Many would like to have a plant such as viburnum on their site, as it has many useful and medicinal qualities.
A variety of this shrub is Buldenezh, which not only has all the qualities of an ordinary viburnum, but also amazes everyone with its decorative properties.
The medicinal qualities of viburnum have long been used in folk medicine, since it has a wide range of useful substances.
It normalizes blood pressure, cleanses blood vessels, treats gastritis and stomach ulcers, helps well with colds, and also supports the body's immune system.
But the kind of viburnum Buldenezh gives almost no berries, and therefore seeds, so the plant is famous only for its decorative beauty.
You can, of course, take into account the fact that the bark and color of the plant are also raw materials for the manufacture of medicinal infusions and are used in cosmetology.
Tinctures-tonics on the flowers of Buldenezh, rejuvenate, cleanse and tone the skin.
The shrub blooms in spring, around May, flowering is quite long and is 25-30 days.
The newly opened buds have a delicate white-greenish color, then the flowers in large balls-inflorescences become white with a creamy tint.
It is a fairly fast growing plant. The height of the viburnum Buldenezh reaches 3-4 meters. It has a spreading crown, gives a wonderful shade in the summer heat.
In autumn, the leaves of the shrub turn purple-green and also decorate the site, standing out among the yellow foliage.
Buldenezh tolerates winter frosts well, is unpretentious to soil and top dressing, so caring for it will not be difficult.
The only thing that Buldenezh loves is water, if you plant a plant in a place where the soil is saturated with moisture, the plant will respond with violent flowering in spring, and in summer it will shelter you from the hot sun.
If you decide to grow Kalina Buldenezh in your garden, you need to know the basic rules for planting and caring for the plant.
This shrub is propagated only by dividing the bush, cuttings or layering.
Buldenezh does not give seeds, as it is a sterile species of common viburnum.
Creation favorable conditions for seedlings will enable the plant to take root well and delight you every spring with abundant flowering.
For him, you need to find a suitable place in the garden and prepare the soil for planting. It is also important at what time the bush will be planted.
Planting viburnum Buldenezh is carried out in early spring or in late autumn, just before the frost.
The breeding method of viburnum Buldenezh will depend on which method of planting you have chosen.
It is very easy to plant a shrub by dividing the root. If you already have this plant on the site, you need to find a suitable lateral process of the young growth and carefully separate it from the mother bush - that's it, the seedling material is ready.
Planting a shrub by layering will also not be difficult. To do this, you just need to bend the lower extreme branch to the ground and pin it down with a wire bracket.
From above, the layer is sprinkled with earth and kept moist until it takes root and shoot. Then it is separated from the large bush - and it can be transplanted to a separate place.
Planting a shrub with a cut is a little more difficult, since it takes more time for it to root.
A branch of a young shoot with seven to nine buds is cut off and planted in fertile soil in a greenhouse, watering should be moderate, the temperature should be kept high.
The stalk should be in such conditions until next spring. Then it is planted in open ground.
When the time for landing is chosen, you need to move on to choosing a place.
Buldenezh loves moist soils, so it grows better near water bodies and in low-lying areas where moisture is better retained.
If you do not have such a territory on your site, then you will have to artificially maintain the soil in a moist state. Perhaps this is the most important condition for choosing a landing site.
The rest of the plant is unpretentious to the ground, it finds everything it needs for its growth in any of them.
The shrub tolerates heat well under the condition of root watering
It is not afraid of the winds, but it must be tied up, as it has fragile wood, and the wind can easily break it.
Buldenezh is planted with a single bush or group of plants. It creates a beautiful shadow, so it is good to define it in garden bench or gazebos.
When the planting site is determined, you need to carefully prepare a pit for seedlings, since a good laying of fertilizers will be the key to a healthy and rapid growth plants.
For a single bush, a pit is prepared with a size of about 60 × 60 × 80 cm.
Then the pit must be shed with a large amount of water, especially if the landing site is chosen on a flat or elevated area.
Almost the entire space of the pit must be filled with a nutrient mixture of potash-phosphorus fertilizers, peat, humus, old leaves, ash and garden soil, and the pit must be shed again with water.
These pit preparation activities will help the plant to take a good start in growth, and for many years to grow at a rapid pace, blooming with juicy flowers. Next, you should only plant the plant correctly.
In the planting pit, a deepening is made in the nutrient mixture and the plant is planted there, be sure to deepen the root neck by 4-5 cm.
Although Buldenezh is unpretentious, he still needs minimal care, like any living plant, especially if you want the flowers to bloom larger in the spring and the bush gains growth well.
Plant care activities include, of course, watering, infrequent feeding until the bulldozer rises and becomes an adult, pruning dry and old branches.
As mentioned above, Buldenezh is a very moisture-loving plant, so you need to water it as often as possible, as moisture leaves the ground, especially on dry summer days.
If watering meets the needs of the shrub, the flowers on the branches will be large and juicy.
You can start feeding Buldenezh in the second or third year after planting, since you have well prepared the hole for the plant and put enough nutrients in it - they should be enough to adapt and start healthy growth for two to three years.
The first feeding is done in the spring, when the first leaves begin to appear, it should be using nitrogen fertilizers.
The second top dressing is done in the fall, before leaf fall, this time potash-phosphorus fertilizers are used.
You can fertilize with top dressings diluted in water, or dry granules, scattering them under the bushes and loosening the ground with glanders, then spilling abundantly with water.
The proportions should be when diluted in water: 25-35 grams per bucket.
