Cultivation of decorative viburnum: how to propagate buldenezh. Buldenezh: planting and care in the open field

Many gardeners like to grow Kalina Buldenezh on their plots. This plant has many useful properties, it combines all the qualities of viburnum and, in addition, has very beautiful large flowers. it decorative variety, which grows like a shrub, with a lush crown and very abundant flowering... By planting it in their plots, people create a beautiful landscape design... It is not so difficult, the main thing is to follow the rules for caring for decorative viburnum.

Kalina Buldenezh appeared in Russia a long time ago. It was brought into the country under Catherine the Second and at first it was grown only in the royal gardens. Later, the shrub appeared in parks and greenhouses. Long time this plant was considered an exclusively aristocratic culture.

Kalina Buldenezhe also bears the name - Sterile Kalina. When flowering, the shrub does not produce ovaries and fruits.

The plant blooms for a very short time - several weeks from mid-May to June.

Properties of viburnum Buldenezh

This type of plant does not bear fruit, it is extremely decorative.

Shrubs bloom very profusely, and flowers have beneficial features... They are often used in tinctures that are used in cosmetology. But the bark is also useful, which can be processed for useful purposes.

When the buds are just opening, their scent is strongest. It can spread over the entire area, the aroma is very unusual and unforgettable. On initial stage blooming flowers have a white-green tint. When the flowers turn into large balls with a diameter of up to twenty centimeters, they change color and acquire a warm creamy shade.

Kalina Buldenezh is fast-growing shrub... For several years it can reach a height of three or four meters... Having a large spreading crown, it can give shade in summer period, under which it will be pleasant to sit. It is planted near the gazebos so that the viburnum can not only decorate with its appearance but also aroma.

Bush tolerates frost well, not very picky about the composition of the soil and different dressings... The main thing a plant needs is constant watering. It needs a lot of moisture to achieve strong flowering.

Planting viburnum Buldenezh

This shrub is propagated only dividing the bush, cuttings or layering.

Buldenezh does not produce seeds and therefore cannot be propagated in this way.

During landing, you need to try to create as much favorable conditions so that the viburnum can take root in a new place and bloom next year.

The main thing is to choose right place for her and prepare the soil for planting. Timing to get started is also an important point for good breeding.

Timing

Planting viburnum Buldenezh is best in early spring or late autumn, before the start of frost. Spring is the best time, since the stems of the plant are not yet filled with sap, and division can be safely performed.

If the landing is in autumn period, this can be useful for the bush. Viburnum can be planted before freezing only by dividing the roots. She will have enough time to adapt and get accustomed to the new season.

The breeding method directly depends on which planting method is chosen by the gardener.

Root division... This is an uncomplicated method. For him, you need to choose a large bush and find a lateral process. Having carefully separated it from the main root, the shoot must be immediately planted in the ground.
By layering... In order to obtain planting material, you need to do a few simple manipulations. The lower branch, which is closest to the ground, is taken, bent slightly and sprinkled with earth. After a while, roots will appear in the place covered with soil, and the layer will be ready.
By cuttings planting viburnum Buldenezh is much more difficult. It will take longer for the cutting to take root. If the process is delayed, then the plant will not have time to adapt and prepare for wintering.

To obtain the material, a branch is planted with seven or nine buds and buried in the soil of a closed ground. This requires constant watering and heat air.

If the cutting is planted in the greenhouse in the fall, it should remain there until spring. With its onset, it is transplanted into open ground.

Choosing a landing site

Kalina Buldenezh is very loves wet soil and grows well near bodies of water and in lowlands where moisture and shade may exist.

If there are no such places on the site, you need to try to create them yourself.

The rest of the criteria are not important for Buldenezh viburnum, it is quite unpretentious and can find everything it needs in any type of soil.

Bushes are not afraid strong wind, but better to tie them, since the wood is very fragile and can break.

Ornamental viburnum is planted in single bushes or in groups, it is in good harmony with other plants.

Soil preparation

For single landings, you will need small pit about sixty centimeters. It needs to be watered very abundantly. After that, place drainage on the bottom. It can have a different composition: for example, stones, tree bark, and much more.

The pit space needs to be filled with nutrient mixture or compost and start planting viburnum.

If all points are followed correctly, the plant will take root well in a new place and will be covered next fall big amount large flowers.

Viburnum care

Despite the fact that the plant is unpretentious, it still needs proper care. If everything is done correctly, then the bush will grow large and give abundant flowering.

The main points of care are watering, periodic feeding and timely pruning of old shoots.

Pest control

Viburnum bushes, like most garden plants, can be overcome by pests. They need to be dealt with in a timely manner, before they begin to destroy shoots and leaves. If you start the process, the bush may die.

Pests:

Viburnum leaf beetle;
Beetle beetle;
Viburnum aphid.

