Mespilus - widespread bush on seasonal dachas. It is not surprising, not only fruits, but also flowers, leaves and even bark of this plant are valuable medicinal raw materials. The mespilus is undemanding to conditions of growth and is very decorative, decorate with it lawns, squares and gardens in the form of green hedges in many corners of the globe.
The mespilus represents small tree or bush up to three high and more meters. Its fruits - berries of rounded shape about 1-2 cm in the diameter, bluish-black or violet-red, ripen they at the end of July - the beginning of August. The mespilus is not afraid even of hard frosts to - 50 degrees, well transfer spring frosts. It is unpretentious to acidity of the soil, but does not love the boggy or too humidified sites.
It is the best of all to place mespilus from the windward side, so its bushes can detain snow and protect thus other fruit crops. The mespilus loves solar places where it most actively fructifies. This self-fertile plant which does not demand replanting of grades pollinators.
The mespilus is put in the fall or in the spring in landing holes of 60x70 cm in size, depth about half a meter, previously bringing humus bucket, on 30 g of superphosphate, 20 g of potash salt and up to 1 kg of ashes. Bushes water at the rate of 1-2 buckets of water on plant. The next plants have not less, than in 3 meters from each other.
Before landing the trunk of sapling is cut off on third for creation of strong bush with evenly located side branches. It is necessary because the mespilus begins to fructify for 3-4 year. In the second half of summer long branches which can expand in huge dense bush therefore superfluous of them it is necessary to reject and prishchipyvat are formed. In radical zone completely cut out young growth if only do not set as the purpose to receive planting stock.
To strengthen growth of plant, the next year after landing he is fed up ammonium nitrate - 50 g on bucket of water or solution of bird's dung, bringing it in circular grooves. In the fall at digging up of the soil bring 100 g of superphosphate and potash salt - 50 g on bush.
The mespilus is very sympathetic on waterings and fertilizers therefore it is desirable to carry out annually in June fertilizing of plant by liquid infusion of mullein. Potash and phosphatic fertilizers in the dosage recommended on packing and humus which is brought approximately on 3 buckets under bush will be useful to adult plants.
Make multiple copies mespilus division of bush, shanks and seeds and also root escapes. Saplings grow up in the normal way, watering plants and weeding weeds.