Cleaning Buldenezh needs to be carried out annually, then the branches will be well renewed and bloom more rapidly.
Pruning viburnum Buldenezh can be carried out in early spring, before the start of sap flow, or in late autumn, after the foliage has fallen. Young plants planted a year or two ago do not need to be cleaned.
The bush has its enemies - these are pests, and if you do not start a fight with them in time, the bush may die.
Viburnum leaf beetle - eats away the pulp of leaves, leaving only a skeleton of veins from them.
The leaf beetle lays its eggs under the bark in the spring or early summer. When hatching, the larvae begin their work to destroy the plant.
You can cure the plant with aqueous solution, infused with hot pepper, wormwood, garlic or other aromatic herbs or spices, with the addition of laundry soap, about 50 grams per ten liters.
The bushes are sprayed in the evening when the heat of the day subsides.
If the flowers of Buldenezh do not open, it means that the viburnum gall midge, barberry moth or lilac hawk is raiding the bush
Viburnum black aphid settles on the leaves of the bush and destroys them. Leaves lose their shape, curl up and fall off.
Treatment of Buldenezh is carried out with the above-described solution or special preparations for pests, which are sold in flower shops.
Of the diseases, Buldenezh viburnum is often plagued by such as powdery mildew or rust.
Powdery mildew is a white coating on the leaves of a plant. You can fight this scourge with a solution of foundationol with water, the proportion of the solution is 20-25 grams per 10 liters. Spraying is carried out once.
A yellow-orange bloom on the leaves indicates that rust has visited the shrub. Spraying with Bordeaux liquid will help if the disease is not started.
If you are late and the whole bush is infected, you will have to get rid of it so as not to infect other plants.
When the shrub blooms for the first time, you will receive full satisfaction from the effort.
Your garden collection will be replenished with one more wonderful ornamental plant- Viburnum Buldenezh - which will delight you every spring with snow-white flowering.
At the same time, many summer residents dream of planting viburnum on their site. However, those who have not come across this plant do not know how it can be propagated? When should you trim? How to care?
Let's talk about this in more detail.
Kalina Buldenezh belongs to the category of flowering bushes from the honeysuckle family. This type of viburnum is considered an ornamental plant, which is used when decorating flower beds by land owners. It can be shaped both as a bush and as a small tree.
Reproduction of Kalina Buldenezh can be carried out by such options as:
Let's consider each type of breeding separately.
Reproduction of this variety of viburnum has several key nuances. They are planted seeds after 7 months of stratification begin to germinate not earlier than August: Initially, the root and the so-called hypocotal knee begin to grow, while the rudimentary bud itself remains dormant.
Just on next year the manifestations of the cotyledons begin with a vein. For this reason, it must be remembered that in winter period the first year after sowing the seeds, this piece of land must be covered with leaves or peat, thereby preventing the soil where the seeds are from freezing.
In order to accelerate the germination of seeds as much as possible, stratification is performed in several stages, namely:
If we talk about the period itself, then in warm conditions the seeds are kept no more than 3 months, with a slight minus - no more than 4 months.
When planting seeds, it is necessary to remember that the sowing rate is considered to be in the range of 8-12 grams, while the germination percentage is up to 88%.
In the event that the seeds are planted in the fall, the seeds germinate only after a year - not earlier. In the first few years, growth is slow, this must be taken into account and do not expect that the viburnum will grow in the first year.
Kalina Buldenezh begins to please the eye only after 4 years, when it comes to seed reproduction.
CuttingsThis method can be used at a time when the plant is directly pruned in the summer season. For the breeding process itself, you can use exclusively young shoots, which have few buds.
The process itself is as follows:
Landing in the ground is as follows:
When propagated in this way, the first shoots can be obtained already next year.
This type of reproduction is very simple and does not require any effort. The propagation algorithm for this option is as follows:
Now you all know how to propagate this type of plant.
The very landing of Kalina Buldenezh is as follows:
By itself, the viburnum Buldenezh is not a whimsical plant, however, it requires a little care.
Adult viburnum requires regular watering and fertilizing. If we are talking about a growing plant, it is imperative that regular pruning from obsolete or withered branches is required.
It must be remembered that it is not recommended to prune the plant in the first few years, so as not to cause harm.
As you can see, planting and caring for Buldenezh viburnum does not require any skills and abilities and is quite feasible even for a beginner.
Plant pruning should be done only in summer. It is necessary to pay attention to the middle of the plant, since it is in this area that young growth is formed, on which the plant spends most your energy. 
In order to later be able to get a multi-stem bush, the viburnum is cut to the very stump.
The process of circumcision itself is carried out from June to August, when the “snowy inflorescences-balls” have already fallen off. 
Buldenezh. Such a beautiful name for the viburnum, which translates as "snowball", belongs to a Frenchman. Europe got acquainted with this shrub more than four centuries ago. Bulldog appeared in Russia under Catherine II. "Snowball", or "snowfield", at that time was grown at the palace, in the gardens and parks of the estates of wealthy landowners. In the 18th century, gardens were known in which only buldenezh grew. Gardeners, masters of their craft, surprised Europe with the beauty of the Snow Globe standard forms.
Snowballs of bulldoze inflorescences
Buldenezh is decorative form viburnum ordinary. The height of the spreading shrub is from 2 to 3.5 meters. I saw bushes that were slightly higher. In late spring - early summer, snow-white balls of inflorescences appear on the bush. Their diameter is 7 - 15 cm. The inflorescences consist of sterile flowers that have no odor. As the bush matures, the inflorescences become larger: behind them, even the leaves are not visible. These balls stay on the bush for 20 to 30 days.
