuckle are known, among which there are shrubs that bear fruit (edible or poisonous), as well as a variety of honeysuckle, used as an ornamental plant. Growing honeysuckle has become a favorite pastime for many gardeners. To get a good harvest, you need to select plant varieties taking into account the region and follow a few simple planting and care rules.

What is honeysuckle and its features

Most often, blue honeysuckle is grown in gardens and vegetable gardens - it is a deciduous shrub that grows up to 2.5 meters in height, with beautiful elliptical green leaves and spindle-shaped dark blue berries with a bluish bloom. Edible honeysuckle began to be grown on the territory of Russia in the 20th century, but even now not all gardeners know about it.

Honeysuckle honeysuckle is used as an ornamental plant

Honeysuckle gives the earliest berries: it ripens in early June, even earlier than garden strawberries. While older varieties are reminiscent of blueberries and have a bitter taste, most modern varieties lack this bitterness and contain a large amount of sugars. The peculiarity of honeysuckle berries in its ability to clean capillaries, therefore, it is of the greatest value for people of the older generation, however, it is recommended for use in food for everyone, since it has no contraindications.

A handful of honeysuckle berries eaten for breakfast provides the body with a daily intake of iron and B vitamins

Honeysuckle fruits contain 8% sugar, from 1 to 5 organic acids, pectins, tannins, P-active compounds (antacyans, catechins), provitamins A1, B2, B1, vitamin C, as well as various trace elements: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus , sodium, copper, iron, iodine, aluminum, barium, silicon, strontium, manganese.

Features of honeysuckle:

1. Honeysuckle is a cross-pollinated plant, that is, several bushes of different varieties are needed for fruiting. For example, the Bakcharsky giant variety is the best pollinator for the Pride Bakchara, Silginka, Chulymskaya varieties. When planting several bushes of the same variety, you will get abundant flowering without berries.

   For good fruiting, it is necessary to plant nearby honeysuckle bushes of various varieties

2. The second characteristic of honeysuckle is the flaking of the bark. Already on young branches, cracking and subsequent lagging of the bark from the trunk are noticeable.

   Even young twigs of honeysuckle can peel off the bark.

3. Honeysuckle yields only on young shoots, so you should not get carried away with pruning if you do not want to be left without berries.
4. A honeysuckle bush can grow in one place for up to 20 years and can withstand a drop in temperature in winter to -40 ° C.
5. It blooms very first, and the flowers can withstand frosts down to -6 oC.

Where and when is it better to plant a plant

Honeysuckle buds bloom in late April - early May, so when planting in spring, you should adhere to these dates. If you got the seedling very early, when the soil on the site is not yet ready, then you can plant it in a large pot and then transfer it into the planting pit. If a seedling with a closed root system (in a pot), then you can plant the whole season.

It is better to buy honeysuckle seedlings with a closed root system.

Autumn planting of honeysuckle begins in mid-September and, depending on the region of residence, can last until mid-November.

Seat selection

When choosing a landing site, you need to consider the following features:

• Honeysuckle is considered an unpretentious shrub, especially for the northern regions of Russia, where there are frequent rains and not very hot summers. In such areas, honeysuckle is best planted in sunny areas without constantly blowing winds.
• In the southern regions, it is better to plant honeysuckle in partial shade or in the sun, but with constant watering.In dry areas without watering, the bush will be short, weak and with a small number of berries.
• Swampy areas with very close groundwater or acidic soil will not work either. If it is impossible to find a more favorable place, plant it on high ridges.
• The soil under the honeysuckle should be light, fertile, neutral acidity.

Honeysuckle planting scheme

Since honeysuckle is cross-pollinated, the bushes should be placed side by side. Three or four bushes can be planted in a row, and more can be planted in groups in several rows.

A small number of honeysuckle bushes can be planted in a row, keeping the distance between the plants 1-2 meters

The distance between honeysuckle bushes in planting will depend on the variety, since there are both large spreading bushes and more compact ones. But most often, from 100 to 120 cm is left between the bushes, the same amount is worth retreating from the fence. When planting in multiple rows, make up to 2 meters between rows. When using honeysuckle as a hedge, the holes are placed at a distance of 50 cm from each other.

