We have long been growing Aktinidia near the house. This is vitamin
Fruit liana. Her old grades are divided into men's and women's plants and
We need early shelter for the winter.
Our variety is very warm-loving, he does not withstand zero
temperature, so we hide it in mid-September, and open it then
When the danger of frosts pass.
The main difference of this Liana is that it is very
attractive for cats. Aktinidia highlights the same essential oilsthat and roots
Valerians.
Several times I brought a male bush, but
After the landing found only the apiced pennies and an absolutely drunk cat near him. It
I rode with my side on my side, growled and even licked the earth. I had to carry it into the house and think about protecting young actinidia.
At first I put the fence purchased in the store, but it was not as high as I thought. The cat, leaning on her, got up on the hind legs and gladly bite the leaves and twigs. Of course, this is not as dangerous as the nitration of the roots, but not desirable.
I had to drive some strong and high supports, but around them stretch, folded several times, the grid. Such protection turned out to be effective: quite high so that the cat takes out to branches and roots, it is easy to assemble it in the fall before putting the Lian and close it.

The most interesting thing is that the neighboring cats did not pay attention to Aktinidia. There were no traditional "concerts" as they arrange
Valeryans. Only our favorites react even on broken branches, and our
Senior Kotya simply adores her.
The plant, protected in this way, was perfect.
The old plant no longer attracts cats. You only need to track to
Growth and young
Aktinidia is a valuable plant with a large content of vitamin C. The fruits contain acids that can be used for therapeutic purposes. An obstacle to his acquisition often becomes a domestic cat. It represents a threat to a plant, engaged in young landings. To help Lian, should take measures to protect it. It is possible to do this with the help of healthy items and tricks.
Aktinond berries have an attracting smell, since they contain fragrant substances. Such components are available in Valerian. For cats, this fragrance is expressed in the form of a narcotic effect. He excites the feeling of euphoria, violates coordination, relaxes the muscles and confuses the animal consciousness.
On a note!
Inhaling the smell, cats behave abnormally, feel overexcitation or sleep.
Pets prefer to break the landing completely or gnawing berries and bark. Often you can observe cases like animals rub about the trunk. Sometimes they completely pull out the actinidia or fall asleep right around the hemp. Owners often observe the fights of several pets for this plant. Feline family has an excellent sense of smell, therefore I feel Lian from afar.
Frequent animal attacks require immediate action. According to Felinologists to save Aktindia, you should resort to the following actions:
On a note!
There are types of feline that do not feed interest in actinidia. Recommended initially check the reaction of a domestic pet on Liana.
Protection is required only for a while. Then the trunks of Liana become too solid and unattractive. Pets get used to young shipments. At the time when they have not yet fastened the stalks. According to the observations of the fellinologists, the complete protection of the plant will allow on the subconscious level to wean animals. After some time, the remedies are cleaned.
Liana in most cases needs good protected from pets. If you can protect against the threat, you can extract a lot useful properties From Aktindia. The presence of a cat is not an obstacle to growing medical herbs. Observing protection measures, you can minimize the risk of their destruction.
Gardening exciting occupation. Initially, only the lawn was planned in front of the house, but then I wanted fruit, berries and "spectable special." In search of new products, we go to the exhibition, and we are offered Aktinidia. Many people do not know what it is and is asked: "is it a tree or bush?" Someone is more familiar with this culture. Candidate of the village of Sciences Natalia Vasilyevna Kozak is responsible for questions.
How does Aktinidia grow?
Actinidium wrapping deciduous wood liana Far East. It wonderful in the conditions of the Moscow region and more northern regions of Russia. Gives delicious fruits similar to miniature kiwi.
In Europe, the Far Eastern acts of actinidia are often called "midikivi" or "Russian kiwi", since the fruits that we buy in stores called "Kiwifruit", also the fruits of actinidium, but species capable of growing only in the subtropics of Aktinidia Sweet and Aktinidia Chinese.
For sale seen actinidia kolomykt and argut. Which is better?