A place. It is best to grow Kalina Buldenezh in light partial shade. In a sunny place, flowering will be shorter. In the shade - very weak, with small loose inflorescences. And the pests will torture you there. It happens that the place seems to be suitable, and the soil meets all standards, and the shrub does not want to grow or bloom in any way. In this case, you urgently need to look for another place for Kalina. It must be remembered that the bulldozer is planted for several decades, so the choice of a place is a responsible matter. Some shrubs continue to bloom even at the age of 60.
The soil. Kalina Buldenezh grows well on loose, nutritious, moderately moist soil. It is very important to prepare a good planting hole for it, at least 50 cm x 60 cm in size. Fill it with a soil mixture with a large supply of nutrients. For example, mix several buckets of compost, peat and sand. Wood ash (at least 3 glasses) and nitrophoska or fertilizer granules (amount according to the instructions) are added to them. This is very important for successful bulldozing. Heavy clay soil needs to be cultivated by adding humus, peat and sand to it.
Winter hardiness. The snow globe is a fairly winter-hardy crop that does not need to be covered for the winter. However, in the first years of life, it is advisable to insure yourself and at the end of autumn to insulate the roots with humus. This simple work will not only protect them from freezing in severe winters with little snow, but also feed the plant. If sowed under a bush bush lawn grass or keep the existing lawn when planting, then the dense turf will become reliable protection in any weather. In winters that are too frosty and with little snow, the bulldozer can freeze a little. But it quickly overgrows with absolutely healthy shoots.
Watering. The snow globe is watered frequently and abundantly. It's a viburnum. Every autumn, before the onset of cold weather, it is important to shed the soil well under the bush, which prevents tissue dehydration in winter, protecting the plant from freezing.
Top dressing. Good feeding is good for the shrub. This can be wood ash or a solution of complex fertilizers. Loves viburnum and well-rotted organic matter. Especially in the spring. In the summer, you can sometimes use an infusion of grass diluted with water, which has managed to ferment, to feed the bulldozer. From mid-August, all feeding is stopped.
Pests. Viburnum is a delicacy for aphids and leaf beetles. I have never seen such fat and fat aphids on any other plants as on the Bulldog. Aphids appear early, at the very beginning of flowering. Worst of all, it populates not only the tops of young shoots, but also the balls of inflorescences. Ant paths with insects hurrying to "milk" the aphids are laid on the trunk and branches. Spraying with INTA-VIR or Spark solution (diluted according to the instructions) helps to cope with aphids. Two or three treatments with an interval of 10 days are enough for the aphid to disappear for a while. A decoction of tobacco also helps from aphids, to which you need to add about 40 g of green soap to a bucket of broth. An emergency method is a strong jet of water from a hose, which knocks down aphids that have clung to the shoots. The jet should be of such power as to wash the pest from the inflorescences, but not spoil the shape of the snow-white balls.
Another pest of viburnum buldenezh is the viburnum leaf beetle. Preventive measures save him from his presence on the bulldoze (and other viburnums). The best time for the destruction of wintering clutches of viburnum leaf beetle on the tops of shoots - late autumn and early spring. In spring, the strong crust allows you to stand on the drifts to see the upper tips of the branches. If the characteristic dark tubercles of the egg-laying are found, then it is imperative to cut and destroy these parts of the shoots. In the spring they are sprayed with "chemistry" (Fufanon, Karbofos, etc.)
Pruning. Buldenezh without pruning soon thickens, which affects the deterioration of its flowering. In the spring, before flowering, damaged and dried branches are cut off. No need to leave weak shoots growing in the center of the bush. They are doomed due to lack of light and food. But for aphids, this is a real paradise. After the end of flowering, the central part is thinned out and individual lateral shoots are shortened. it the right time in order to reduce the size of the bush. The plant tolerates such pruning painlessly. Since the end of August, the bush is not touched, they give it the opportunity to get stronger and prepare for winter.
Buldenezh - every year there are more and more inflorescences
Buldenezh flowers are sterile, only sterile flowers are collected in inflorescences. Therefore, there are no fruits with seeds. Possibly only vegetative propagation Snow globe by layering, cuttings (especially green) and dividing the bush.
Buldenezh is more often propagated by layering in late spring - early summer. The most guaranteed option is to fold back the flexible annual shoots and pin them into shallow (10 - 12 cm) grooves. Sprinkle on top with soil or well-decomposed compost and watered. You will have to moisten the soil regularly to keep it moist all the time. The rooted part of the shoot is separated from the bush with a secateurs. The seedling is left for some time next to the mother bush or transplanted into a school for growing. The first flowering occurs in two to three years.
Cuttings can be obtained during the summer pruning of the bush. More often shoots are used for cuttings. current year, on which two pairs of kidneys are left. The lower leaves are cut, and the upper ones are halved. The cutting is prepared according to all the rules: the upper cut should be straight, and the lower slanting. Heteroauxin or root root accelerates the process of root formation. Planting depth - about 2 cm. Cuttings will have time not only to take root over the summer, but even to give young shoots. Cuttings root well with last year's shoots... They are cut in June. If you create everything the necessary conditions(make a bed with loose soil, stretch plastic wrap on low arcs, shade and equalize the air temperature with lutrasil, regularly spray with warm water, etc.), then the cuttings will quickly become strong seedlings. Many amateur gardeners root cuttings under caps, into which they turn five-liter bottles from under drinking water if the bottom is cut off. Rooted cuttings are grown in a school.
