Many of us, being children, naively believed that Barbaris is delicious lollipops, on whose wrapper is depicted with a brush of oblong red fruits. How then did you want to see a wonderful plant at least with one eye, on which Barberry berries ripen! Today, grow a "candy" bush on the household plot maybe even a beginner gardener.
Description of culture
Barbaris represents the numerous genus of shrub and woody plants of the barberry family. The Arab word "Beiberi", from which the name is called, means "such a sink". Of the 175 types of Barbaris growing in the mountainous areas of the Northern Hemisphere, many are grown in culture, but the unconditional favorite of the gardeners is Barbaris ordinary - a powerful shrub height of about 3 m, with grayish-brown branches, thin elliptic leaves and fierce three-part straits, each of which reaches Length 2 cm. In mid-May, the plant is covered with small fragrant flowers of golden yellow colors collected in shields or brushes. Abundant blossom of Barbarisa ordinary lasts 20-25 days, and by autumn they ripen those berries familiar to us on the candy candy.
In modern garden culture, the decorative forms of Barbaris ordinary, such as:
- Alba Variegata - with white-green motley leaves;
- Atropurpurea - with a foliage of a saturated purple shade;
- Aurea marginata - leaves around the edge are edged with golden border;
- Asperma - with minorable berries, which are very convenient to process.
Barbaris ordinary is not only beautiful, but also an extremely useful garden decoration. Its edible berries are used in traditional medicine and in cooking, and the impassive hedge of dense prickly bushes in the competition for strength will give odds to any metal fence.
Dates of the boarding work
In the middle lane, the best time for landing of Barbarisa ordinary - Spring. Wait for the soil in the garden and it warms up a little and proceed to the works. But do not tighten! Complete landing need to wake up the kidneys.
In extreme cases, the autumn planting of the culture is allowed, it is carried out during a mass leafflow.
Rules landing
Barbaris equally comfortably feels in open areas, and in a half, but for purple-olive varieties, it is still better to find a well-lit hood, under the sunny rays of their foliage will be brighter and more effectively. The soil is preferable neutral, fertile. Works are carried out as follows:
- 15-20 days before landing digging a bit size 40? 40? 40 cm, the bottom of which for drainage is covered with a thick layer of sand. If the ground on the neutral or alkaline area, the humus is poured into the pit (8-10 kg), tired by superphosphate (100 g). For silence of excessively acidic soils in the nutrient mixture, it is recommended to add haired lime (400 g) and wood ash (200 g).
- In a warm cloudy day, a seedlock is immersed in the pit and raise the earth.
- The soil of the priority circle is rambling, generously watered with warm water and mulched with a compost or peat.
- The ground part of the planted bustle is shortened, leaving only 3-5 well developed kidneys.
note! Barbaris is pollinated cross, therefore, for high-quality fruiting, it should be grown not alone, but several instances.
Planning to grow individual bushes, put them at a distance of 1.5-2 m from each other. In dense alive hedges between adjacent plants, they maintain a distance of 25-30 cm, in a more loose - about 50 cm.
The unpretentiousness of Barbaris ordinary amazes at least even experienced gardeners. This beautiful shrub is not afraid of drought or a strong wind and feels great in a tanned urban atmosphere. Proper landing care is an easy task:
- With regular fallout, the sediments do not need to water the bushes, short-term thirst will not hurt them. However, in a strong heat of moisture, Barbaris is necessary. In arid weather every 7-10 days, pour under the root of adult copies of 10-20 liters a little warm water. The same irrigation mode is shown newly planted bushes as long as they do not adapt in a new place.
- The soil of priority circles should be regularly loosen with the simultaneous removal of weeds and the abundant root row of Barbaris.
- Power supplied by landing will support plants for the year. In the spring, the bubbaris perched with a solution of urea or ammonium nitrate is recommended. In the future, nitrogen-containing fertilizers contribute every 3-4 years. To obtain a good harvest of berries after flowering bushes feed phosphorus and potassium.
- From the one-year-old age, Barbaris needs a systematic trimming, during which the bush is eliminated from dry, sick and thickening the crown of shoots. The first haircut is carried out in the spring, shortening the branches by 50-70%. Then it is necessary to cut the bushes twice for the season - in spring and autumn. With the help of a haircut, you can also give Krone Barbaris the most unexpected shape.