The plant can be cured by treating it with an aqueous solution based on decoctions of herbs or spices. It is useful to add a little to it laundry soap to get rid of pests completely.

I bought a dacha with my wife and decided to create a beautiful landscape design. Started planting different flowers and decorate the site. Attention was attracted by the varieties of viburnum Buldenezh, which, as they said, is very unpretentious in care. We have a small pond, and my wife decided that Kalina would grow comfortably next to it. Picked up suitable grade, the reproduction of which was not difficult and several shoots were planted. When time passed, they turned into beautiful bushes, the flowering of which we admire every year.

When there was time for gardening, I decided to plant on my site beautiful plants... Most of all from the descriptions I liked the decorative viburnum Buldenezh. To create a beautiful landscape design, I had to try. To ensure reproduction, I made several cuttings and planted them. After that, she began to look after them and wait for the result. In the spring the bush bloomed, it was just beautiful.

Buldenezh. Such beautiful name viburnum, which translates as "snowball", belongs to the French. Europe got acquainted with this shrub more than four centuries ago. Buldenezh appeared in Russia under Catherine II. "Snowball", or "snowfield", at that time was grown at the palace, in the gardens and parks of the estates of wealthy landowners. In the 18th century, gardens were known in which only buldenezh grew. Gardeners, masters of their craft, surprised Europe with the beauty of the Snow Globe's standard forms.

Snowballs of bulldoze inflorescences

Description of Buldenezh

Buldenezh is decorative form viburnum ordinary. The height of the spreading shrub is from 2 to 3.5 meters. I saw bushes that were slightly higher. In late spring - early summer, snow-white balls of inflorescences appear on the bush. Their diameter is 7 - 15 cm. The inflorescences consist of sterile, odorless flowers. As the bush matures, the inflorescences become larger: behind them, even the leaves are not visible. These balls stay on the bush for 20 to 30 days.

Bulldozer care

A place. It is best to grow Kalina Buldenezh in light partial shade. On sunny place flowering will be shorter. In the shade - very weak, with small loose inflorescences. And the pests will torture you there. It happens that the place seems to be suitable, and the soil meets all standards, and the shrub does not want to grow or bloom in any way. In this case, you urgently need to look for another place for Kalina. It must be remembered that the bulldozer is planted for several decades, so the choice of a place is a responsible matter. Some shrubs continue to bloom even at the age of 60.

The soil. Kalina Buldenezh grows well on loose, nutritious, moderately moist soil. It is very important to prepare a good planting hole for it, at least 50 cm x 60 cm in size. Fill it with a soil mixture with a large supply of nutrients. For example, mix several buckets of compost, peat and sand. Wood ash (at least 3 glasses) and nitrophosphate or fertilizer granules (quantity according to the instructions) are added to them. This is very important for successful cultivation bulldozing. Severe clay soil need to be cultivated by adding humus, peat and sand to it.

Winter hardiness. The snow globe is a fairly winter-hardy crop that does not need to be covered for the winter. However, in the first years of life, it is advisable to insure yourself and insulate the roots with humus at the end of autumn. This simple work will not only protect them from freezing in severe winters with little snow, but also feed the plant. If you sow lawn grasses under a bush, or keep the existing lawn during planting, then the dense turf will become reliable protection in any weather. In winters that are too frosty and with little snow, the bulldozer can freeze a little. But it quickly overgrows with absolutely healthy shoots.

Watering. The snow globe is watered frequently and abundantly. It's a viburnum. Every autumn, before the onset of cold weather, it is important to shed the soil well under the bush, which prevents tissue dehydration in winter period protecting the plant from freezing.

Top dressing. Good feeding is good for the bush. It could be wood ash or a solution of complex fertilizers. Loves viburnum and well-rotted organic matter. Especially in the spring. In the summer, you can sometimes use an infusion of grass diluted with water, which has managed to ferment, to feed the bulldozer. From mid-August, all feeding is stopped.

Pests. Viburnum is a delicacy for aphids and leaf beetles. I have not seen such fat and fat aphids on any other plants as on the Bulldog. Aphids appear early, at the very beginning of flowering. Worst of all, it populates not only the tops of young shoots, but also the balls of inflorescences. Ant paths with insects hurrying to "milk" the aphids are laid on the trunk and branches. Spraying with INTA-VIR or Spark solution (diluted according to the instructions) helps to cope with aphids. Two or three treatments with an interval of 10 days are enough for the aphid to disappear for a while. A decoction of tobacco also helps from aphids, to which you need to add about 40 g of green soap to a bucket of broth. An emergency method is a strong jet of water from a hose, which knocks down aphids that have clung to the shoots. The jet should be of such power as to wash the pest out of the inflorescences, but not spoil the shape of the snow-white balls.