When planting seedlings, the root collar is slightly (3 - 4 cm) deepened. First, the root system grows. At this time, it seems that the bulldozer sapling is growing slowly. But soon its shoots begin to noticeably increase in size. A bush at the age of 3-4 years may already be one and a half meters in height.
The lithe branches of the bulldoze bent under the weight of the snow
Buldenezh looks good at any time of the year. In winter, a fairly tall bush stands out in relief against the background of white snow. In early spring, snowdrops, crocuses, liverwort, marigold and other early flowering plants bloom under its branches.
In late May - early June, the finest hour of the Snow Globe begins. First, greenish-white inflorescences appear, soon they become dazzling white. It becomes clear why this decorative viburnum was called the Snow Globe. It seems that the whole bush is covered with snowballs. The foliage remains fresh all summer, and in autumn the bush with painted leaves looks no less picturesque.
The snow globe looks great as a separately growing bush (tapeworm). It is not spoiled by the neighborhood with other plants. Viburnum looks romantic next to water.
The bulldoze tree charms. In order to get it, only the most direct escape is left. It will become the basis of a stem with a height of 100 - 120 cm. It is better to give the crown a spherical shape. And correct it as needed.

Kalina Buldenezh is an amazing plant in terms of beauty. Magnificent snow-white balls, strewn all over the bush, can hardly leave anyone indifferent. If you are not yet growing a beautiful shrub, then it's time to plant one in your garden. Read on how to plant Buldenezh viburnum correctly in spring and autumn.
The charming name of viburnum has French roots - Boule de Neige translates as "snow globe". And this is exactly the case when the name fully characterizes the appearance. The plant is valued not only because of the flowers, but also because of the beautiful leaves. Due to its beauty and sophistication, the plant is often used in landscape design and in ordinary summer cottages.
The average height of the shrub is from two to three or three and a half meters. Flowers can grow up to fifteen centimeters in diameter. With proper cultivation, regular and systematic care, the shrub can live up to fifty years.
The flowering period of viburnum - from late spring to early summer, blooms most often within two to three weeks. Due to the abundance of large snow balls, the branches become heavier, so in some cases they need to be propped up so that they do not break.
An interesting feature of the plant is that the flowers are odorless.
Planting and replanting Kalina Buldenezh can be either next to other crops or in splendid isolation. In both the first and second versions, it will look interesting.
Video: plant description
For those who already grow a plant on their site, but want to increase the number of shrubs, it is important to know the methods of reproduction. One of the features this plant is that the flowers of the decorative viburnum are sterile, therefore only vegetative reproduction is possible.
It can be propagated in three ways:
Propagation of viburnum Buldenezh by dividing the bush should be as careful as possible so as not to injure the root system. To plant Buldenezh, it is necessary to partially dig out the roots and delicately separate the young daughter shoot from the mother bush. This must be done so that both the first and the second part of the shrub normally hold the branches and roots.
The sprinkling method is very simple and in a convenient way. Optimal timing the event is held in late spring-early summer.
Reproduction by layering takes place according to the following scheme:
Video: reproduction by layering (for example, the usual viburnum)
Propagation by cuttings is considered a longer and more painstaking task. Despite the fact that the formation of roots takes a long time, and the process of survival sometimes ends in failure, this method is practiced. Performed during the summer when pruning. Suitable breeding material is young shoots with a pair of live, healthy buds.
The event is carried out according to the following algorithm:
Any summer cottage event requires responsibility and correctness of actions. Planting this shrub is no exception. At the same time, having spent quite a bit of effort on rooting a shrub seedling, in the future you will receive an amazing and original plant with excellent flowering. The photo below proves that decorative viburnum can turn any site into a fabulous place:
Many novice flower growers think about when it is right to plant Buldenezh viburnum - in spring or autumn? The timing of the event depends on the breeding method. If you plan to plant by dividing the bush, then it is better to plant in the fall, but if by layering, then it is better to do it in the spring. Moreover, in the fall, the event should be performed before severe cold weather and rains, otherwise there is a risk that the plant will not take root.
Choosing the right location plays an important role in successful rooting and growing. Therefore, when choosing where to plant Buldenezh viburnum, it should be remembered that direct rays can be destructive, and in a strong shade, the plant is unlikely to please you with beautiful flowering. Such a viburnum grows well in an area with partial shade.
The soil should be loose, moist, fertile, with good drainage properties. Kalina Buldenezh loves moisture, so places near water bodies, in lowlands, are suitable for her. But stagnation of moisture is also undesirable. You can choose dry places, but then watering should be done often and generously.
Before planting, you need to dig a planting hole. Its depth should be at least sixty centimeters, and its diameter should be about 60-70 centimeters.
If rooting is planned on heavy soil, then a drainage layer should be laid on the bottom of the pit, which will avoid stagnant moisture. To do this, add rubble and sand there.
Planting viburnum Buldenezh is carried out according to the following scheme:
The snow-white bush is unpretentious plant... But despite this fact, it still follows after planting in open ground and subsequently does not bypass the shrub with timely and high-quality care. It is necessary to regularly water, fertilize, cut, treat against pests and diseases. Compliance with the basic elements of care will help to successfully grow Kalina Buldenezh. Let's consider in more detail how to properly care for an ornamental shrub:
As mentioned earlier, the ornamental shrub is hygrophilous. It is important to irrigate on time and systematically. Young specimens especially need this. In summer and dry heat, the importance of watering increases many times over.