If you climb the soil under the bushes peat, humus or walnut, water, pour and loosen the plot you will have much less frequently.
Features of breeding
Barbaris breeds in the same way as other garden shrubs:
- Seeds. The bone extracted from ripe fruits is washed, disinfected in the heat transfer solution and dried. In the open ground, ready-made seeds sow under the winter to a depth of 1 cm, the spring seedlings in the phase of the first pair of real leaves thinning and struck in the garden-shrink for 2 years. For spring sowing bones of Barbaris, be stratified in the refrigerator for 2-5 months.
- Cherenca. The planting material is harvested in June. Early in the morning with a bush, one or more shoots are cut off, divided into parts and for several hours they are soaked in the growth stimulator ("Korninen", "Epin", "heteroaceksin"). Washed in clean water, the cuttings are planted into the sandy-peat mixture under the film, regularly watered and ventilated. After 2-3 weeks, young bushes planted into the open ground and 2 years are fought on the school bed.
- Digging. In the spring, a strong annual escape of the lower tier is flexible, laid in a groove with a depth of 20-25 cm and fall asleep the ground in such a way that only the top is left on the surface. By the autumn, the tanks will acquire its own root system and it will be possible to separate it from the uterine plant.
- Dividing bush. This method is applicable to three-year-five-year copies with a root cervix, blurred at least 10 cm. In the spring, barberries are digging, divided into equal parts, plowing slices with crowded coal and seed the decene.
note! You can not divide the plant if the branching of its shoots begins above the soil surface.
Independent breeding of Barbaris - an interesting occupation and not too troublesome. At least for a minimum effort, in a couple of years you will fully provide high-quality planting material and yourself, and your friends-gardeners.
Organization of wintering
In the late autumn, the soil under barberries mulch the thick layer of dry peat or compost. Young plants who have not reached the five-year-old age are covered by fir-flask legs. Larger and volumetric copies are insulated otherwise: a dense crown is dragging in several places with an elastic twine and a fencing from a metal mesh around the bush is installed. In the resulting cylindrical "slab" fell asleep leaves, and on top of the construction are wrapped with nonwoven material.
Diseases and pests
Stable to all sorts of climatic tests of barberries is nevertheless pretty vulnerable to fungal infections, such as:
- Puffy dew. The leaves and shoots of the plant are covered with a sizo-white rode consisting of mycelium and dispute. By the autumn on the whites "flour" become well noticeable black points of the brainy, in which the harmful fungus remains wintering. An efficient means against mildewed dew is a solution of colloidal sulfur, which the bushes spray twice with an interval of 2-3 weeks.
- Rust. On the upper side of the sheet plates, poisonous-orange stains appear, and pillow-shaped rusty education. As a rule, the disease is observed in barberries growing near the breadfields. As treatment, the bushes show a three-time processing of copper-containing drugs or colloidal gray.
- Fusarious fading. On one side of Barbaris, on the one side, the barbaris suddenly begins to wither and fall, and some shoots dry and die away. Gradually, infection covers all the plant. If at the first symptoms cut infected areas, then the development of the disease can be braked. Bordeaux liquid is shown as the prevention of the diseases of the bushes.
- Spotted. Update spots of various shapes are sprawling on the leaves of Barbaris. The contaminated barbaris of copper oxychloride, diluted in irrigation water (30-40 g / 10 l).
Sometimes Barbaris suffers from bacteriosis - a serious bacterial disease, the signs of which are cracking the cortex and the appearance of ugly tumors on the shoots. If the disease struck the top of the branch, then save the plant is easy: just cut the damaged escape, capturing a fragment of a healthy fabric. It is much worse if bacteriosis develops at the bottom of the branch where it is adjacent to the trunk - in this case the entire bush will be infected. Immediately remove all patients of barbaris parts and spray the boarding of a burgundy liquid or other potent fungicide containing copper.
From pests on Barbaris periodically make raids of floral spinings, barberry sawers and barberry fault. The bushes are sprayed with a strong (300 g / 10 liter) solution of the economic soap or Biotline preparation. From the flower spinings, the bubbaris berries from the inside, as from the caterpillars, will help to get rid of a weak (1-3%) solution of chlorofos.