Neighbors for honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is rarely damaged by various pests, so it can be planted next to other shrubs, but it especially likes the neighborhood with black currants. In the near-stem circle, you should also not plant any plants, since the root system of honeysuckle is superficial.

Sapling selection

On sale you can often find both seedlings from local nurseries and imported ones. However, the new and the best are the varieties bred in the Bakcharsky nursery located near Tomsk. Plants 2-3 years old with a good root system are considered the most suitable seedlings. Before planting, the roots should be soaked in water for 1-2 hours with diluted Kornevin or HB 101.

Planting honeysuckle correctly

Due to the structure of the root system, honeysuckle is planted slightly differently than other shrubs:

1. The planting hole is dug shallow and wide: 35 * 50 cm, the roots of perennial weeds are carefully selected.

   A planting pit is made 50-60 cm wide, and 35 cm deep

2. Pour a bucket of compost or humus, 100 grams of superphosphate and half a liter of ash. On heavy clay soils, additionally add 1 bucket of sand, on acidic - from 200 to 400 grams of lime, and on sandy - coconut substrate or hydrogel to retain moisture.

   Mineral fertilizers, humus, ash are introduced into the planting pit

3. A dense mound is made in the pit, on which the seedling is placed so that the root collar is at the level of the soil. If a seedling with an open root system, then the roots must be spread out along the slopes of the hill. A seedling with a closed root system must be removed from the pot and, slightly straightening the roots, put on a hill or in a planting hole.

   A seedling with a closed root system can simply be placed in the planting hole, while the root collar should be at ground level

4. We fill the hole with soil and tamp it, pressing the soil to the roots.
5. Pour 1-2 buckets of water on top and immediately mulch with grass, straw, wood chips, newspaper, cardboard or just dry soil. This stage is very important, as the soil should not dry out.

   The planted honeysuckle should be mulched immediately with grass.

Transplanting a bush to a new location

Honeysuckle tolerates transplantation well. The best time for this is from July to October. Young small bushes can be dug out with a large clod of earth and transferred to a new place, while large bushes should be trimmed first, shortened or cut out old branches, and only then transplanted.

Planting honeysuckle in the regions

Depending on where you live, there may be some differences in the planting of honeysuckle.

Landing in Belarus

The desired date for planting honeysuckle in the Republic of Belarus is the end of summer and autumn. The place of cultivation is the sun, it will bear little fruit in the shade. The zoned varieties include Goluboe Vereteno, Lakomka, Nizhegorodskaya early, Morena and Vasilievskaya.Due to the long and warm autumn, honeysuckle in Belarus often blooms in November, and sometimes in winter, so it is recommended to choose varieties with a long dormant period.

Honeysuckle variety Blue Spindle is distinguished by medium-sized berries of a sour-sweet taste with a slight bitterness

Landing in the suburbs

For landing, a bright and sunny place is chosen, with neutral soil and no blowing winds. The best varieties for the Moscow region are Chosen One, Nymph, Morena, Silginka.

Landing in Siberia

For planting honeysuckle in Siberia, you should choose three-year-old seedlings - they are better acclimatized. The planting pit is prepared in advance, and if there is close groundwater, drainage is made from broken bricks or cobblestones. In this case, the hole itself must be dug at least 50 cm deep. The best time to plant honeysuckle is also considered early autumn, and in spring it is good to plant in rainy weather or with constant watering.

For a successful wintering in the Siberian region, it is impossible to feed the honeysuckle with nitrogen fertilizers after mid-June. They make exclusively potassium-phosphorus fertilizing, and it is even better to use ash. Suitable varieties are Berel, Fire Opal, Sirius, Blue Spindle, Cinderella, Blue Bird, Iliada.

Landing in the Urals

In the Urals, honeysuckle also prefers to grow in the sun, with the exception of the Southern Urals, where in summer the soil temperature can heat up to 50 ° C - in such areas it should be planted in partial shade, but not in full shade from a house or a barn. In especially hot years, you can stretch a construction mesh over the plantings, which will reduce the energy of the sun, and the honeysuckle will be good enough. In summer, in arid places, watering is required, especially in early June, when the berries begin to sing. The best varieties include the following: Yugan, Kamchadalka, Bakcharsky giant, Bakcharskaya, Maria, Nymph, Blue spindle, Blue bird, Titmouse.