And generous watering in the fall before the arrival of cold weather will help the plant to overwinter normally and to withstand bad weather. Also, before the cold weather, it is important to cover the trunks with humus. If the cold attacked the plant, then with proper care it can quickly recover.
Experienced growers advise to shorten the shoots of the plant by 1/3 when planting. In the spring, before flowering, all frozen, damaged, dry and weak shoots should be eliminated. But after flowering, it is necessary to thin out the center of the crown and reduce the side shoots. An adult plant should have no more than eight skeletal branches. At the end of the summer season, pruning is not carried out, as the plant must gain strength before the winter period.
Pruning viburnum Buldenezh is an essential element of caring for ornamental shrubs. The procedure is important to maintain a beautiful shape and to prevent the reproduction of pests (strong thickening can provoke this).
Top dressing allows you to achieve a luxurious and beautiful flowering. It is held in the second year after planting. In the spring, you can feed the decorative viburnum with minerals, organic fertilizers(for example, humus, ash, rotted compost). In the fall, you can apply potassium-phosphorus fertilizing.
Ornamental viburnum Buldenezh can overtake a variety of diseases and pests. To prevent the harmful influence of unwanted "guests" of the garden, you should properly care for the shrub.
The following plant pests are distinguished:
As for the diseases of the viburnum Buldenezh, the plant can be affected by powdery mildew. To prevent the disease, the shrub should be treated with infusion of onions, garlic, ash, tobacco.
Situations are also possible when Buldenezh viburnum does not bloom. Why it happens? There may be several reasons for the lack of flowering:
As you can see, viburnum may not bloom due to improper or inadequate care. If you correct this situation, then it will certainly delight you with a magnificent color.
Kalina Buldenezh - a place of a spherical miracle in landscape design
Kalina Buldenezh translated from French - Snow Globe. A lush, white inflorescence 7-15 centimeters in diameter will decorate any yard. The balloons do not have a strong smell, but you can enjoy their appearance for up to 30 days.
Buldenezh - perennial plant, which is popular throughout Russia.
This shrub of the honeysuckle family is decorative, it does not give berries, therefore it has a second name - sterile viburnum. The plant grows from 3.5 meters and above.
It blooms from late May to the last days of June, and then pleases with its large, carved leaves. In autumn, the foliage takes on a crimson color.
Viburnum loves moist soil and partial shade, but the variety is drought-resistant.
When planting seedlings of viburnum Buldenezh, it must be borne in mind that in the open sun the flowers will dry faster, and in constant shade the plant will bloom later. Also, when growing, you need to pay attention to the soil, it must be fertile enough.
It is better to plant viburnum in the spring, it is not recommended to do this in the fall - unexpected frosts and heavy rain will destroy the young plant. You need to plant in dry warm weather.
The plant prefers to grow in moist, loose soil - in the lowland of the site, near water bodies. Viburnum has a spreading crown, so you need to grow it where it will not interfere.
The procedure for planting seedlings:
You need to take care of the viburnum Buldenezh by performing the following activities:
The soil should not be allowed to dry out, it should always be moist. In hot weather, you need to take special care of moisture - watering 1-2 times a week, 2-3 buckets.
After the end of flowering, the viburnum Buldenezh still needs watering, if it is limited, the plant will dehydrate and will not survive the winter period.
It is important to add mulch to the root soil. Dig up the ground around the bush once a year, renewing the layers of mulch.
A rounded bush can be achieved by cutting the plant twice a year - in spring and summer. Inflorescences grow only on the shoots of the second year of life. To enjoy flowers every summer, you need to take this feature into account when pruning branches.
The first flowers are cut, as they are initially small and frail. In subsequent years, you can prune the bush after flowering ends, forming a crown. Shoots should be cut at the base, strengthening the trunk.
For a multi-stemmed stem, no more than 4 shoots can be left.
In the spring, weak and diseased branches are pruned, dry ones are removed. In autumn, the bushes are not touched, they need strength to survive the cold.
Pinching the plant adjusts the desired height. It is necessary to pinch young shoots so that 4-5 buds remain, this will make the bush lush.
In order to have lush snow balls, it is necessary to apply the following fertilizers to the soil every spring:
Fertilizers need to be applied according to the instructions, too much fertilizing will have a bad effect on the flowering of the viburnum.
For the winter, the plants are mulched so that the roots do not freeze.
In the fall, it is necessary to prepare the plant for wintering:
Buldenezh is a plant that is not pollinated; in order to propagate it, they use vegetative methods.
Reproduction by layering
Reproduction by branches is done in the spring, before the viburnum actively begins to bloom. In this way, the plant can be restored by creating a new bush from the bend.
Procedure:
You can transplant a young shoot to a new place in 2-3 years, when it grows like a mother bush.
The clarity of the method is shown in the video from the "Khabarovsk Gardeners' Club".
Cuttings are best done in summer. At this time of year, the plant will not experience severe stress, as in the spring at the beginning of flowering. And the cuttings themselves will be more viable than the autumn ones.
Prepare the stalk like this:
A twig is planted in a greenhouse with fertilized soil to a depth of 2-5 centimeters. The soil should be moistened regularly. By the end of summer, a root system is formed, which means that the cutting is ready for transplantation into open ground.
Breeding by cuttings
Dividing the bush
The division procedure is simple:
Before planting, keep the shoot in a well-moistened and fertilized soil. Before planting, you need to spray it with anti-stress - epinon or zircon.
