Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The culture is considered self-fertile; cross-pollination is necessary for the crop to ripen. For this, such varieties of honeysuckle as Sineglazka, Amphora, Blue Spindle, Sorceress are ideal.

Growing and care

The choice of a territory for planting a culture is considered one of the most important moments in the cultivation of Bazhovskaya honeysuckle, because in one place the bush will grow for at least 20-25 years. Therefore, it is better if it is a sun-drenched corner in the garden, where there are no gusts of wind. The presence of partial shade is undesirable, this reduces the yield.

It is impossible to locate Bazhovskaya where groundwater runs closer than a meter to the earth's surface. The culture has no special requirements for soil.It just shouldn't be sandy or swampy. If the soil is acidic on the site, then the land can be limed 1 month before planting.

The optimal distance between honeysuckle bushes in one row will be 1.5–2 m, and the row spacing - 2–2.5 m. Bushes must not be allowed to close, as this will lead to thickening of the plants and, accordingly, to a decrease in yield.

The right time for planting Bazhovskaya honeysuckle is spring, after the snow has melted, during the period of bud swelling. If the moment is missed, the planting is postponed to the autumn period, usually to the last 10 days of September, so that the seedlings have time to take root before the first frost.

You can plant honeysuckle in open ground in spring, summer and autumn. Best of all, honeysuckle grows in an illuminated low-lying swampy place, while the site must be reliably protected from the wind. It is desirable that the soil is loamy or sandy loam. If the soil is poor, then it will first need to be fertilized.
In order for honeysuckle to bloom and bear fruit well, it needs to be properly cared for. One of the main procedures that affects the appearance and yield of this plant is shoot pruning. Without timely care, bushes prone to thickening rapidly turn into wild thickets with diseased and stunted plants, the number of young shoots decreases, the quantity and quality of berries decreases.
Timely control of diseases and pests of honeysuckle allows you to grow a healthy crop, used both for decorative purposes and for harvesting fragrant berries. When growing honeysuckle, it is necessary to know the main diseases of the crop, common pests, as well as effective measures to combat them.

Winter hardiness and the need for shelter

The culture is very winter-hardy, capable of bearing fruit even after winter, when the frosts were down to -47 ° C. Cases have been recorded when, after lower temperature indicators, individual specimens of the described honeysuckle retained the ability to bear fruit. In addition, Bazhovskaya is also drought tolerant.

In order to increase the amount of honeysuckle in your area, it is not necessary to purchase planting material, it is quite possible to multiply the varieties you like yourself. There are several ways to breed honeysuckle: cuttings, layering, root shoots, dividing the bush, and also sowing seeds.