On your test site in the suburbs we grow three types of actinidia: a. Colorict, a. Argut and a. Polygam. To the question of which type of actinidia is tastier, better and more useful, I would answer like this.
Of the three species that are available in our collection in Mikhnevo, everyone is good, everyone loves and everyone needs to be needed.
Aktinidia Kolomykt ripens the first, the earliest varieties are ready at the end of July, and at the end of August end to remove her harvest.
Aktinidia Argut and Polygam takes the relay, they begin to ripen in late August, and throughout September you can use the fresh fruits of Aktindia Argut and Polygam.
What actinidium is tastier?
Each type of their advantages. If Aktinidia Kolomykta Champion vitamin C, then Aktinidia Argut can be a champion of yield at a good agrotechnology, she has a richer taste compared to the kolomykta. Even the lessed gourmets prefer to taste exactly the argument. The flesh of fruits is delicate, melting in the mouth, less sour, and berries are larger.
The advantage of actinidia is the argument is that the fruits of it are small-acid compared to other garden crops. At the same time, they contain a lot of vitamin C.
If the actinide of the kolomykt is vitamin C from 1000 to 2000 mg%, then the arguity is 100,200 mg%, and sometimes 70 mg%. But still it is a lot!
For example, take citrus. This is our main source of vitamin C. Lemons from the store contain 50100 mg%. But, feel the difference: Lemons are very sour, and in the fruits of actinidia acids only 12%!
Once I had to hand over to biochemical analysis of actinidia fruits. Our new employees simply did not believe that at such low acidity they contain so much vitamin C.
Aktinidia Polygam Unicum, some in a joke is called her "vegetable actinidia". This is not quite so. It is really kind of taste. While the fruits of the polygamas of green, they all have a sharp taste, resembling chili pen. As the rafides ripening go, and the fruits of orange color acquire the aroma and taste, like bulgarian pepper, only sweeter.
True, some varieties of sharpness remain. And yet, in full maturity, the poligam has a sweeter and delicate taste. In expensive restaurants, the fruits of actinidia polygam are served as a spicy supplement to meat and fish dishes.
Aktinidia Polygam is growing less frequently, as exotic. However, it is useful to know that it contains a medicinal substance that is included in the Japanese pharmacope and is called polyigamol. It treats the diseases of the stomach and the common focusing acts on the body. Polygam fruits contain betacaitin (provitamin a) at the level of apricot, as well as vitamin C (100,200 mg%).
What are the features in Akrotechnika Aktinidia?
Atinidia moisture. This quality can be put in first place. For other parameters of frost resistance, demandingness to soils, actinidium fully fits into that general level of garden crops that are rather unpretentious.
Do I have to put support for actinidia?
Aktinidia Perennial Wood Liana. On your test site in Mihnevo, we grow them with forming trimming without support. In the field, this technology is most convenient. But, in return, the technique of trimming needs to be mastering, and vast, on the support of the Lianov develop faster.
I heard what actinidia is freezed. How do they winter?
Indeed, they often say that "... Aktinidia I died out." I ask to show me these plants of Aktinidia. It turns out that they are simply no cat ate! When the actinidia is frozen, there is a dry stem, and here a naked land. Cats great lovers of young actinidia, so the first two years they must be protected by a mesh from cats. The grid is sold in the store. It is collapsed with a roll around a seedling, and he is protected.
What actinidium is the most winter hardy?
The most stable is the actinide kolomykta. This is the most frost-resistant and vitamin type of actinidia. He is able to grow in Vologda and even in Tyumen on the eternal Merzlot! In the Moscow region, it develops the more well. Even with not very thorough care can give 56 kg of fruits from the plant.
But the argut is very winter-hardy, we have a great winter in the suburbs.
And how does the actinide transfers freezing?
The limiting factor for our region is that actinide is subjected to refundable freezers. It is no secret that the Moscow region is possible freezing to 350s even in the first decade of June. In this case, blossomed young shoots, leaves and buds are dying, but then there is an active recovery, and after 23 weeks the whole plantation is green. Reliance annual shoots from spare kidney. Most often, such kidneys do not contain flowering adventures, in connection with which the harvest falls.
