    For the fifth year I have two honeysuckle bushes. They look good, but the berries grow on them very small - like seeds (only some are the size of a bean). But I seem to look after them according to all the rules. They grow at me in a meter from each other and, accordingly, are well pollinated. The plot is located in a sunny place for them (maybe, by the way, it is too hot for them there?). Beneath them, the entire land is permanently mulched. I water them regularly, fertilize them with pigeon droppings.

    One bush has grown too thick. Last fall I thinned it out, and over the summer he drove out so many new branches that I was simply amazed. I thought: what if all his strength went into these shoots? But then why did he not take up his mind earlier, before thickening? Maybe someone from the gardeners will advise what I need to do in order for the bushes to bear fruit as expected? They say honeysuckle needs a sour pound. So what, try to spill the soil under them with some acid? Bornae probably won't hurt. Or am I not right? On the other hand, pigeon droppings are also sour, but there is no sense in adding it. Apparently I'm preparing the wrong concentration? In short, I urgently need to do something with these bushes, but I just can't understand what. And so you want large berries to grow on them!

    By the way, the bushes were bought by my daughter Tatiana in a proven gardening store, where they grew in pots.