Another pest of viburnum buldenezh is the viburnum leaf beetle. Preventive measures save him from his presence on the bulldoze (and other viburnums). The best time for the destruction of wintering clutches of viburnum leaf beetle on the tops of shoots - late autumn and early spring... In the spring, the strong crust allows you to stand on the snowdrifts to see the upper tips of the branches. If the characteristic dark tubercles of the egg-laying are found, then it is imperative to cut and destroy these parts of the shoots. In the spring they are sprayed with "chemistry" (Fufanon, Karbofos, etc.)

Pruning. Buldenezh without pruning soon thickens, which affects the deterioration of its flowering. In the spring, before flowering, damaged and dried branches are cut off. No need to leave weak shoots growing in the center of the bush. They are doomed due to lack of light and food. But for aphids, this is a real paradise. After the end of flowering, the central part is thinned out and individual side shoots... it the right time in order to reduce the size of the bush. The plant tolerates such pruning painlessly. Since the end of August, the bush is not touched, they give it the opportunity to get stronger and prepare for winter.

Buldenezh - every year there are more and more inflorescences

Breeding Buldenezh

The flowers of the buldenezh are sterile; only sterile flowers are collected in the inflorescences. Therefore, there are no fruits with seeds. Possibly only vegetative propagation Snow globe by layering, cuttings (especially green ones) and dividing the bush.

Buldenezh is more often propagated by layering in late spring - early summer. The most guaranteed option is to fold back the flexible annual shoots and pin them into shallow (10 - 12 cm) grooves. Sprinkle on top with soil or well-decomposed compost and watered. You will have to moisten the soil regularly to keep it moist all the time. The rooted part of the shoot is separated from the bush with a secateurs. The seedling is left for some time next to the mother bush or transplanted into a school for growing. The first flowering occurs in two to three years.

Cuttings can be obtained during summer pruning bush. More often, shoots of the current year are used for cuttings, on which two pairs of buds are left. The lower leaves are cut, and the upper ones are halved. The cutting is prepared according to all the rules: the upper cut should be straight, and the lower slanting. Heteroauxin or root root accelerates the rooting process. Planting depth - about 2 cm. Cuttings will have time not only to take root over the summer, but even to give young shoots. Cuttings from last year's shoots also take root well. They are cut in June. If you create everything the necessary conditions(make a bed with loose soil, stretch plastic wrap on low arcs, shade and equalize the air temperature with lutrasil, regularly spray warm water etc.), then the cuttings will quickly become strong seedlings. Many amateur gardeners root cuttings under hoods, into which they turn five-liter bottles from under drinking water if you cut off the bottom of them. Rooted cuttings are grown in a school.

When planting seedlings, the root collar is slightly (3 - 4 cm) deepened. First, the root system grows. At this time, it seems that the bulldozer sapling is growing slowly. But soon its shoots begin to noticeably increase in size. A bush at the age of 3-4 years may already be one and a half meters in height.

Decorativeness and flowering of the buldenezh bush

Buldenezh looks good at any time of the year. In winter, a fairly tall bush stands out in relief against the background white snow... In early spring, snowdrops, crocuses, liverwort, marigold and other early flowering plants bloom under its branches.

In late May - early June, the finest hour of the Snow Globe begins. First, greenish-white inflorescences appear, soon they become dazzling white. It becomes clear why this decorative viburnum was called the Snow Globe. It seems that the whole bush is covered with snowballs. The foliage remains fresh all summer, and in autumn the bush with painted leaves looks no less picturesque.

The snow globe looks great as a separately growing bush (tapeworm). It is not spoiled by the neighborhood with other plants. Viburnum looks romantic next to water.

The bulldoze tree charms. In order to get it, only the most direct escape is left. It will become the basis of a stem with a height of 100 - 120 cm. It is better to give the crown a spherical shape. And correct it as needed.

Viburnum is one of the most popular trees in Russia. Songs are composed about it, parks and city streets are decorated with it. Since the time of Catherine II, the viburnum Bldenezh variety has been known. Lush large snow-white inflorescences gave it its name: translated from the native language of the author of the variety, the Frenchman Lemoine, it sounds like "snowball".

Viburnum Boule de Neige is a representative of a wide genus of Viburnum vulgaris. Buldenezh can stretch up to four meters. Lush, with long flowering, the tree bears fruit for fifty years. Balls of white flowers bloom in the first summer months and stay on the branches for two to four weeks.

The first feature of the variety is that the beginning of flowering is characterized by greenish shades, then smoothly transitions to a pure white color. The splendor of the colors ends with pink shades.

Another hallmark viburnum buldenezh is that it absolutely does not smell.

The roots of the tree are located close to the surface of the soil layer, therefore, although the variety is considered winter-hardy, it can be partially affected in the harsh and snowless Russian winters.

