HENOMELES Quince JAPANESE LANDING AND CARE: AND FRUITS AND FLOWERS ...

The famous American breeder L. Burbank believed that henomeles “has valuable hidden opportunities as a fruit bush” and that this culture has a “very great future”. High content of biologically active substances, unpretentiousness to external conditions, good winter hardiness, early maturity and annual fruiting - these are the advantages due to which Japanese quince should settle in every garden.

HOW TO MAKE HENOMELES MYSELF?

If it grows with neighbors, ask them for one fruit, it is better if it is larger and taken from bushes with few thorns.

Cut it, remove the seeds and sow in the already frozen soil into prepared grooves with a depth of 1 -2 cm. Before sowing the grooves, cover with something, and sprinkle with sand after sowing. Mulch the crops. In the spring, when the shoots appear, thinn them out.

After 1-2, the seedlings can be transplanted to a permanent place. They will bear fruit in the 3-4 year of life.

Henomeles can be propagated by any other means: root offspring, layering, dividing the bush and green cuttings. When breeding selective forms, green cuttings are used or grafted onto the stem-forming agents. The plant works well in a standardized form on irga, hawthorn and pear. But in this case, it needs to be covered for the winter, bending to the ground, otherwise it will freeze cool.

WHY HENOMELES IS CALLED JAPANESE QUINA?

Genomeles comes from Japan, and the fruits look like quince. Hence the name. This unpretentious shrub grows in nature on the slopes of the mountains, in far from the most favorable conditions: in summer - heat, in winter - cold, in late autumn - frequent rains interspersed with snow. But thanks to this, Japanese quince transfers the conditions of the middle lane. Plant shoots that do not rise above 1 m above the ground are hidden under the snow.

Henomeles appeared in Russia in the middle of the XIX century. in the St. Petersburg Botanical Garden. From here he dispersed into other botanical and amateur gardens, first as an ornamental shrub. In fact, in May-June, its bushes are unusually beautiful: on thin branches, almost closing them, large (up to 3,5 cm in diameter) coral flowers on short pedicels bloom. Bushes are also elegant in autumn, when against the background of dense dark green foliage, fruits ripening in September-October appear yellow-green, yellow, orange in color.

DOMESTIC FRUIT VARIETIES OF HENOMELES

Over the past 6 years, the State register of selection achievements has been significantly replenished with new varieties of henomeles. At the moment, their 14.

These are the Michurinsky varieties Albatross, Alur, Voskhod, Ivanushka, Michurinsky vitamin, Flagship, Charm and Crimean varieties Grafde Frame, Dimitrina, Candea, Beauty Madeleine, Mimka, Perunik, and Stats-Dama.

Varieties are both decorative and allow you to collect a good crop of large wholesome fruits.

WHERE TO EAT?

As for the choice of a site for landing, there are no special problems with this. Henomeles is undemanding to soil and climate, resistant to drought, however, prefers lighter places. But the main thing is that in winter there should be a lot of snow. In landscaping, the plant is recommended for creating low green hedges and group plantings.

HENOMELES - CARE?

Japanese quince is very unpretentious, but if you have a varietal plant and need a good harvest, try to create optimal conditions. On a barren land, before planting, apply a substrate prepared from sheet soil, sand and peat compost in the ratio 2: 1: 1. It is advisable to add phosphate and potassium fertilizers (40 g / sq. M). Genomeles responds well to soil liming (100 g / sq. M).

In the spring, after the snow melts, apply organic fertilizers or rotted manure under the henomeles (1 bucket per bush). Later, with the advent of the buds, fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizer (mineral or organic, such as a litter solution) will not be superfluous.

In the middle lane and in the northern regions, it is advisable to cover the genomeles for the winter. This is especially important for young bushes and varietal plants. In autumn, pour leaf litter, spruce branches under the bushes, with the onset of cold weather, wrap them with covering material and then scoop up snow so that it gradually completely covers the plants.

HOW TO CUT THE HENOMELES?

Genomeles responds well to crown formation. In this case, underdeveloped, dry and old branches (older than 5 years) must be removed. The most productive are 3-years old, therefore, using pruning, it is necessary to ensure the formation of 3-, 2- and 1-year-old branches.

HOW TO USE THE FRUITS OF GENOMELES IN FOOD?