The benefits and harm of Barbaris
For use in food, only ripe barkaris ordinary berries, who misunderstood they are poisonous. The collected fruits and leaves are dried outdoors under a canopy, after which you are facing paper bags and inserted in the room for 3 years. Prepared raw materials are used in folk medicine for the preparation of painkillers, choleretic, antitumor and hemostatic drugs. A decoction of barberry leaves helps with hepatitis, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver. The decoction of the roots is used externally for washing the inflamed eyes and purulent wounds, as well as as a rheumatization of radiculitis, osteochondrosis, rheumatism and arthritis. The use of fresh berries, sophisticated with honey, contributes to the restoration of the body affected by radiation.
In the cooking from freshly picked fruits of barbaris, jams, jams and compotes are boiled, prepare liquors and squabs, and dried berries, solid or crushed, added to soups and side dishes as an aromatic seasoning. Culture leaves are an excellent base for green.
But be careful! With all the obvious benefits of Barbaris, drugs based on it are contraindicated to children under 12 years old, pregnant and lactating women, as well as persons suffering from individual intolerance to the product. And, of course, in no case do not try immature berries.
In nature, Barbaris is widespread. It can be found on all continents, except Antarctica and Australia. This is an extremely unpretentious plant, surviving even in the conditions of the city. It is characterized by decorativeness, so widely used in landscape design. It is planted on the gardens and gardeners, and not only for decoration. Barberry berries are extremely useful for health.
Plant Description
Most of the varieties of barbaris are small (up to 2.5-3 m) deciduous shrubs. There are also evergreen species, but quite rare. The varieties are very different thanks to the diversity of the forms of leaves, their coloring, size and shades of fruit. But there is also a common feature - the presence of frequently located strong long (up to 2 cm) barns. They literally dump the shoots, greatly difficult to harvest and leaving the plant.
Spines - nothing but the modified leaves, from which one central residence remained.
Barberry in nature is extremely widespread
Barbaris looks very attractive throughout the season, so widely used in landscape design. A plant with trimming can be given any desired form. Most often there are living hedges, borders from Barbaris and single figures. Shrub is good "holding" the soil, protecting it from erosion. Sharply varieties look good in the Alpine slides and rockers.
Barbaris is widely used in landscape design - by itself or in combination with other plants
The bark on the shoots gray, in adult plants - with shallow furrows. Wood bright yellow. The leaves of Barbaris are small, oval, sharply sharpened to the petiole, are quite dense, but not leather. The edge is smooth or carved with small cloth. In summer, they are painted in bright green or lime color. In the fall, the leaves change the tone, acquiring different shades of scarrow, raspberry, orange-red, punch pink, purple, less often yellow.

Lovely and flowering bush. Buds are revealed at the end of May or in the first decade of June. Flowers are small, collected in inflorescences in the form of drop-down brushes with a length of 8-10 cm. Petals are golden-yellow, saffron, light orange. They publish a characteristic tart aroma attracting a lot of bees.
Barberry honey is not so common, such as, for example, buckwheat or lime, but no less useful.
Blooming Barbaris is also very decorative
Small berries (bonuses) voluntary at the end of September or in the first half of October. The form is elongated, oval. The length varies depending on the variety, but rarely exceeds 1 cm. Fruits for a very rare exception are painted in a bright-scarlet color. There are only a few varieties with black-purple berries covered with sizo-blue raids. The taste is quite pleasant, sour-sweet. Many large seeds in the pulp. The same refreshing acidic taste is also different and young leaves that are suitable for food. In no case cannot eat immature barberries, such berries of poisonous.
Barberry fruits are distinguished by a very high content of vitamin C
In addition to consuming fresh, berries can be dried, cooking jam, compotes, jams, kisins, make a grazing. The sour taste is very appropriate in various sauces to meat and chicken.
Barberry is widely used in folk medicine. All parts of the plant go to the move. Increased vitamin C content makes it indispensable to strengthen immunity. Barberry berries - effective prevention of diabetes, heart disease and vessels. There are contraindications. Barbaris is not recommended to use women on any gestation, especially if there is a threat of miscarriage, as well as hypotoniki.

Landing Barbarisa
Barbaris is extremely unpretentious, he is not afraid of winds and drafts. He has only one "requirement." The plant very negatively belongs to the water, causing roots. Therefore, it is not worth landing it where the groundwater is suitable for the surface of the soil closer than 1.5 m, and in any shorts. It is for a long time for a rainwater, wet crude air.
