Other names of this species - Kalina felt, Mediterranean. In Latin, it sounds like this - Viburnum Lantana. The range of distribution of this type of viburnum in natural conditions - Europe (central and southern part), Ukraine, the Caucasus (mostly northern part), Africa (Morocco, Algeria). Asia Minor.

Most often grows as a shrub, less often as a tree. The height of Kalina Gordovina can be from two to six meters. Diameter of thick crown in adult plants from two and a half to three meters. The bark is gray, from the three-year-old age begins to crack. The color of young twigs and kidneys are grayish, they have a hoarse down. Length of leaves from five to eighteen centimeters. Their form is inversely, egg-shaped or elliptical. Usually, the sheet has a pointed top and the rounded base, weak cloves are noticeable along the edge, the hills of the mesh are noticeable. The top side of the leaf is dark green, rough. On the bottom side there is a felt omission (at the expense of star hairs). Touching the bottom side of the sheet, there is a feeling that touched to gentle felt, so this Kalina was called felt. Closer to the beginning of the fall, the leaves begin to change painting with green on pink or red. In May (or June) at the ends of young twigs, inflorescences are formed in the form of dense "shields" or "umbrellas", consisting only of fruit-forming flowers. The diameter of such inflorescences can reach ten centimeters. The bell colts can cream-white coloring. Long stamens with yellowish anthers appear from the flower. Flowers on Gordovina can be observed for about a month. In the fall, the shrub is decorated with many fruits of fire, the shape of which is almost round or elongated-oval. First, their color is green, they ripen it unevenly, so on the shrub at the same time there are pink, bright red and shiny black berries, the size of which can be compared with blueberries. Red fruits are still misappropriate, their taste astringent, tart, with mustard, reminds the taste of fruit of red viburnum. At ripened berries, the color is black, they are watery, juicy structures, sweetish-unplaced taste. After ripening the acid, bitterness and the tartness of them goes away. When rushing the fruits of Gordovna neither lips nor the tongue are dirty. After the ripening of the fruits of their brush is cut off with scissors or a secateur. If not all the fruits are ripe, they are ripened in a basket or a bucket in two or four days. An adult bush whose age is 15 years old, gives approximately a big bucket of berries. Part of the berries can be eaten in the fresh form, and the rest to put on juice, jelly, desserts. Even if we leave part of the berry on Gordovin, then the birds will be fired.

Let's call two very colorful varieties of this plant:

After July 15, the berries are painted in red, and closer to the fall they all acquire black painting.

Characteristic Kalina Gordovina

Let us list the main advantages of this interesting culture:

beautiful leaves, inflorescences and fruits give it high decorativeness;
calmly transfers the ridden, smokey urban air and dust;
very winter hardy;
drought resistant;
shadower;
not damaged by municipal sheets, rarely amazed by diseases;
per year gives an increase in width and a height of about 30 centimeters;
bush lifetime for about 60 years;
it is distinguished by the abundance of root row around him;
in the humoring horizon, the roots are able to form a solid turf, so recommended for sites that are subject to soil erosion, as well as for fixing various slopes and ravines

How to propagate Kalina felt?

For these purposes, you can use seeds, grain (arcs and horizontal), green cuttings, vaccinations. Seeds can be sent to Earth under the winter (at the end of October), or heated at the very beginning of spring, having conducted a seven-step stratification (maintaining in the refrigerator). Then germination will begin in August with the formation of the root, and sleeping kidney will start opening only in the spring of next year, then you will see sprout from the ground. There is an opinion that you can speed up germination by resorting to the next tactic:

first, 3 months hold the seeds indoors with a temperature of 18 ° C;
after moving seeds for 3 months in such a place where the temperature is from -3 to + 5 ° C.

Close to the soil seeds are needed to the depth of three centimeters.

Green cuttings for breeding should be cut in the last numbers of June or in the first decade of July. A third of the leaflets on these cuttings remove and hold down the sections for some time in the water, which is added to the formation of the formation of roots, for example, "corneser" or IMC. Then the cuttings enter into the light soil in the guy or a bed, cover with a plastic bottle cap. At the time of the cap remove to moisten the soil and conduct an air. Usually, by autumn, most of these cuttings is successfully rooted.

How to reproduce with gag? In the spring, hurt several stroke shoots to the surface of the Earth and neatly put in the grooves, the depth of which is 10 centimeters. Then they are picked up and fall asleep with soil. In the fall, these shoots will give a good root system, and they can be transplanted, or postpone the transplant to spring.

Landing Kalina Gordovina

But those specimens of Gordovina, which will be with bird leaves, be sure to land on the places open for sunlight, only then intensively painted leaf plates will grow on the bush. This type of viburnum is planted in spring or in the first half of autumn.

The landing jam is digging, given the size of the root system. It is usually 50 to 50 centimeters. Fill it better with the following mixture:

ferry land (two parts);
sand river (one part);
peat (also one part).

It is desirable to add humus (in the amount of 10 kilograms), ash (400 grams) to the dug-in landing pit. You can make phosphoric, potash fertilizers and nitrogen.

The root seedlock is placed on a hillyman in the landing hole, we are painted, and then fall asleep with the prepared substrate so that after the soil sediment and the ramming the root neck remains at the level of the ground surface. It is permissible if the root neck turned out to be 3 centimeters lowering the surface of the soil. Now it will remain well moisten the place near the seedling and to carry out a peat mulch, its layer should be from 5 to 10 centimeters.

Recommendations for the care of foil viburnum

Young plants need frequent and abundant watering so that they quickly fit and go to growth. Then the bush can be watered once or twice a week. It is noted that shrubs with fiber leaves look more elegant if the soil layer is dry under them, not overcooked. But if summer is very roast and without precipitation, then with a lack of moisture in the ground, the leaves are burning. That is, the edges are twisted on them and dried out, and the middle remains unchanged. When the heat falls, the bush is quickly restored. We will list a few more events, positively affecting the appearance of the shrub of Gordovina:

Periodic loosening of the soil around the bush and weeding.

If you want to form a bush, then pinch those branches, which reached the length of 30 centimeters. It will contribute to the formation of shoots. The crown can be made oval or spherical, cutting all the sprigs sticking out of the contour.
If you want to form a tree, then leave one strong escape at an altitude of 150-200 centimeters, and all shoots and pigs that are below - delete.
Spring under the bush should be made of nitrogen (for example, ammonium nitrates of 40 grams), superphosphate (30 grams) and potassium compounds (25 grams).
In the autumn, only superphosphate (40 grams) and potassium compounds (15 grams) should be added.

To spoil the beautiful view of Valina Gordovina can:

colonies of Kalinov Tly;
comma shield;
cossal mole fruit.

Of the folk remedies for the fight against pests in the course of the infusions prepared from:

onion husk;
yarrow herbs;

shots and arrows of garlic;
pods of the pepper of Zhugugi.

It is possible to carry out the processing "BitonSibacillin" (this is biocheriness) or insecticides ("Inta-Vir" (cypermethrine), "carbofos", "chlorofos"). Processings are desirable to make three, it is necessary to have time before the start of flowering plants.

Adult Gordovina is not afraid of frost and wonderful winter without shelters. Small seedlings in the first years in November need to be covered with dry leaves, and in the winter snow drifts in winter.

Kalina Gordovina is beautiful both in the days of flowering, and in the fall, when on it on the background of pink-red foliage hanging brushes of black berries. The winning looks like one bush, and the tidy "live" elevation, which includes the bushes of Gordovina.