Viburnum flowers and its leaves are susceptible to some diseases, the plant can become infected from ornamental bushes in the neighborhood or from vegetable crops growing on the site:
In order to prevent diseases, spring and autumn processing of Buldenezh viburnum should be carried out.
The most common pests of viburnum are:
To spraying was not in vain, you need to do this only in dry, calm weather. In the midst of the heat, it is better not to do the processing. In addition, in order to avoid burns of the plant, prophylaxis should be carried out in the evening or early in the morning.
It is necessary to use preparations for the treatment of viburnum from diseases and pests in accordance with the instructions that come with them.

A gardener's dream - lush bloom with minimal maintenance. At the beginning of summer, the decorative bush of Kalina Buldenezh is completely covered with snow-white balls, because it is not for nothing that the French called it the "snow globe". The culture is unpretentious and with minimal effort creates a fabulous atmosphere in the garden.
Kalina Buldenezh is an ornamental shrub with a height of 1.5 to 3 meters. There are specimens that grow 1-2 meters higher than the specified one.
In late May and early summer, the shrub is covered with snow-white balls. Under their weight, branches sometimes fall to the ground. The older the bush, the more inflorescences it has.
Viburnum is capable of creating an amazing landscape in any garden. The decorative culture has no aroma.
The spreading but neat crown is 2-4 meters wide. The leaves on it are light green up to 12 cm in length. For a year, the culture grows by 30-40 cm, provided proper care... After 7 to a maximum of 10 years, the viburnum stops growing.
The variety has taken root in different regions of the country, it is frost-resistant. Beautiful shrub able to please the eye for up to 60 years in a row.
Viburnum Buldenezh has many varieties, here are some of them:
Buldenezh loves areas near water bodies, does not tolerate hills and hills. If there is no suitable place on the garden plot, then it is better to plant a bush next to a building or a fence so that there is a light partial shade. Direct sunlight negatively affects the abundance of flowers.
Culture needs soil that is loose, moist, with an acidity of 5.5-6.5. Heavy soil is diluted with sand. Lime is added to neutralize acidity. Any land for planting Buldenezh should be well fertilized with humus.
The breeding method determines the following planting dates:
Planting time is spring. You will need: viburnum seedlings Buldenezh in a container, a shovel, compost, mulch.
Procedure:
The Buldenezh bush loves moist soils. Young seedlings especially need watering. In dry summers, regardless of age, viburnum bushes require regular watering.
There should be no dry soil around the trunk. In rainy weather, the plant has enough natural moisture. The plant needs watering in the evening in hot summer, it is enough to do this twice a month.
So, flowering in spring will be lush and long.
To prevent dehydration of the viburnum bushes in winter, they must be watered abundantly in the fall until frost.
Buldenezh saplings are planted in abundantly fertilized soil, so it is more expedient to make the first top dressing next year.
V spring when the first leaves appear, it is necessary to support their development with nitrogen fertilizers. It is also useful to add organic matter - humus in the amount of 2 buckets. The second top dressing of the year falls in the fall.
For this, you can use both dry and liquid dressings. After such replenishment, in the spring the land under the bushes is shed well.
Crown pruning is carried out after flowering. Side branches are cut off, strongly protruding to the sides. Dry branches growing inside the bush are completely removed. When forming the crown, you can choose any shape - a ball, a triangle or a standard tree.
In autumn Buldenezh prepares for wintering and accumulates nutrients. During this period, it is undesirable to form a crown. You can only get rid of broken, diseased and dry branches.
Every year shrubs must be freed from frozen and wind-damaged shoots. The first time the crown is shaped is when the plant grows 1.5 meters in height.
To form a tree, you need to cut off all but one of the branches. Then, every summer, prune the young growth.
To obtain a multi-stemmed viburnum, a young plant is cut almost to the stump, leaving no more than 2 decimeters. This procedure stimulates the development of many side shoots. In the first season, pruning is done before flowering. In the future, it is worth waiting for the "snowballs" to fall and prune the bush from June to August.
Sometimes flowering is so abundant that the branches need additional support to maintain integrity.
The inflorescences of the viburnum Buldenezh are sterile, therefore no fruits and seeds are formed in them. Reproduction is possible only by a vegetative method.
Early summer - late spring is an excellent time for layering breeding. Most best method- bend the shoots of the one-year-old and dig them into the grooves, 10-12 cm deep. Next, you need to fill the planting with soil and rotted compost.
It is imperative to monitor the moisture content of the soil and periodically water it. The rooted cut is separated from the bush with a secateurs. For some time, the cuttings grow with the mother bush, and then it is transplanted to a permanent place.
The first flowers appear on such a bush in 2-3 years.
This method is similar to the previous one. The only difference is that the branch in the furrow is not completely covered with fertile soil, but the tip of the shoot remains above the ground. To speed up rooting, it is necessary to cut the bark into parts, the layering, which is covered with earth. With the onset of autumn, the seedling is dug up with an earthen clod and a permanent place of growth is chosen for it.
In the summer, the bush is pruned. It is then that you can pick up a good cutting. Ideal for planting a branch of the current year with two pairs of buds. At the same time, all the lower leaves are cut off, and the upper ones are thinned by half.
The stalk should look like this: the upper cut is straight, the lower cut is oblique. To accelerate root formation, you can use Kornevin or Heteroaxin. Cuttings are planted to a depth of 2-3 cm. During the summer they will have time not only to take root, but also to produce young shoots.
Cuttings from last year's shoots are cut in June, they are also able to root well.