Honeysuckle does not need shelter for the winter.

Gardeners reviews

Honeysuckle is rightfully considered one of the most useful berries, you can make wonderful jams, jams, compotes from it. Berries are eaten fresh, frozen for the winter, ground with sugar. When planting, be sure to take into account the peculiarity of honeysuckle to bear fruit only when cross-pollinated with other varieties of this plant and plant at least three bushes.

Which berry ripens earlier than others? Strawberry? No, honeysuckle! For many gardeners, it is still a wonder, nevertheless, it was known to European naturalists already in the 16th century. True, at that time no one considered it as a berry - only as an ornamental shrub. And although honeysuckle cannot compete with roses in beauty, it will overshadow it with its delicate refined aroma.

Tatiana Kurlovich, candidate of biological sciences, head. sector "Zhuravinka" of the laboratory of introduction and technology of berry plants of the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, honeysuckle is a favorite shrub. For three very good reasons. Firstly, honeysuckle is the most winter-hardy: the shrub can withstand frosts down to minus 50, and flowers - up to minus 5 - 7 degrees. There are no leaves, and the shrub is all in bloom. Secondly, the berries ripen at a record early date. Thirdly, the fruit tastes like blueberries. Since the berries ripen at the same time and crumble very quickly, some gardeners consider this a disadvantage. But, by leveling the ground under the bush and spreading cellophane, this minus can be easily turned into a plus: you don't even need to pick the crop.

What gardener doesn't dream of extending the fresh berry season? And not in the direction of late autumn, already rich in vegetables and fruits, but in the direction of early summer, when vitamins are in great deficit. And it is precisely for the very early ripening that honeysuckle is valued: it ripens 7 - 16 days before the strawberries and a month before the currants.Edible honeysuckle, or blue-fruit, as Siberians fondly call it, has stepped into the culture from the taiga. In nature, it has a wide variety of relatives: viburnum, elderberry and even snowberry - they all belong to the large family of honeysuckle.

As often happens in our homeland, at first, honeysuckle was loved not for its taste, but for its color. This unpretentious shrub appeared in St. Petersburg in the 18th century. Numerous gardens and parks were decorated with it - it blooms too beautifully.

“Thanks to tasty and healthy berries, 6 plant species have received the greatest economic value,” says Tatiana Kurlovich. - This is edible honeysuckle, Kamchatka, Altai, Turchaninov, Regel and Pallas. On their basis, more than 80 varieties of edible honeysuckle have been obtained.

Honeysuckle has the shortest period from bud opening to fruit ripening - 45 - 50 days. For comparison: for currants - 90 - 100, for sea buckthorn and rose hips - 100 - 120. As a rule, the bush has enough heat and precipitation for normal growth. Especially if the winter was snowy (like this one).

Honeysuckle blooms in early or mid-May. Her flowers are beautiful, light yellow or yellow, fragrant, collected in 2 - 4 or more in one inflorescence. Despite the fact that they are bisexual, pollen matures later than pistils, so the plant is poorly pollinated with its pollen. As in the case of any cross-pollinated plant, for better pollination and setting of honeysuckle fruits, it is necessary to have at least two (and preferably 3-4) different varieties on the site. Growing only one bush or several of the same variety, you will observe abundant flowering and ... a complete absence of fruits every year.

Honeysuckle blooms for a long time, 20 - 28 days: it all depends on the weather. Due to this, a significant part of the flowers "leaves" from the destructive return cold and early spring frosts. The earlier the plant blooms, the earlier the fruits will ripen.

The berries are varied in shape and color: dark purple or black with a strong bluish bloom, elongated, and also similar to a cylinder, barrel, bell, spindle, jug ...

Honeysuckle grows well and bears fruit in one place for 15 - 20 years. If she likes it there, of course. She is a light-loving culture: in partial shade under the crowns of trees, the berries become smaller. It is not worth planting it in depressions, so-called "saucers", where cold air accumulates, water stagnates or groundwater comes close.