Landing

It is impossible to achieve long flowering and long life of viburnum without correct fit sapling. The variety feels most comfortable where the earth is in a constantly moist state. The plant does not tolerate dark places, it needs light partial shade during daylight hours.

Planting of seedlings should be done in the off-season, preferably on cloudy but warm spring and autumn days. Buldenezh in high summer temperatures and in the direct rays of the burning sun, most likely, will not take root.

To plant a sapling, start early. The prepared groove in the soil should be half a meter wide and the same depth. As drainage, which will serve as the basis for our planting, stones (cracked brick or large rubble) mixed with river sand are used.

In order for a plant to take root, a nutrient medium is needed. To create it, mix compost with soil from nearby beds, mix complex fertilizer and ash into the solution. We collect half of the resulting substance in a pile in our pit. We install the prepared seedling on it. Along its edges we straighten root system plants, slightly bury the root collar. Fill the hole with the new tree with the left mixture.

After planting, spill the roots with water. After watering, the solution will settle at the base of the seedling. You can raise the level of the soil surface by using land from the garden. Final stage planting - mulching the root zone. The purpose of this action is to retain moisture at the roots and provide oxygen to them.

According to the standard, each tree should have at least four to four and a half meters of area. If there are other trees in the immediate vicinity, the viburnum crown will not be able to develop fully.

Care

Taking care of this type of culture is not difficult. Traditional pruning of broken and frozen branches is carried out in early spring; in late autumn, gardeners remove all diseased shoots and those branches that have been damaged.

In anticipation of winter, you can carry out corrective pruning of shoots to maintain or improve the shape of the crown. It is on these days that the tree will painlessly survive the transformation into a bush: you just need to cut it down to the height that is required for the bush. In the spring, the remaining stump will give abundant shoots.

By the way, shoots will also go from the root system. If the gardener does not have a goal to grow a living green wall with balls of white inflorescences, such branches should be removed in the spring. We process the saw cut copper sulfate and apply a layer of garden varnish.

Important! If the summer turned out to be dry, bulldoze requires constant additional moisture to the roots.

In the middle of autumn, the bulldoze should be shed well. An abundant supply of water will give an impetus to the growth of the root system. In addition, it will strengthen the tree itself and its roots, and it will be easier for the viburnum to survive the winter frosts.

Fertilizer

Buldenezh, like other garden trees, needs to be fertilized. The flowering and fruiting of the culture directly depends on this. The nutrient mixture that came to the seedling during planting gives it the strength to develop for the first couple of years.

Then comes the turn nitrogen fertilization which are effective in spring fertilization of plants. Although at this time you can get by with compost. Then, in early spring, for a more active flowering, we process the branches with a fertilizer containing boron. Autumn dressing is, first of all, fertilizers with a high content of phosphorus and potassium.

For the introduction of nutrients, two methods are acceptable here. In the first case, we sprinkle the additive around the trunk, mix it with the ground with a rake and pour a couple of watering cans onto the roots. In the second, on the ground near the trunk, we make several holes with a garden drill, it is enough to deepen by 25-30 centimeters. We take fertilizer and read the instructions carefully. Distribute the prescribed amount of powder between the holes, fall asleep and water abundantly.

Reproduction

Basically, Buldenezh is propagated vegetatively:

Layers

The first method is suitable for spring breeding... For planting from a growing viburnum bush, bend a branch to the ground. Fix in a pre-prepared hole. In order for the shoot to take root, it should be covered with humus from above and watered thoroughly. The soil near the layer should be constantly moistened.

More or less viable roots are formed only after 4-5 months. They are already able to endure the winter, but not on their own. They can be separated from the trunk no earlier than a couple of years after rooting.

Viburnum division

This manipulation is carried out in the summer. This requires wet, cloudy weather: division of the root system is always stress for the plant, it receives mechanical injury. The peculiarity of the approach lies in the fact that only those plants that grow in bush are suitable here, respectively, many shoots appear from the ground.

To divide the roots, you should dig up with a shovel and divide the root system so that each component contains active shoots and roots. Each bush is planted at a distance of 2 m from each other. After planting, the plants are watered abundantly with water.

Cuttings

In early June, when the extended branches are pruned since last year, the gardener has a large number of planting material. Cuttings with a single internode (their length is seven to eight centimeters) take root and take root in the ground during the three summer months.

To plant such cuttings, you will need humus or river sand without unnecessary garbage. In an outdoor greenhouse, a bed of humus is formed (a layer of 7-20 cm), sand is poured on top. The cuttings, planted a couple of centimeters deep, are closed with arcs and two layers of agrofibre are pulled over them. Watering such plantings should be warm water for at least a couple of weeks.