For quick rooting of the cutting, you need to create the following conditions:
If everything is done correctly, then the seedlings will turn out to be strong and healthy. Many people use a five-liter plastic bottle without a bottom as a greenhouse.
The root collar of the resulting seedling is slightly deepened, by about 3-4 cm.
During root growth, it may seem that the viburnum seedling is not developing. You have to wait a little and it will be noticeable that the shoots have increased in size. At the age of 3 years, the bush will already grow up to 1.5 meters.
Shrub Kalina Gordovina grows up to 5 meters in height. The crown is dense with a diameter of 2.5-3 meters. Decorative leaves have an oval shape and wrinkled structure.
Flowering begins in June with creamy white shields, and ends after 20-26 days. In mid-late summer, the bush becomes even more decorative.
On viburnum, bright red fruits ripen, which turn into a rich burgundy hue and black.
This type of viburnum is widely used for landscaping parks and squares. The culture is unpretentious to the condition of the soil. Gordovina is hardy and tolerates drought periods well. In combination with linden or oak it forms a harmonious composition
It blooms in elegant large white umbrellas with a diameter of 10 cm. In autumn, the leaves of the bush acquire a carmine-red color. A bright and effective accent for any garden and personal plot... The bunches of fruits are edible and are shaped like a ball. It tastes like black currant.
The shrub tolerates winter well and is resistant to insect attacks. The light-loving and moisture-loving plant has a high yield and decorative qualities.
Shrub with many branches, grows up to 5 m high. Homeland - North America. Young shoots are red, after a year - ashy.
Serrated leaves 5-11 cm ovoid or round, dark green above, light below with depressed veins. Small white flowers form an inflorescence with a diameter of 5-7 cm.
Fruits 7 cm long, dark blue, bitter in taste.
Bush or tree up to 3 meters. The branches grow upward, are brown in color. Leaves on the edges toothed rounded rhombic bright green with hairs. In early summer, blooms with pubescent white flowers. Bitter but juicy berries ripen in September.
In sunny places, the culture blooms profusely. It tolerates winter satisfactorily, but branches can be damaged in severe frosts. Therefore, shelter is required, especially if there is little snowfall in winter. The fruits of such a viburnum attract feathered friends to the garden.
Buldenezh is not so often disturbed by pests, but if this happens, it will not be difficult to get rid of them.
Common pests of the "snowball":
Aphids live on the Buldenezh tree and feed on the sap of the leaves. To get rid of uninvited green guests, you need to spray a green culture with soapy water. If this remedy does not help, then use a chemical preparation - Agravertin. Works are carried out in the evening in calm weather. As a preventive measure, it is good to scatter ash around the trunk.
Viburnum leaf beetle is a beetle that gnaws at the leaves of a plant. If you do not take any measures, the viburnum will die. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to treat the crown with karbofos or phosbecide.
In May, larvae grow on the foliage and around the bush, then the first spraying with poison must be done.
If a white bloom appears on the foliage, and it does not disappear, but only increases, this means that the bush has become infected with powdery mildew.
The infection spreads to the entire plant within two weeks. A solution of soda and soap will help get rid of it (100 grams of soda is taken for 20 liters of water).
Spraying should be done after flowering for 3 weeks, with a frequency of 1 time in 7 days.
As a preventive measure, in the spring, Buldenezh is sprayed with an infusion made from tobacco, onion or garlic to choose from.
Kalina Buldenezh is a truly amazing plant. Fits well into the landscape design of any garden. Snow miracle will become wonderful decoration adjoining plot, especially in hot summer.

Bulldonezh or buldenezh (Viburnum Boule de Neige) is a variety of common viburnum, in translation the name of the plant means a snowball or a ball.
Bred specifically for landscape design in France, brought to Russia during the reign of Catherine II.
A pompous shrub, it literally breathes with aristocracy, and everyone can grow it, even in the Urals and Siberia. For success, adhere to the planting and grooming rules that will be discussed in the article.
The height of the shrub varies within 2-3.5 meters, with proper care, the annual growth is 30-40 cm.Viburnum bushes bulldonezh are long-livers - they reach the age of 50-80 years, and the height can be more than 5 m.
Bulldonezh is decorative throughout the season.
The crown is spherical in shape, the shoots are covered with beautiful carved leaves of a light green hue, snow-white inflorescences-balls appear in early summer, and by autumn the leaves turn purple.
There is another decorative form - the Roseum buldenezh. It differs in that at first the inflorescences are greenish, then turn white and by the end of flowering become pinkish.
So, the inflorescences of viburnum buldenezh begin to open in June and delight with beauty for one month. In diameter, the inflorescences are 7-15 cm, under their weight, the branches bend and tilt down, like a weeping willow.
How to plant Kalina Buldenezh in the garden
In order for the bush to develop well and bloom regularly, select a shaded spot for planting. If the bulldonezh grows in an open area with regular exposure to direct sunlight, it can get burns, and in a strong shade, the flowering is poor and short-lived, and the plant will also often be exposed to diseases and pests.
The soil is required to be loose, nutritious and moderately moisture-absorbing. The culture is hygrophilous and will feel good near the reservoir, but avoid stagnation of moisture at the roots, be sure to lay a drainage layer in the planting hole.
Planting can be done in spring or fall. The plant quickly develops a voluminous root system, so the depth of the planting hole should be about half a meter, the diameter is about 60 cm.
We lay drainage at the bottom (coarse sand and peat), then add 3-4 buckets of rotted manure or compost, supplement the nutritional pillow with 2 glasses of wood ash and 1 glass of nitrophoska.
