Mulberry

The lip of the lip is not a fool. So will say anyone who tastes mulberry honey berries. And it grows mainly in the south, although in the middle lane it is found. But so that the thermo-loving tree grew and fruit in the Pskov region, you need to try great.
Horticulture I have been doing more than ten years. In many magazines, he read about the successful cultivation of mulberry in the Moscow region and other regions. I live north, in the great bows, but I decided to try yet. In the spring of 2006, acquired a seedling of white mulberry by mail. He learned that he was reproduced with stalling. Apparently, so immediately in this year and bloomed. The fruits were white with a pink shade, medium size, honey taste. I left a few berries on seeds. It turned out that they do not require stratification, they are enough just to wash away from the pulp and sow.
I did it in the late autumn on a small garden. In the spring, the first shoots appeared. All summer, the seedlings irrigated and fed to the infusion of cow's manure. By the fall, they grew up to 25 cm. The winter was moved perfectly without shelter. So I mastered the seed method of breeding.
But mulberry can also be brewed with cuttings. In the same year, decided to continue his reproduction experiments. Cut several green cuttings from a fruiting bush, treated sections with a stimulant of root education and landed into a special greenhouse for rooting. The cuttings watered twice a day - in the morning and evening. During the day sprayed and ventilated the greenhouse. One month after landing, I realized that the kids got roots. They went into growth and by autumn were a height of about 30 cm. Winter shelter, as well as for seed seedlings, did not do. Not a single tree died, and the next year some fragmented seedlings bloomed.
As for the care, the silky is not too demanding. The most important thing is a loose loamy soil, good watering and three times for the season feeding orient.
In short, grow a mulberry! All your troubles and care for it will be rewarded. Berries are not only delicious, but also very useful. I love to make juice. It normalizes the pressure and cleans blood. I also catch a silk jam. Hot tea helps with him with a cold. It is believed that in his healing action he surpasses even Malina. And I learned that the mulberry berries contribute to weight loss.