The last breeding method for viburnum buldenezh is the most painless and fastest.

Pests and diseases

With viburnum buldenezh, the defeat of three pests is associated:

shield;
leaf beetle.

In addition, the trees are often affected by powdery mildew and mottling.

Aphid

Aphids spoil not only the leaves, but also the snow-white balls of viburnum inflorescences. The most destructive insect for this species is incompatible with spraying the bush with a mixture of tobacco and green soap or a solution of water and ordinary laundry soap. After spraying, the mixture is not washed off.

There are also chemicals against the pest. They should be used strictly following the instructions. Preventive measures are carried out twice a season: at the end of May and at the end of August.

Shield

To prevent the appearance of the scabbard on the branches of the bulldozer, dilute the usual ash and household soap. Garlic infusion is also suitable. Treatment - twice a season, similar to spraying from aphids. From chemicals you can advise aktara and agrovertin.

Leaf beetle

The main means of dealing with this pest is preventive measures. In May and October - treatment with chemicals, throughout the season - increased attention to affected foliage and shoots. The branches should be cut off immediately and in a timely manner, the leaves should be torn off. Such actions will help prevent the spread of the leaf beetle.

Powdery mildew

To prevent this fungus from spreading, you need to make sure that the crown is not thickened, and the grass near the trunk is mowed. If signs of powdery mildew become noticeable, the affected areas should be sprayed with copper sulfate (0.5% solution) or Bordeaux liquid. Effective treatment will be in the spring, before the leaves have blossomed. From folk remedies the use of a solution of water and garlic or onions is recommended.

Following our tips will help you grow luxurious snowballs of viburnum buldenezh on the site. Ornamental plant will delight you for 50 years, blooming with snow-white inflorescences from year to year.

Its main difference from the usual viburnum in the structure of the inflorescences... In the common viburnum, they resemble umbrellas, and large white sterile flowers are located only at the edges. Buldenezh's inflorescences are collected in a strong ball, like a snowball - hence the name.

When it blooms

In viburnum buldenezh, all the flowers in the inflorescence are sterile (it does not produce berries) and are collected in a dense ball with a diameter of 8-10 (sometimes up to 15) cm, similar to a snowball or a pompom. The "snow globe" blooms in late May - early June, blooms for 2-3 weeks.

First, greenish, then creamy and, finally, snow-white inflorescences (there are forms with pink flowers) hang at the ends of branches gracefully curved under their weight.

The "snow globe" does not produce fruit, therefore, in the fall, it is decorated only with foliage, which acquires red tones and does not fly off the branches for a long time.

Where it looks better

Buldenezh is frost-hardy and requires shelter for the winter only in the north of Central Russia. Single bushes and small groups of this viburnum look especially good. against the backdrop of a well-groomed green lawn at the corners and bends of the paths, at a well, a bench or a gazebo.

Groups can consist only of viburnum or include other shrubs, for example, low spireas or dwarf red-leaved barberry: these plants will cover only the lower part of the stems of the viburnum buldenezh, allowing you to admire its inflorescences and shading them dark color foliage.

Choosing a landing site

"Snow globe" is not very picky about soil conditions and lighting. However, shading, dry and poor soils have a significant effect on the size and number of inflorescences.

Landing: having chosen a place for planting, you need to dig a hole 40x40 cm (if the soil is fertile) or a little more, up to 60 cm, where the soil is poor. The pit is filled with nutritious compost, to which you can add rotted manure, and mineral fertilizers are applied.

Seedling preparation: the seedling must also be prepared for planting. To do this, the shoots are cut to 1/3 - 1/4 of their length. At spring planting this is done immediately, and in the autumn - in the spring of next year. The ends are cut off at the roots so that they fit well in the pit and grow more actively.

Planting a bush

The bush is planted so that the root collar is 2-3 cm below the soil surface. Then the plant is abundantly watered and the trunk circle is mulched with peat or rotten leaves (layer 6-7 cm), or simply spud.

In this case, it is necessary to regularly loosen the soil in the trunk circle so that a crust does not form. Under the mulch, the soil remains in a normal state for a long time, so only weeding and watering are needed.

Watering the plant

It is useful to water adult bushes of the "snow globe" at least once a year, at the beginning of flowering. In cold and rainy summers, you can do without watering, and in hot and dry summers, you should water several times. It must be borne in mind that excessive dryness and heat lead to a reduction in flowering time.

Kalina Buldenezh will grow on neglected area , but this will make it difficult to care for her or negate its results. In order for watering and top dressing to benefit the “snow globe” bush, a 1 m diameter near-trunk circle must be free of weeds.

Top dressing

Depending on the condition of the plant and the nature of the soil feeding is carried out annually or every two years, in the spring, after the soil dries up. One bush requires 5-8 kg of nutritious compost, 25-30 g of ammonium nitrate, 40-50 g of superphosphate and 10-25 g of potassium salt.