Since the berries are poured and ripen in a very short time, the soil must be fertile enough. The roots of the plant are located at the very surface of the earth, and therefore suffer from the slightest fluctuations in temperature and humidity. To prevent this from happening, it is best to mulch the soil around the bush within a radius of 70 cm with a thick layer of organic matter - humus, peat, compost, straw, grass. Organic fertilizing before and after flowering will only benefit the crop.

If in the middle of the twentieth century they talked about the blueberry as a kind of outlandish culture, today this shrub is becoming more and more popular both in Belarus and abroad. In Europe, plantations of edible honeysuckle have already been established not for amateur, but for industrial value.

Honeysuckle does not fail after the most severe frosts, it also withstands spring morning frosts down to minus 8 degrees. Isn't that tenacity? Only a month passes from flowering to ripe fruits - is this not early maturity? If you still haven't feasted on berries with a piquant bitterness, then you have lost a lot! You should definitely start this berry culture in your garden, advises Tatiana Vladimirovna.

Beginning to grow honeysuckle, have patience: in the first 3 - 4 years, most varieties grow very slowly, only by the fourth year reaching 70 - 80 cm in height, and a little more than a meter in diameter. Don't worry, everything is in order with the plant: all efforts are thrown into the development of the roots. Then, intensive growth will begin and the aerial part.And by the age of 8 - 10 the bushes of vigorous forms will already be 2.5 - 3 m in height. Calculations of the potential productivity made by breeders show that, depending on the variety, up to 12 kg of berries can be obtained from the bush.

The best time to plant honeysuckle is early fall. In the spring, serious difficulties arise: the buds start growing early, and the earth is not yet ready for digging.

When choosing a plot for cultivation, remember that honeysuckle, although undemanding to the soil, grows poorly on heavy clay or light sandy soils. Dig holes for planting small: 30 - 50 cm deep and 50 - 60 cm wide. In each add 2 - 3 kg of rotted manure, mix it well with the ground, add 20 - 40 g of nitrogen, 50 - 60 g of potash and 60 - 70 phosphorus fertilizers.

Gently spread the roots and cover with light, well-fertilized soil with humus. Embed the root collar by 2 - 3 cm. Water the plantings abundantly, and then mulch with humus or compost soil. If the weather is dry, water the seedlings every 2 to 3 days.

Honeysuckle should be planted at a distance of 1.5 - 2 m from each other in a row, and there should be at least 2 - 3 m between rows.With a denser planting, the plants close together and create a solid green strip, which lowers their yield, makes it difficult to pick berries, tillage and care. Rows are best placed from south to north.

Caring for the bushes is reduced to loosening the soil around them and killing weeds.

In the year of planting in autumn or early winter, to avoid breaking branches in heavy snow, tie the bushes with strong twine.

During the season, honeysuckle needs to be fed three times. The first time is in early spring to ensure good annual growth and normal budding. We add 1 - 2 buckets of humus or compost mixed with 50 g of nitroammophoska or superphosphate under the bush. The second feeding with complex fertilizers is combined with watering and carried out in June. The third - in early October - for excellent wintering. Under the digging, we add 15 g of double superphosphate and potassium salt per 1 sq. m. Once every 2 - 3 years in the fall we give organic matter: 10 - 12 kg per one bush.

Honeysuckle, one might say, practically does not suffer from pests. Although among her enemies there are sawflies, leafworms, scale insects and moths, like currants. And therefore it is necessary to fight them in the same way. But it is best to use vegetable infusions of tomato or potato tops with the addition of tobacco and laundry soap.

Confiture

Crush washed berries with a wooden pestle and mix with sugar (1: 1). After it has melted, bring the mixture to a boil and place in the jars. The jam turns out to be jelly-like.

Glazed berries

Mash one egg white with a glass of sugar and 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice. When the mass thickens a little, dip the berries in it so that they are completely covered with glaze. After that, put them on a dish and let dry, and then put them in jars.

Marmalade

Rub the honeysuckle through a sieve, add granulated sugar (for 1 kg of berries - 600 g) and cook until the mass begins to lag behind the dishes. Then pour the mixture onto a dish soaked in cold water. After cooling the marmalade, cut into pieces and put in jars.

