KALINA RED: AND THE DOCTOR, AND THE NURSE
The main advantage of red viburnum is the healing properties of berries, which contain a large amount of unique and useful substances to maintain strength and health. In addition, this beautiful plant looks spectacular on the site both as a tapeworm and in groups with other flowering shrubs. And if you don't have viburnum yet, think about planting it this fall.
LANDING KALINA
Give the viburnum the lightest area so that it bathes in the sun all day. At the bottom of the planting pit (50 cm deep and 40-50 cm wide) pour drainage (gravel, fine gravel or river sand) in a layer of 10 cm.Then fill with nutrient soil mixture: add vermicompost (4: 1) to the compost, horse manure granules or chicken droppings (1 l), sifted wood ash (1 l). Before planting seedlings with an open root system, immerse them in the solution of the HB-101 preparation (according to the instructions) for 8 hours, with a closed one - for 2 hours. Water the plant abundantly after planting.
CARE OF KALINA
In the spring, when the air temperature rises above +15 degrees, clean the trunk circle from the remnants of fallen leaves and weeds and embed the HB-101 preparation granules (10-15 pieces per bush) into the ground - this will increase the plant's immunity. To restore soil microflora after winter, add a dry substrate Shining-2, granules of horse manure or chicken droppings, vermicompost (all according to the instructions) under the plant.
And the above-ground part for the prevention of the appearance of diseases and pests, treat with a solution of a biological product The gardener's first-aid kit (according to the instructions). After the threat of recurrent frosts disappears, mulch the near-trunk circle with organic matter (straw, mown grass, bark). In the summer, once every two weeks on the leaves, treat the plant with the preparation Bio-cocktail (according to the instructions). In the first half of summer, water at the root once every two weeks with herbal infusion, in the second half - with a solution of potassium humate and a biological product Shining-1 (according to the instructions).
In autumn, after picking berries, pour abundantly the near-stem circle with a solution of potassium humate or ash infusion (pour 2 liters of sifted ash with 10 liters of boiling water, insist for a day, dilute 1 liter of the composition in 10 liters of water for watering). Treat the crown with the gardener's first aid kit.
CUTTING POTS
Without pruning, the bush quickly thickens, the yield decreases. This work is best done after leaf fall: remove all broken, thin, unripe, dried branches growing deeper into the crown. Cut young shoots with long internodes at a height of 1,5-1,8 m from the soil level. Treat the slices with garden varnish or paint.

CALINA RECIPES FOR HEALTH AND USE
Prepare for the winter from viburnum: jelly "Winter Evening"
For a long time, viburnum berries have been harvested for the winter and used for medicinal purposes (ate for colds), since the substances they contain increase immunity. And the people also said that viburnum inspires hope, drives away gloomy thoughts, gives joy to life and heals not only the body, but also the soul. Indeed, the presence of valerian acids in these red berries has a beneficial effect on the nervous system. And my grandmother always cooked viburnum jelly. Today we are preparing this delicacy in our own family.
Pour clean berries (1 kg) with cold water to completely cover the fruits, and cook after boiling over low heat for 20 minutes. Wipe the hot mass through a colander, do not pour out the cooking water. We return the grated berries to it and mix. Strain the mixture through a colander again, spread the gauze in 2 layers, and squeeze the cake properly (discard it). We settle the liquid for 3 hours, then carefully, without shaking the precipitate, pour the juice into a saucepan, add 0,5 kg of sugar and heat until it is completely dissolved. We filter the hot viburnum syrup through 2 layers of cheesecloth and cook, stirring, for an hour. Then add another 0,5 kg of sugar and heat over low heat, stirring constantly. When the sugar dissolves, the jelly is ready. Pour hot into sterilized jars, roll up, wrap until cool.

Nanum is a beautiful, but completely non-flowering, dense variety of K. vulgaris. It grows slowly, does not exceed 1 m. Good in flower beds, ro-hazels, curbs and low trimmed hedges. The period of the highest decorativeness is autumn, when the foliage is “on fire”.

KALINA DOES NOT COMPETE WITH RASPBERRY
People say: "Do not be viburnum raspberries." But the first one doesn't need it...
Ripening at the end of September, red viburnum tastes really bitter. But after the first frost, bitterness disappears. And this is not the main thing: few plants can compare with viburnum in terms of health benefits. For example, there is more vitamin C and iron in viburnum fruits than in the same raspberries.
In our garden there are two adult viburnum bushes and one young one. The optimal time for planting seedlings in the fall is after leaf fall. The root neck needs to be deepened by 5-6 cm. And in the spring, before the buds swell, cut off the aerial part by a third so that the root shoots grow better.
After harvesting, we feed the viburnum with ash (3-4 tbsp. per bush for embedding). We water abundantly. We process the aerial part and the soil under the plants for the prevention of aphids, the viburnum leaf beetle with Karbofos (according to the instructions). But we carry out the main eradicating treatment in the spring before bud break with Bordeaux liquid (300 g per 10 l of water).
Kalina is frost-resistant, but it is better to warm a young bush.
We mulched the trunk circle with peat, and wrapped the plant itself with spunbond.
My friend phytotherapist Tatyana Nikolskaya advises pouring 1 tbsp. for colds and flu, heart diseases. dried viburnum berries 1 liter of hot water, boil for 7-10 minutes, strain, add 3 tbsp. honey and drink half a glass 3-4 times a day.
With beriberi, it is useful to brew 1 tbsp. l. dry fruits 1 tbsp. boiling water, insist 2 hours, strain and drink half a glass 2 times a day.
TREE-CHARM IN YOUR PLOT
Our ancestors revered the viburnum, believed that it, planted near the house, protects the home and household from the evil eye and life's adversity, attracts happiness and prosperity to the house. In addition, the plant serves as a natural talisman for its owners, endowing a person with unprecedented strength. And women wore viburnum beads to develop intuition and prophetic abilities.
And until now, people believe in the unique power of the viburnum tree, which is able to quickly clear the space of negative energy. According to legend, in order to find inner peace and comfort, it is enough to whisper to viburnum about your problems and experiences, to share your innermost thoughts with her.
