Red viburnum

A beautiful shrub called red viburnum can be found in various parts of Eurasia, for example, in Russia, Ukraine, the Caucasus and other European and Asian countries.

By the beginning of autumn, the shrub, whose height can reach four meters, looks incredibly beautiful, since by this time the bright red berries of the viburnum ripen. However, the attractive and appetizing appearance of the berries does not match their taste. During this period, they still have a bitter taste. And only with the onset of frost does this bitterness disappear.

Among the people, red viburnum is considered a valuable medicinal plant. The juice and berries of viburnum contain a considerable amount of vitamins and nutrients. Therefore, they are used to treat many diseases of the heart, blood vessels and other organs and systems of the human body.

Viburnum is an unpretentious shrub, so it is quite easy to grow it on your site. First of all, you need to know that the plant does not tolerate dry soils or soils with stagnant water. Red viburnum will grow best on light, fertile soil with neutral or low acidity.

It is recommended to plant shrub seedlings in early spring or autumn. The place should be sunny, although in a small shade the viburnum can also develop well.

The shrub grows quite quickly, so it needs timely pruning of excess shoots and the removal of dry and damaged branches.

Immediately after planting viburnum, abundant watering is required once a week, preferably in the evening. It is also recommended to mulch the soil with a mixture of peat and earth.
