- Rhizome is examined for traces of rot or damage. If so are there, the removal of "bad" roots is carried out. The location of the cut to prevent fungal hits and the leakage of the juice is processed by a garden boiler.
- Then the rhizome is immersed in a pit at 8-9 cm. The above-ground part of the guise should be in a strictly vertical position. One- or two-year-old shoots are better rooted. If their height is more than 70 cm, they are pruning them before this mark.
- Then the shrub is watered with enough water (10-15 liters) and mulched with sawdust or peat.
- To increase yields, it is better to plant gums in a pair. A sufficient distance between shrubs is 1.7-2 meters. But during single growth, the Gums also be fruitful due to the ability to self-poll.
Shrub Gumi: how to multiply?
Gardeners experimenters claim that the Gums are multiplied with different ways: seeds, stalling, grain. But the majority leans to the purchase of seedlings, since this is the easiest method to grow hums on the site without hassle.

- Side twigs are cut with a length of 8-11 cm long, better if they are with a heel.
- Upper two leafs half cut.
- Sections are processed by growth stimulants, for example, naphthyl-shown acid.
- Then they stick into coarse sand, they are poured, tightened with film shelter.
- Rooting occurs 45-60 days.
- For the whole of this period, you need to take care of the cuttings from bright light, and regularly moisturize the soil.
Reproduction of the guimy grain
GUY Garden shrubs breeds after harvest:
- On the shrub selected shoots located at the very bottom.
- 5-7 cm overcooked in place for the decomposition.
- On the shoot, a small nozzle is made and processed by row.
- Then the escape is fixed on the ground with wire stiletts and falls asleep the earth.
- If this method fails to fix the twig, you can put a suitable cargo for a couple of days until it adapts to a new position.
- The soil in place of the tank must be moisturized daily.
- With the arrival of June, the tank is released from the clamps, digging and examined for the presence of rhizomes.
- Then the secateur is separated from the maternal shrub and transplanted into the pots for further increasing the root system.
Seed reproduction of Gumi.

- Sowing seeds in open ground in October-November. For sowing is selected immediately permanent place, taking into account all the requirements of the Gum to the soil and lighting.

Gumi shrub, landing and care
Loch multi-flower does not need strengthened care. All concerns about this culture are reduced to the following work:
- The main concern for Gumi is watering. A bush is poorly tolerates moisture deficit, so it is necessary to regularly water it. For one shrub in the hot season, 20-25 liters of water for one watering are required. But if there is no good drainage in the pit, it is important not to overdo it, otherwise the roots will hit the rot, and the Gumi will die.
- Fertilize shrubs twice in season. Sustainer Gumi, when blooms, needs additional fertilizer by humus. Also enrich the soil with nitrogen fertilizers and ashes need early in the spring and after harvesting.
- It is important to spend in a timely manner or immediately meditate the near-stop plot of land. Delete weeds need to be completely and better to do after watering. This allows you to preserve moisture and improve the enrichment of the earth with oxygen.
- The root system of the Gum is not very deep (not deeper than 40 cm), so it takes from time to time to loosen. Over time, the roots are strongly branched and often leave the borders of the landing pit. On the roots you can see rounded growths that inexperienced gardeners are taken for the disease and remove them. But in fact, these neoplasms serve as a "house" for nitrogenous colonies of microorganisms. Removing them, the guises are deprived of the source of useful substances.
- When conducting trimming it is important to remember that most of the future flower kidneys appear in the lower segments of young shoots, and the growth kidneys are located on top. On short increases (up to 30 cm), the wounds are formed over the entire length, so they are not shortened.
- Harvesting is carried out in stages, since the berries are kept not at the same time. Fulfilled fruits are chosen to obtain sowing material.
- The guise is a thermal-loving plant and it needs to be stolen for the winter. The shoots are binding to twine and are covered with agrofiber. Roots are covered with fallen foliage. If winter in the snowy region, it is better to cover the roar of snow mountain.
Gumi Berry Shrub - Diseases and Pest
Loch is well opposed to diseases and pests, so rarely sick. This feature greatly simplifies care for it, because it is not necessary to spray a tree several times in the season or spend the forces on the treatment of all diseases. Such diseases may extremely rarely appear:
- Punchy spottedness - the disease is determined by the formation of an ulcers on the branches, of which the gum becomes. Leaves and inflorescences dry out if the shrub is fruit - berries. Treatment involves pruning all damaged shoots and treating bordeaux liquid.
- Kokkkomikosis - the village first turns yellow, and then foliages falling. Save the guise helps the treatment of bordeaux liquid. All the affected leaves are necessarily burned so that the disease does not spread to other cultures.
- The fruit rot - the bacteria amaze the fruit of the Gumi. They should be removed so that the entire harvest is damaged.
- From pests can hit the hums of the TLL, some types of caterpillars, as well as Tolstonopian.
Having put in the Gum in the garden, you will get a beautiful decoration, healthy fruits and excellent honeycomb in one culture that does not require painstaking care.
