Therefore, it is not surprising that several specimens of this wonderful shrub can grow in their garden.

General description of the plant

Many varieties of honeysuckle are unpretentious, frost-resistant. The plant does not require painstaking care. Basically, it consists in pruning drying out branches, loosening the soil under and around the bush, removing weeds and feeding. Honeysuckle bushes respond positively to abundant watering, and do not tolerate drought well. Loosening of the soil should not be carried out to a great depth, since the roots of the plant are located close to the surface.

The beginning of flowering dates back to around mid-May - this largely depends on the weather and the region where the crop is grown. In the spring, the bush is covered with fragrant flowers. They attract a large number of insects, mainly bees, bumblebees, and flies. It is thanks to their visits that the bush is pollinated. It must be remembered that there are also self-fruitless varieties of honeysuckle, for pollination of which the presence of a plant of another variety is necessary on the site. Flowers are able to withstand a drop in air temperature to minus 5 - 7 degrees.

Sometimes gardeners use the seed method of propagation of honeysuckle, which is considered to be the most laborious and troublesome.

The plant should be planted in such a way that it is under the cover of the crowns of taller plants. Choosing such a planting site helps to achieve the best honeysuckle harvest. Its fruits, being in direct sunlight, can become smaller.

This is one of the negative properties of certain varieties of honeysuckle. Gardeners have found a way to harvest crops without loss. To do this, during the period of active ripening of honeysuckle berries, spread a film, paper or some other material under the bush, from which you can easily collect the sprinkled fruits later.