Mineral fertilizers can simply be spread evenly under the bush and embedded in the soil by loosening. If the trunk circle is kept under mulch, then it is removed for the time of irrigation and fertilization.

Pruning viburnum Buldenezh

Kalina buldenezh, like any shrub, needs pruning, which is carried out to form, thin out and rejuvenate the bush.

Before pruning, it should be remembered that the flower buds of this shrub are formed on the shoots of the second year of life, so a heavily pruned bush will not bloom next summer. But in a year it will delight you with a particularly lush flower cascade.

Crown formation

Young 2-3-year-old plants, planted in a permanent place and having a thin aerial part, need pruning of the formation. To get a lush bush, each shoot is cut off, leaving 3-4 pairs of buds from the base.

This is done annually until the bush reaches the desired density and shape. Adult plants undergo shaping pruning only to correct the crown after damage or to reduce its size.

Plant thinning

Thinning is carried out as needed and consists in the removal of weak and dead branches or part of the branches in too dense areas of the crown. Inspection of bushes of all ages must be carried out every year.

Rejuvenation: old, poorly growing and flowering bushes need rejuvenation. For this, the plants are cut, or rather, cut off "on a stump" at a height of 15-30 cm or more.

After this operation, dormant buds located below the cut start to grow, forming strong young shoots. Such a rejuvenated plant needs shaping pruning.

All types of pruning are carried out in early spring.- start leaving when all aerial part free from the snow cover. After pruning, the bush needs to be well fed, then the young shoots will be strong and strong.

Pests

Unfortunately, the viburnum buldenezh suffers greatly from pests, especially from the larvae and beetles of the viburnum leaf beetle and from the viburnum leaf-rolling aphid.

As a rule, these pests do not appear on the bushes every year, but if this happens, then you have to admire not a "snow globe", but a bare bush with remnants of leaves hanging here and there.

However, modern facilities plant protection allows you to avoid adversity. If in the spring, before budding, the bushes are sprayed with a solution of nitrafen or inta-vira, then no pests will be afraid of the viburnum.

Propagation by cuttings

The "snow globe" is propagated only in a vegetative way: with green (summer) cuttings, which are used by the shoots of the current year that are beginning to lignify. They bend well, but do not break. Severely lignified shoots are not suitable.

Cuttings 4-5 cm long with 1-2 internodes are cut sharp knife... Slices should be oblique, the lower one - under the kidney, the upper one - above it.

Cut cuttings are immediately planted in a greenhouse in a layer of humus 8-12 cm thick, covered with 3-4 cm of sand on top. Planting depth is 1.5-2 cm. Cuttings should be sprayed and watered, shaded from bright sunlight.

It shouldn't be too cold in the greenhouse. Rooting begins in 2-3 weeks, and frequent spraying with water is especially important during this period.

In the second half of August, when the cuttings have sufficiently developed the root system, they are transplanted to a garden bed, where, before the onset of cold weather, they have time to get stronger and take root well.

Varieties of ornamental shrubs

Choose a type of buldenezh regarding use in landscape gardening of the site:

Ordinary form. It is famous among summer residents, forms voluminous bushes with hanging branches, hygrophilous. They create garden compositions with dark-colored lilacs and conifers.
Decorative form. It has a more compact size.
Viburnum shape buldenezh roseum. According to its characteristics, it repeats the mother's form of buldenezh, but with double flowers, which, when dissolved, have a greenish tint, gradually turning into a pastel pink color. It grows up to 3 meters in height, suitable for the formation of a standard.

With a vast personal area, it is appropriate to plant buldenezh in group plantings, not far from the water surface of lakes or streams. Designers recommend placing shrubs along fences to decorate unsightly areas.

Permanent growing place

Planting and caring for roseum viburnum involves reproduction of a shrub, providing a seedling comfortable conditions for rooting. Better to engage in planting in preparation for hibernation. Choose a place in the east or west direction so that the plant is illuminated by the sun for half a day. On open place the leaves will get burned, and in the shade the inflorescences will be much smaller than those declared in the description of the variety.

Loose soil is suitable for planting. You should place the bushes near the reservoir or take care of watering, but without stagnant water, so that the roots receive enough moisture.

To avoid decay of the root system, be sure to take care of drainage in the planting pit.

Secrets of planting a seedling

To protect the root collar of the viburnum from drying out, it should be slightly buried in the ground when planting. The trunk circle is tamped in order to conveniently water and mulch a young plant. Some gardeners constantly spud the trunk circle, but you can do better - fill it with rotted sawdust or peat around the perimeter, so the soil will remain moist for a long time, and the weeds will not sprout to the surface.