Jam

Prepare the berries, boil sugar syrup (for 1 kg of berries - 1.5 kg of sugar), pour them over the berries and leave for 5-6 hours, then cook until tender in one go, cool and put in jars.

The juice

Sort the fruits of the same ripeness, crush and fill with water (one glass per 1 kg). Put on fire and, bringing the temperature to 600C, warm up for 10 minutes. Then press or rub through a sieve. Boil the juice and roll up.

Abnormally warm October and November sometimes disrupt the natural rhythm of plants. And the fact that edible honeysuckle blooms in November is normal. The generative buds of this culture have too short a dormant period. Here they are, awakened by the warm autumn sun, and wake up.If the weather permits, they can bloom in winter. So, for example, it was in 2008.

Of course, there is little good in autumn bloom. Is it just extracurricular beauty. The flowers will disappear anyway, so do not rush to pick them off. They will not bloom again next year. Such out-of-season flowering will not seriously affect the winter hardiness of the plant. Natural selection can be considered. Of course, next year, honeysuckle will bear fewer fruits, but they will be larger.

In order not to worry about the harvest once again, it is best to plant plants with a long dormant period.

Help "SB"

Honeysuckle varieties, zoned in Belarus:

"Blue spindle", "early Nizhny Novgorod", "gourmet", "Vasilievskaya", "moraine", "large-fruited".

Species varieties of edible honeysuckle are propagated by seeds and semi-lignified cuttings, varietal varieties - only by cuttings.

Seeds are sown before winter or spring (in this case, stratification is necessary). But very often, during seed reproduction, the properties of the mother bush are not transmitted to the offspring.

It can also be propagated by layering, but green cuttings are considered the most common and effective method. You can start harvesting and planting green cuttings with the appearance of the first berries and until July 5. For cuttings, the tops of the shoots are used. They are cut into a length of 7 - 12 cm with two or three pairs of leaves, which, in order to reduce evaporation, are cut in half of the leaf.

Cuttings are planted obliquely, half buried, in a specially prepared substrate from a mixture of peat and river sand (1: 3) in the shade under a film or plastic bottles. This is the best option. The main condition for rooting cuttings is frequent (4 - 5 times a day) watering, especially in the first week and a half after planting.

To avoid the death of cuttings, on very hot, windless days, it is necessary to raise the film and ventilate the greenhouse or boxes for a short time. In a humid greenhouse in warm weather, after 8 - 10 days, nodules (callus) form at the lower end of the cutting, and after another 10 - 12 days, roots begin to appear.

For some gardeners ... glass jars become greenhouses. They plant cuttings in a pre-prepared bed, water them abundantly and cover them with jars. Then, without removing the dishes, water abundantly every two to three days. After 30 - 40 days, the jars are removed, but previously (several days before the deadline) they are gradually raised, placing sticks of different thicknesses on one side. This is necessary in order to accustom rooted cuttings to fresh air.

In early August, a month and a half before the onset of the first autumn frosts, rooted cuttings must be planted either in pots or in a school for growing at a distance of 8x8 cm from each other. After planting, they must be watered abundantly through a fine strainer and mulched with peat, fine humus or sifted compost soil. With the onset of the first frost, it will not be superfluous to cover the bed with cuttings for the winter with spruce branches or a dry leaf. In the spring of next year, remove the shelter, and loosen the soil on the bed, if it is compacted, slightly and shallowly, so as not to damage the roots. Then feed: add 1 sq. m 1 st. l. or a matchbox of nitroammophoska. And after a week or two, water with diluted slurry or bird droppings (1: 8).

The next year, by the fall, the plants will be ready for planting in a permanent place.

Spring is pruning time. But pay attention to the fact that the tops of the honeysuckle are not cut off! It is in them that there are most of the buds with the rudiments of flowers, removing which we will reduce the yield.

Many people believe that honeysuckle does not need pruning at all until 7-10 years old. Some prune after planting and then trim the bushes like hedges.

To make the pruning techniques more understandable, let's follow the development of the fruit buds of the bush.