Peppercut and decorative varieties with saturated coloring is best planted on a sunny plot. In the shade, the shade can become black, pattern and border - disappear at all.
The place is desirable to choose immediately and forever. A transplant, especially if you shake with the roots of the earth, Barbaris suffers badly. To "move away" from her, the plant can take 2-3 years.
To show your best qualities, Barbaris need warm and sunlight
If the root system at the barbaris seedling is closed, it is better to plant it early in spring, before the growth of the kidneys will be waged. Also the right time for the procedure is the end of August or the beginning of autumn.
The landing point for Barbaris is prepared in 2-3 weeks before the expected landing. The root system is developed, but superficial. Therefore, it is enough 40 cm in the depth and as much in diameter. At the bottom, a layer of drainage is desirable with a thickness of 3-4 cm. The fertile land extracted from the pit is mixed with fertilizers (200 g of simple superphosphate and 120 g of potassium sulphate) and pour back, forming a low holmik at the bottom. Natural alternative to mineral fertilizers - humus (5-7 l) and wood ash (0.8-1 l).
Root system at Barbaris Surface, dig a deep pit is not necessary
In acidic soil, Barbaris survives, but it grows poorly and develops, can change the shade of leaves. Therefore, the acid-alkaline balance is desirable to find out in advance and add to the pit of a dolomite flour, a greased lime, chopped into a powder egg shell, if necessary.
There is nothing complicated in the disembarkation itself. It is not much different from the similar procedure for other berry shrubs. For the procedure, choose a cloudy non-jarous day. Roots cut to live greenish-yellow fabric, shorting up for about a third. The most important thing is not to bulk the root neck in the process. It should be located 3-5 cm above the ground surface. Only landed plants are abundantly watered when the moisture is absorbed - mulch the soil. All existing shoots are shortened, leaving no more than 3-4 growth kidneys, leaves (with autumn landing) break. Over the next 2-3 weeks, seedlings need to be protected from direct sunlight. You can, for example, to build a canopy from any underfloor material.
When landing a barbaris needed to ensure that the root neck remains above the ground
Single plants are planted at a distance of at least 1.5 m from other trees and shrubs, otherwise it will not be possible to achieve the expected decorative effect. When planning, hedge, the bushes are placed in a checker order, leaving 20-25 cm between them.
How the plant is multiplied
Barberry and vegetative, and a generative way begins. The second is not enough for breeding varieties, because it does not guarantee the preservation of the varietal signs.
- Seaming seeds. Barberry bushes grown from seeds often do not retain the varietal signs of the parent. Flowering and harvest from them can be waited only 3 years after planting seedlings into the ground. The germination of seeds is not very good, 40-50%.Seeds are collected independently, selecting the largest and ripe berries for this. For disinfection, they are soaked for 2-3 hours in a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate, then carefully dried. The seeds necessarily require cold stratification, so they plant them into the open ground at the end of autumn or for 3-4 months are placed in the container filled with sand or peat, which is cleaned with a refrigerator for the winter. They plunge them at 2.5-3 cm. So that they do not frozen, the beds are crying with straw, coniferous branches, are covered with burlap or loaf. You can use peat or humus, creating a mulch layer with a thickness of 8-10 cm. Spring is removed, until the end of May, the garden is tightened with polyethylene film. Shoots should appear in June. At home, the seeds are planted into small individual containers filled with universal soil for seedlings. They provide a luminous day lasting at least 10 hours, a temperature of about 25ºС, moderate watering. The substrate should be constantly slightly wet. Plants that have reached the height of 15-20 cm (usually after 1.5-2 years) are planted in open soil.
Barbaris seeds are carefully cleaned from the pulp to avoid the development of rot
- Shining. The planting material is obtained in summer, cutting up the tops of healthy shoots with a length of 12-15 cm. Be sure to have a minimum of 4-5 growth kidneys. The lower cut is made at an angle of about 45º, the top must be straight. Leaves from the bottom third of the cutlets are cleaned. So that they are faster, the base of the cuttings is sprinkled with any powdered stimulant of the root formation. But still the process goes down slowly, stretching sometimes for half a year and more. Shorten cuttings in home mini-greenhouses or homemade greenhouses, covering landing with polyethylene packages, cropped plastic bottles, glass caps. In such conditions, they are withstanding 2 years, then transplanted into open ground. You can cut the cuttings and in the fall, but before the spring they will have to be stored at a temperature of just above 0 ° C in a drawer with wet sand. In April they are planted in a greenhouse or in a small pot.