Secrets of a Successful Landing:

Dig a planting hole up to 80 cm deep, and 60 cm long on both sides. One pit is enough for one seedling, but if desired, group plantings of several pieces at once are allowed.
A layer is poured to the bottom broken brick, pebbles or large pieces of bark. This forms a drainage layer, which helps to retain moisture near the roots.
The next layer is a substrate consisting of 4 buckets of compost, 600 g of ash and 200 g of nitroammofoska.
The stalk is placed 3 cm below the soil level, covered with soil, tamped and watered abundantly.
A thick layer of mulch is immediately poured in order to retain moisture and heat.

Kalina Buldenezh should be located in a group according to the scheme 2 by 2 meters. The shrub quickly grows powerful roots, after 3 years it will delight you with lush inflorescences.

Reproduction methods

Kalina buldenezh and roseum are one and the same, so the methods of reproduction and transplantation do not differ. All types of ornamental shrubs are bred vegetatively.

Reproduction of buldenezh by layering

In the spring, they begin to root the layers:

grooves up to 10 cm long should be dug near the base of the bush
young layers are carefully tilted to the surface of the ground, placed in grooves
staples or hooks fix shoots in the ground
grooves are covered with soil, filled with rainwater
after germination of young shoots, hilling is carried out, they take care of the moisture of the earth

In autumn, the rooted processes are separated from the mother liquor, transplanted into separate containers. After 2 years, young bushes are transplanted to a permanent place.

Time-consuming cuttings process

after pruning the bush in the summer, a few cuttings are left
cuttings are cut at an angle of 45 degrees, bark is exposed at the base
it is necessary to leave one internode, to cut off the remaining leaves
for a day, shoots are dipped into Kornevin's solution to activate the formation of roots
prepare a soil mixture from the same parts of humus, sand and sod land
cuttings are planted to a depth of 2 cm

Cover the cuttings plastic bottles or plastic wrap to maintain high humidity... Shoots are regularly inspected, sprinkled regularly. If the conditions are met, then soon the cuttings will take root, they will begin to release young shoots.

Bush division - for professionals only

In autumn, a young shoot from the mother liquor is cut out with a sharp shovel, planted separately. Also, you cannot take cuttings for rooting in the last month of summer, because the plant begins to prepare for wintering and accumulates nutrients, and pruning activates the emergence of new shoots.

Providing optimal care

A chic hedge of lush ones will attract rapturous glances.

Regular care should be taken so that the shrub will please with snow-white inflorescences:

Sow free space around the plant lawn grasses that will protect the root system in winter. In severe winters, shoots can freeze, but with a strong root zone they will quickly recover and grow.
Provide abundant watering. 2 buckets of water are poured under each plant twice a week. In dry weather, watering is done more often, special attention is paid to young plantings.
Fertilizers are applied only after watering, so as not to burn the roots. With the beginning of the growing season, fertilize with nitroammophos, from the middle of summer, add superphosphate and potassium nitrate.
Weed control is carried out regularly.
In the second year of growth, they begin formative pruning of the shrub.
After flowering, dry branches that thicken the crown are removed, long shoots are shortened; from the end of summer, pruning cannot be done.
Spraying is carried out against diseases and pests.

Compliance with the rules for caring for ornamental shrubs will be a guarantee healthy looking plants, and timely pruning will prevent the appearance of weakened branches. They take care of the supports for the bush, under the weight of the heavy snow caps of the inflorescences, the branches break and crack.

Fertilizers and feeding

Abundant flowering of ornamental shrubs depends on top dressing. For the first couple of years, a young plant has enough nutrition, because when laying the planting hole, all the components for the growth of the root system were introduced.

After the appearance of the first leaves in the spring, they are fed with nitrogen, it is also recommended to add organic matter under each bush - two buckets of compost.

In autumn, granulated potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are scattered under the plants. Be sure to loosen and spill the soil with water before applying top dressing.

A reminder to saturate the plant with fertilizers as much as possible:

make holes with a garden drill or crowbar around the entire perimeter of the bush
pour fertilizer evenly into the holes
the whole application rate is divided by the number of holes
produce abundant rainwater irrigation

Do not exceed the permissible fertilizer rate per plant. With an increase in the amount of feeding, the bush, instead of flowering, will begin to build up a green mass, that is, to fatten. If desired, gardeners recommend sprinkling the plant on the leaves just before flowering, for this they use a complex fertilizer containing boron, which stimulates the formation of huge inflorescences.

Formation

A shrub without timely pruning will turn into an untidy plant with brittle branches, poorly forming inflorescences. Young bushes are not subjected to strong pruning, they give time to build up a powerful root system. The gardener must timely carry out work on pruning an adult plant, turn on imagination for the formation of unusual shapes and large-scale flowering in the next season.