All forms of henomeles are low - up to 1 m, but their fruits are different - from small to rather large (35 g in species and 70 g in varietal plants). The fruits are oblong, pear-shaped, similar to an apple or an egg. Some forms of henomeles are distinguished by productivity - up to 4 kg from a bush at the age of 5 years.

An important indicator is the ratio of the weight of seeds to the weight of the fetus. Forms in which this indicator is 3-4%, and should be grown for harvesting fruits for future use. After all, in fresh form they are almost never used, as they are too acidic and contain a lot of tannins. But the peculiar aroma and specific taste make the fruits especially attractive for processing.

Undoubtedly, the fruits of the genomeles are smaller and more acidic than the fruits of the real quince, but they contain more vitamin C, vitamin P, which strengthens the capillaries. In addition, there is a lot of pectin in the fruits, due to which excellent jelly is obtained.

Natural henomeles is perhaps the most useful preparation from henomeles.

HENOMELES - MY RECIPE

Cut the fruit into 4 parts, removing the core, and pass through a meat grinder or blender. Lay in layers in an enameled bowl, ram and sprinkle with sugar. Leave on 12 hours. Stir, trying to dissolve the sugar, and leave again.

When the flesh comes up, drain the juice, add sugar to it (until it stops dissolving) and pour it into clean jars. Put the pulp in jars, pour a layer of sugar on top and store in the cold.

Add syrup to tea (especially during colds), and the pulp can be put in pies.

I got on fire last year with the idea of growing Japanese quince (or chaenomeles). Since our garden turned out to be from the windowsill, I decided to start working with this culture also from seeds. I took them out and put them on December 24 for stratification: wrapped them in wet gauze and placed them in the refrigerator for 120 days.

I expected to plant it immediately on the garden bed at the end of March, but, apparently, on the refrigerator door, where I identified the seeds, the temperature turned out to be above 3 ° C, since they had already started on January 29. I had to plant them under a film in a box, where I poured a mixture of pure peat taken from the country, sand and purchased soil (1: 1: 1).
She put the box on the east window. The frame there is wooden, not insulated, and in order to protect the seedlings from the cold window sill, I built plastic three-tier shelves with legs, which, as it turned out, at the same time also save space in the sun for seedlings. Every day I wiped off the perspiration film.
To cover seedlings, it is convenient to use transparent covers for textbooks, the benefit of such a “covering” material accumulates in abundance.
The first two shoots appeared after seven days. My joy knew no bounds! And how was it that I used to grow nothing but cacti and violets in my apartment? I am still amazed at myself. Well, then I did the same with quince in full accordance with the recommendations of the readers. This is how another dream of mine came true. By the way, in the same winter I tried to grow through seedlings and strawberries. On February 1, in another box on top of compacted wet soil, rarely (with the help of a toothpick moistened with water), I planted tiny grains, covered with foil and placed on the same shelf next to the quince. On the third day almost all the grains showed white fluffy roots, and on the fifth day small green leaves rose. After that, holes were often pierced in the film for ventilation.

The most unpretentious, winter-hardy and therefore widespread shrub with scarlet flowers is Japanese quince, or henomeles (Chaenomeles).
Flowering occurs at the end of spring, when the branches are densely covered with medium-sized, but very bright flowers of a fiery color. After that, in place of the flowers, fruits similar to small bumpy apples are formed. They ripen very slowly, reaching ripeness by the end of October or reaching after picking. Then they become similar in taste to ordinary quince and can be used for cooking jam and jams. However, there is little edible pulp in the genomeles, so it makes no sense to grow it as a fruit shrub.

Japanese quince is a slowly growing long-liver. Annual growth rarely exceeds 3-5 cm, so the bush remains small for a long time, barely knee-high. However, he lives in one place for a long time, up to 100 years, and very old bushes can gain height up to 1, 5-2 m.

The place for the genomeles needs to be chosen sunny, without seasonal stagnation of water, and immediately place the seedling in a permanent place, since the plant does not like transplanting. The care is simple: a couple of top dressings per season (nitrogen fertilizers in the spring and potash-phosphorus in the fall), watering in dry weather, the formation of the crown. In severe winters, the ends of annual shoots may freeze, but the plant is easily restored.