On the lateral shoots of the central branch and on the skeletal axes in the lowest part, there are growth buds, often solitary. In the middle and upper parts, they are mixed, that is, giving flowers and shoots upon awakening.

After two or three years of fruiting, the tops thicken, and at the bottom the branches become bare, and the shoots of restoration grow from them. During the summer, they reach the top of the bush and stop growing. And again, in the upper and middle parts of these shoots, mixed and growth buds are laid, and at the base - only growth buds.

Honeysuckle bushes over 6 years old require sanitary pruning - removal of diseased, broken, dried branches. First of all, cut off the branches of the lower tier, which lie on the ground, interfere with care and do not bear fruit. In adult bushes, thin out the aging part of the crown with small dried branches every 2 - 3 years, leaving no more than 5 powerful trunks. For very old bushes, pruning "on a stump" is possible at a height of 30 - 40 cm from the soil level. Next spring, the first shoots will appear on low stumps, and the bush will begin to recover.

In general, caring for adult honeysuckle is reduced to cutting dry branches and correcting the floors.

Rejuvenating thinning pruning is recommended for 8-10 years after planting. Detailed anti-aging pruning - once every 3-4 years.

On mature fruiting bushes, the bark is very often exfoliated and gray-brown stripes hang down. You should not worry, this is not a disease, but a biological feature of the plant.

The honeysuckle got its name, most likely, from the old Belarusian word "zhymalats" - "a plant with strong veins". And the second name of the culture - tree trunk - speaks for itself: in the old days its branches were used to make bobbins for weaving lace, whips, and ramrods.

Honeysuckle is not only an ornamental, but also a gas-resistant shrub, therefore it is very promising for landscaping cities and towns. Plus, it's an excellent honey plant.

The advantage of edible honeysuckle is not only the earliest ripening of berries, but also an extremely rich set of healing substances in them. All researchers are unanimous in the opinion: the plant is extremely useful. In terms of the amount of vitamin C, honeysuckle surpasses lemon and strawberries (100 g is the daily norm of ascorbic acid), and in terms of some macro- and microelements it has no equal in nature.

If you eat honeysuckle regularly, you can significantly strengthen the capillaries and lower blood pressure. Pectin substances, which are so rich in fruits, protect the body from salts of heavy metals, with which it is very difficult for residents of cities and territories contaminated with radionuclides to fight.

Honeysuckle is especially useful for cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, atherosclerosis, for the treatment of the liver and gallbladder. It is also actively used for gastritis, duodenal ulcer, anemia. Berries are diuretic, astringent and anti-inflammatory.

A decoction of berries strengthens memory. To do this, ripe fruits are crumpled with a crush, poured with boiling water (3 tablespoons of berries per glass) and insisted for 2 hours in a dark place, after which they filter and drink a third of the glass three times a day before meals.

For sore throats and colds, a decoction of the leaves, using their antiseptic properties, gargle. Wounds and burns are washed with infusion of leaves. Sprinkle wounds with dry crushed leaves for faster healing.

A decoction of twigs with leaves has a strong diuretic effect and is considered a good remedy for edema of any origin.

Yes, it is possible to grow honeysuckle saplings from seeds, only the varietal qualities will most likely differ from the maternal ones. Seeds must be sown either immediately, in June, or in January. Until January, I store the seeds in a damp cloth, which I put in a plastic bag and in the refrigerator, on the top shelf of the door. In January, I sow into the soil (humus + sand, you can add peat). I spread the seeds on the surface, lightly sprinkle them, water them from a spray bottle, put them in a transparent plastic bag and put them on a window where there is no direct sunlight. Seeds begin to sprout after about a month, some after 2 months. When the first few shoots appear, I remove the cellophane and transfer it to a more illuminated place. I also water from a spray bottle as the soil dries up. In May, I plant it in a "nursery", that is. in a small bed, which I have located under the tree, which is also abundantly filled with sand and sawdust, without weeds. A bed on the north side of the tree, where there is a shadow. There the seedlings grow until autumn, from the beginning to the end of October I plant them in a permanent place. If you need information on the summer planting of seeds, write, I will tell you in detail.