Weeping form formation

To form a multi-stem shrub, all branches should be cut off at a distance of 20 cm from the ground. In the first year, the bulldozer is not allowed to bloom, so that the plant does not waste all its reserves on the formation of buds. All inflorescences are broken out, and at the end of summer, young shoots are pinched.

When the viburnum bush grows, pruning should be done immediately after the inflorescences dry in order to activate the laying of flower buds for the next season. Pruning done in spring will weaken the bush and prevent it from blooming profusely. Before the start of bud formation, it is allowed to remove only dry and broken branches. V summer time they cut the shrub, shorten the side shoots a little, and remove weak branches in the center at their own discretion. All pruning is stopped with the onset of August, the plant is allowed to prepare for wintering. With age, the bush increases its mass, they take care of the garter of young shoots to wooden supports.

Stamp form

Buldenezh responds well to shaping pruning, which makes it possible to form a lush crown, both on a high and on a low trunk.

Choose the strongest central shoot that can withstand a heavy crown. Further, all lateral buds and shoots are cut out, root shoots are regularly removed. The measures are repeated for several years until the desired plant height is obtained, after which the upper bud is pinched. It remains to apply the skill in the haircut to get lush crown or create geometric shapes as desired.

Damage by pests and diseases

Even with a little horticultural experience, it is not difficult to plant and care for Kalina Buldenezh. The main problem is diseases and, which can destroy the plant in a few days:

The viburnum leaf beetle lays eggs under the bark, and the larvae that appear eat the leaves of the bush, leaving behind only veins. Before the onset of frost, they begin to destroy the eggs of the pest, which are most often located on the tops of the branches. In winter, climb the snow crust to examine the shoots for dark-colored egg-laying growths in order to cut and burn the affected branches. In the spring, viburnum should be treated with Karbofos or Fufanon.
With the beginning of flowering appears in huge numbers aphid. Insects not only stick around young shoots, but also settle on the inflorescences of the bush. Dilute according to the instructions Iskra or INTA-VIR, carry out three sprays every decade. A strong infusion of tobacco with 50 g of green soap diluted in a bucket of water will help to defeat the invasion of aphids. When nothing of the "chemistry" was at hand, you can direct a stream of water from a hose to the shoots to wash off the aphids. Control the water pressure so as not to spoil the lush inflorescences.
The plant is also affected by the scabbard, therefore, the treatment is carried out with Agravertin, Aktara or Fufanon. If captured by a pest small area, apply an infusion of ash or garlic with laundry soap.
Viburnum gall midge damages flower buds. Young individuals hibernate in the soil layer, wrapped in spider cocoons. Adult females lay eggs inside the bud, and the larvae develop here, so bloated, ugly inflorescences are formed. In early spring digging trunk circle, before and after flowering, the shrub is treated with Karbofos.

All spraying should be planned for the evening in dry, calm weather. A visual inspection of the bulldozer should be carried out regularly for the presence of pests in order to start taking action in time. If on personal plot many different plants, then it will not be possible to exclude the appearance of a new wave of pests.

Ornamental shrubs of Buldenezh are affected by diseases:

Powdery mildew. Determined by bloom white on the leaves of the plant, which becomes more and more distinct over time. Spraying with a solution of foundationol is carried out once (25 g of substance will be required for a bucket of water). Watering only at the root, reducing the amount of watering, also destroying weeds that are carriers of powdery mildew (wheatgrass is especially dangerous).
Rust. Patches of bright orange color appeared on the leaves. Immediately spray the bush with Bordeaux liquid to eliminate the focus of the disease.
Gardeners note that diseases can develop so rapidly that in a short time they move to neighboring plants. Sometimes the plant is so plentiful that it remains only to destroy it so as not to lose the rest of the flowering trees and shrubs.

Most often, diseases affect the bulldoze growing in thickened plantings. Healthy shrubs grow freely, they have a thin crown, weeds are mowed under the plants.

Garden decoration

At any time of the year, the buldenezh viburnum bush looks favorably in the garden. Due to its good winter hardiness, it remains without shelter in frost, therefore, the article stands out among the snowdrifts. Under the ornamental shrub, after the snow melts, primroses appear, bright stars burning under the openwork branches.

On the eve of summer ornamental shrub is experiencing a stellar time. The shrub of the snow globe throws out pale green flower buds, which explode in huge dazzling clumps of inflorescences.

Even after flowering, large carved foliage remains decorative, changing color from green to yellowish red.

It is not at all difficult to plant a decorative buldenezh bush on a personal plot. The plant is available not only to experienced gardeners, but also to amateurs. It is worth giving it minimal care, planting it on fertile soil, providing it with watering and fertilizing, so that every spring you can see an enchanting spectacle - a spectacular bush sprinkled snow balls inflorescences.
