Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

This variety is self-fertile, so you will need the help of pollinators to get the harvest. To achieve the desired result, other varieties of honeysuckle are planted next to fruit bushes. When choosing pollinating plants, it is imperative to take into account their flowering time, since they must fall out at the same time.

It is advisable to plant the following species next to the Pavlovskaya variety: Blue Bird, Tomichka, Blue Spindle. The correct choice of pollinators significantly affects the taste of the berries.

Growing and caring

Edible honeysuckle is very fond of moisture, so you need to carefully monitor that the soil on the land plot does not dry out. Excessive irrigation should also not be allowed, otherwise the active reproduction of fungus, mold and various infections will begin. On the territory prepared for planting seedlings, groundwater should not lie close.

After each irrigation procedure, it is advisable to loosen the upper layers of the soil. Do not deepen the garden tool by more than 3-5 centimeters. And also the land is mulched so that you do not have to water the bushes too often. This will be especially useful during the hot season.

Cold and hard water is not suitable for watering. It can cause severe damage to plants. It is advisable to settle the liquid for 4-5 hours. It is recommended to store water in a wide and capacious container. Rainwater or melt water is ideal.

Shrubs are able to bear fruit regularly even without the use of regular fertilizing, however, periodic fertilization will only improve the health of the plants and their yield. Gardeners use minerals and organics. You can buy everything you need at any gardening store.

And the following options are also suitable: compost, peat, manure or humus. These are budget and effective feeding. Fresh manure should not be introduced into the soil, as it can damage the roots of plants leaving burns on them.

Pruning is essential for many horticultural crops, especially honeysuckle. This procedure is carried out regularly during the first eight years of the shrub's life. Sanitary pruning is necessary to get rid of damaged branches. At 8-9 years of life, traditional pruning stops and only as necessary, the crown is freed from old shoots.

In adulthood, when the age of honeysuckle reaches 20-25 years, the skeletal and main branches need to be cut. This will quickly renew the shrubbery. A year after the procedure, the yield will noticeably improve. After renewal, the shrubs will delight you with a tasty harvest for 7-9 years, depending on the care.

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.

Disease and pest resistance

The variety called Pavlovskaya boasts a high resistance to harmful insects and diseases. Despite strong immunity, shrubs can get sick due to insufficient care. Fruit shrubs can be attacked by root rot or infectious fungal diseases.

It is advisable to process the plants even before they get sick. Prevention will not be superfluous. To cope with the problem is possible only with the help of special medications. Alternative recipes can also give a positive result.

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

If the Pavlovskaya variety was planted within the southern latitudes, then it is not necessary to cover it for the winter. He will calmly endure cold snaps and frosts due to innate stability.

When grown in harsher conditions, shrubs should be protected. The shoots must be carefully twisted and fixed with wire. Covering material or a fine mesh is laid on top of them. This will protect shrubs not only from low temperatures, but also from rodents and birds.

It is undesirable to cover the honeysuckle too tightly.The accumulated steam will cause rotting of the shoots.