Barberry cuttings can be chopped throughout the vegetative season (if there is a place for storage)
- Rooting of the chains. The shoots at Barbaris are thin, nicure, they are very well suited for rooting with the letters. Lowly located branches are flex to the ground or laid in specially dug in shallow (5-7 cm) of trenches. Then they are falling asleep with fertile soil or humus, they are abundantly watered during the summer. On the surface there should be only the top of the branch. By autumn, 6-8 new bushes are developing. They are separated from the parent plant and transplant to a permanent place.
Young Barbaris bushes, obtained from messengers, are quite quickly leaving in a new place
- Decision bush. The method is mainly used for rare valuable low grades. It is desirable that Krona is spread, "loose." Only absolutely healthy bushes between the age of 5 are suitable for this. The plant digs out of the soil in the spring as soon as the soil hits enough. The roots are simply embroidered manually, then separated by a sharp knife or a secateur with disinfected blades. Each bush share a maximum of 3 parts. Then they are planted at the selected place and abundantly watered.
The division of the bush allows you to guarantee the preservation of varietal signs of the plant
Current care
If the place for Barbaris is chosen correctly, and the landing pit was prepared in compliance with all the recommendations, the plant can do without care at all. But for the attractiveness of the appearance and the receipt of abundant harvest, it will still need to spend some time and strength.
Making fertilizers
Feed the shrub once every 2-3 years, twice the season. In the spring, any nitrogen-containing fertilizers contribute - humid or overwhelmed compost or carbamide, ammonium salter, ammonium sulfate. In the first case, the feeder is carried out, distributing the fertilizer in the rolling circle simultaneously with the soil loosening, in the second - the solution is prepared, spreading 10-15 g of a means in 10 liters of water.
Barbaris reacts positively to any natural fertilizer
2-3 weeks after harvesting, Barbaris fertilizes phosphorus and potassium. On 20-25 g are divorced in 10 liters of water. Natural alternative - infusion of wood ash (0.5 liters per 3 liters of boiling water).
If Barbaris is grown for fruiting, you can spend one more feeder in the last decade of July. It is suitable for any complex fertilizer for berry bushes (Agrikola, Bon Forte, Kemira Suite, Life). The solution is prepared according to the instructions.
For feeding of a fruiting barbarisa will suit any universal fertilizer for berry shrubs
Watering
The too wet soil of Barbaris does not like, so he is enough for one watering in 7-8 days, and that in a strong heat. The norm on an adult plant is about 5 liters. Water is used to fit (up to 22-25ºС), pour it right under the root, trying to do not fall on the leaves. If the weather is moderately warm, Barbaris will be completely naturally precipitated.
Each time after irrigation, the ground is neatly loose, reproduce the mulch layer, if necessary. It will help save time on the weeding and delay moisture in the soil, allowing to increase the intervals between watering.
Preparation for winter
Most species do not need special shelter for the winter, without any damage to themselves, even harsh Siberia frosts. The exceptions are the varieties of Barbaris Tunberg.
Young plants under the age of 2-3 are covered by fitting in size with cardboard boxes or tighten the shoots and bundled burlap, building some kind of shag. Additionally, the plant can be insulated, throwing it with foliage, sawdust, chips, finely rushed with newspaper paper, straw.
It is better to progress and cover the Barbaris bushes for the winter, especially if it is expected harsh and low
If the bush does not differ compactness, the rolling circle is cleaned of vegetable garbage and fall asleep by peat crumb, humus. Mulching layer thickness is a minimum of 10-12 cm, at the base of the bush - up to 18-20 cm. As soon as enough snow falls, the plant completely falls asleep.
Sanitary trimming is carried out at the beginning of spring, removing all dry, broken, extinct branches. Forming - 7-10 days after flowering. It is desirable not to shorten the branches more than half. Floral kidneys and fruit marks are formed only on the growth of last season.
Low-speed grades forming trimming is not needed, they have a crown and so neat, similar to a ball or dome.
Barbaris Kustea can be given almost any form
The first time the forming trimming is carried out 2 years after disembarking a bush in the ground. Barbaris in the living hedge, the shoots are triggered by about a third, of single plants - leaving 5-6 growth kidneys.