We put a seedling in the middle and cover it with earth, deepen the root collar into the soil by 3-4 cm. Water well, when the water is absorbed, mulch with peat or humus. Cut the shoots by 1/3 so that the seedling takes root faster.
The most important thing is to ensure timely watering, especially during periods of drought. We know from a folk song that viburnum blossoms in a field by a stream. So water abundantly and often. Before the onset of autumn cold weather, the soil should be well saturated with moisture, then the plant will successfully overwinter.
To get the most lush bloom, feed the bulldonezh in the spring and summer. If the soil is fertile, it is enough to bring about 2 buckets of compost under one bush annually in the spring, it is distributed in the trunk circle and carefully embedded in the soil.
In other cases, wood ash or mineral fertilizers will be required:

The bush requires sanitary pruning. Every spring, before flowering, remove dried, damaged, and weak branches directed to the center of the bush.
At the end of flowering, thin out the central part, slightly shorten the protruding side shoots, but no more than a third, otherwise they will not bloom. Leave 8 skeletal branches for each mature shrub.
If necessary, pruning can be carried out during the summer, but no later than the end of August - the plant should have time to harden itself by the onset of winter.
Scheme of pruning a viburnum bush buldenezh
Under the weight of the spreading inflorescences, the twigs can bend strongly and break. Of course, they can be used for cutting, but it is better to tie the branches to the supports.
If you still dare to cut the bulldonezh in the fall, cut only the dried and weak thin branches, "looking" in the middle of the bush. It is better not to cut the remaining branches along the length, because flower buds are laid at the tips. Do fall pruning no later than September.
Young bulldozer bushes will need shelter for the winter - in the fall, mulch the trunk circle with humus. If the winter is harsh, the shoots of adult bushes may freeze slightly, but with the onset of spring they will quickly recover.
To help the ornamental viburnum successfully overwinter, in September, feed it with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers:
It is advisable to transplant in the fall, in September-October. So the plant will suffer less from violation of the root system. You can transplant in the spring, but try to do it as early as possible, preferably before bud break.
Only young bushes up to 3-4 years old can be transplanted. Well-grown bushes may not withstand transplanting and die. The fact is that the root system of the viburnum is very weak, on the thick roots there is a thin web of peripheral roots, which simply crumble if the bush is dug up.
Therefore, you need to dig very carefully: first, dig in the bush along the edge of the trunk circle to a depth equal to half the height of the bush, and then dig in from below so as to cut the roots from below.
Ideally, you should get an earthen ball with a preserved root system.
To prevent the earth from crumbling, water the plant in a day, and let the earth dry out a little so that it remains moist, but does not stick to the shovel.
The dug bush is carefully transferred to a new place, into a previously prepared hole. If the roots are still bare and the earth crumbles, hold the bush for several hours in the root solution, and then plant it. After planting, water abundantly and then monitor the humidity so that the transplanted viburnum buldenezh does not die.
Thinning the bush is required not only to maintain decorativeness, but also to protect against pests and diseases.
In cold, rainy weather, it is affected by powdery mildew, gray mold, or spotting. Throughout the season, carry out preventive treatment with an onion, garlic or tobacco solution. If the disease has arisen, treat with a solution of the drug Abiga-Peak, Hom and others will do.
Without thinning the bush, pests can become active - viburnum leaf beetle, black aphid, spotted scale insect, cap moth.
Aphids "stick around" the tops of young shoots and inflorescences at the very beginning of flowering. To combat the pest, Inta-Vir and Iskra preparations are very effective. Dilute according to the instructions, it will take 2-3 treatments with an interval of 10-12 days.
To protect the bulldonezh from the viburnum leaf beetle, destroy the clutches in the fall. They are predominantly located at the tops of the shoots, you will notice dark tubercles in the egg clutches. Cut and burn these parts, spray the bushes with a solution of the drug Karbofos. In the spring, re-inspect and repeat the procedure if necessary.
Against other pests, you can use the same Karbofos, Spark, Fufafon.
The flowers of this plant are sterile, therefore reproduction is exclusively vegetative.
Buldenezh reproduction by cuttings photo
Bulldonezh reproduces well by cuttings. They are cut from the shoots of the current year at the beginning of summer, make the lower cut at an angle of 45 °, and the upper cut straight. The stalk should contain a pair of growth buds. Completely remove the lower leaves from the cutting, and it is advisable to cut the upper ones in half.
For rooting, we take loose soil or sand, deepen the cutting by 1.5-2 cm, water it and cover it with plastic wrap or a plastic bottle. Water and ventilate the greenhouse regularly. When the cuttings take root, plant them in a growing bed, then transplant them to a permanent growth site.
The snow-white inflorescences of the bulldonezh look appropriate against the background of a green lawn and a multi-colored flower bed. Plant single bushes near the house, and a hedge can be created in a large garden area.

Another option is to plant various bulbs every season (daffodils, tulips, snowdrops), the time of flowering of which ends before bulldonezh and does not set off beauty.
Over the years, the bush becomes sprawling, luxurious - plant it by a reservoir paired with a willow.
The delicate bush looks great against the background of strict and majestic conifers (spruce, pine, thuja).

Harmoniously, the beauty of buldenezh is complemented by parallel flowering bushes: lilacs of various tones (from light lilac to dark), delicate garden mock-orange, colored hydrangea, and inflorescences of white hydrangea paniculata will support the concept of a snow-white garden.
