Hawthorn

Hawthorn dwells on free bread in the wild. However, sometimes fate throws him into the scene oblivioned people. And he lives him there. After all, the people have long been talking about him that the fruits of him for the heart of human are very helpful.
Two varieties of battle are growing on my site: Early and Late. The first - with round delicious fruits of orange-red. The second fruit is oval, large, bloody-red.
The most amazing thing is that you can not care for the hawthorn, the fruits will still be. In the forest, where he grows, care for no one. But if my beautiful cottage
Give good care, then the fruits will be larger and harvest will be huge.
In the autumn, each plant dropping water. I put the hose for each barrel and lay water until it stops leave. Then I pour out two buckets by humus in the rolling circles.
In the spring before flowering, hawthorn also shed well to all the earth
Around completely soaked. After that I give them two glasses of ash. Somewhere in the middle of the summer I make another feeding with a pigeon litter. During the season, I water twice a week. And I do not remember such a case so that this plant is sick or the pests attacked him.
Thanks to its spines, bushes can serve as a green hedge instead of fence - and beautiful, and reliably, and the benefit is large. In the fall, a late hawthorn with red fruits is especially beautiful.
By the way, the hawthorn is a wonderful dive for vaccinations. I instilled a lot on him - from Quince Japanese to pear. Moreover, the fruits of Japanese quince are larger and frost resistance to them is much higher.
I breed a hawthorn, seeds. At the same time, he does not lose their maternal qualities. Slowing in the fall under winter in specially harvested boxes with a soil. Spring appear seedlings. But even if some seeds are late, then in the next year there will be obligations. Before sowing (for 4-5 months), the seeds are stratifying: mixing them with wet sand, putting in a cellophane bag and put in the refrigerator. To maintain the humidity of the bag periodically shake.
Fruits and hawthorn flowers are very useful for health. From the berries, cook jam, flowers - land. All winter brewing tea. It turns out fragrant and tasty. Of the fresh fruits, I make tincture. They have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, help in the treatment of sclerosis and generally act on toning, remove stressful states, improve sleep and strengthen the entire body. Here are two of my recipe.
20 g of fresh berries omit in boiling water (about 400 ml) and cook
On low heat for 10 minutes, insistant 4 hours. Separately take 10 g of souls, pour boiling water (300 ml) and also to insist 4 hours. After that, measure each infusion of 300 ml, mix, add 200 g of honey and a glass of alcohol.
20 g of leaf and hawthorn flowers to pour boiling water (300 ml) and insistant 4 hours. Infusion strain. 10 g of souls pour the same amount of boiling water and insist. Mix both infusion, add 200 g of honey and a glass of alcohol.
For me, the second recipe is suitable - gives the best result. But it can be complemented first. Sometimes I do this: first I take the first, then after a small break - the second. Tincture take 30 minutes before eating 3 tbsp. l. 3-4 times a day.

For a long life
When I see the scarlet borders of the hawthorn, I immediately remember my grandfather. He passed all the great domestic to Berlin himself. From the bullee, the fate of the revealed, but the hearts on his youth fed. He often told about the nurse Lisa, who had a tincture of hawthorn fighters. And from all ailments. She did it so diligently that her sister was nicknamed in her shelf. Everything secretly laughed at her sign, but the hawthorn, it was visible, did his job. The grandfather lived for a long time and did not complain about his heart.
I wish you longevity. And the hawthorn in this is an idea.