Also, frosts are dangerous for young plants, so if you planted them at the end of May or beginning of June, please keep track of the temperature and in the case of frosts cover any material that holds the heat.
Do you need to cover adult actinidia or shoot them from support?
A large plant to hide problematic, but I really want fruits ... In this case, the tested reception landing near the wall of the house helps.
If the plant is planted at the capital wall, which warms up the day, then in a cold night she slowly gives warmth. The temperature difference can be only a degree, but this happens enough to protect the liano from the frost. Therefore, most often in landing actinidium near residential houses Harvests are annual.
When is it better to plant Aktinidia?
The main thing is to be thoroughly pronounced gauze or spandbon, something such that it would create a non-deep shadow, and half-day to protect the actinidia from direct sunlight.
It is also necessary to clutch the soil around the plants to save moisture, and the seedlings often spray with water (in the heat in the morning and in the evening).
We planted Aktinidia, and she does not fruit. They say the fruit will not be, because we have a male plant. Is it so?
Aktinidia do not change the floor during life. If during flowering you saw that this is a male plant, it will be so for the rest of the life of men. To receive actinidia fruits, women's plants and one-bedroom are needed. In complete fruiting actinidium entering 710. I believe that one family needs to have 5 female Lian one of the types of actinidia, and the fruit will be enough to eat in season, freeze, cook jam, jam. If you wish, you can make wine.

About the reproduction of actinidia, as well as about its varieties you can read in the next issue of the magazine. Do not miss it on sale, but better subscribe to the "Magic Garden".
Aktinidia is necessarily needed opo ra. The plant can use already available (when landing around conversations, fence, near the veranda, in buildings from the South and South-Western Parties). If a separate area is removed for it, then before planting, be sure to push the sleeper. For the device, iron-concrete or wooden poles of high-so 2 -2.5 m rolls into the ground, and 3-4 rows of galvanized wire with a cross between 4-5 mm are stretched between them. The use of trees-EB as a support will not benefit with a tree nor Lyan.
At the permanent place, the seedlings of the Vya-live in spring to the dissolution of the kidneys. The distance between the plants in a row is 1.5-2 m, between the rows of 3-4 m. For deco-radiation purposes and landscaping, actinidia is planted after 0.7-1 m. For 2-3 female plants take one man's. The landing pits digging the size of 60x60 cm. At the bottom of the pit lay out drainage from the bi-of-one brick, gravel, clay. The mixture of fertile soil is poured from above - 10 kg of humus, 400 g of wood ash and 200 g of superphosphate. The depth of planting should be such that after watering and precipitation of the soil root neck was at the level of the surface of the Earth. Then the growing is mounted with a peat or by a humid layer 4-5 cm. The overhead part of the UCO-rapid to height is 5-7cm, leaving 2-3 good kidneys on the shoots.
Immediately after planting plants need protect from catswho gnaw young shoots. For this landing is fencing with different grids.
When accommodating Aktindia on from-indoor place, the first 2 years after the positive plant pretty (gauze, Loutrasil, etc.). The soil is constantly containing in loose and free from weeds of consumer, with the beginning of fruiting under the per-spring jurisdiction annually contribute to 15-25 g / m² of ammonium nitrate or urea. Under the autumn resistance of the so-one every 2-3 years per m² ": 4-6 kg of manure or compost, 30-40 g of Superfos Fata and 15-25 g of potassium salt. Young plants are hidden for the winter.
To provide a good yield of Lian, their annually form and do, Trimming can be made deep in the fall or in the summer in June-July. Shape actinidia on a wire chopler starts the first year after landing: in the fall, two of the most severe escapes are chosen and tied them to the first lake of the Trelliers horizontally into counterpart sides. In November, the rest of the shoots cut out. On the actinidia there are only two main vines. IN next year The shoots growing on these vines are encouraged on the spleker vertically. They will be fruitful. From those growing on them for the 3rd year, two are again chosen and also have horizontally, directing in opposite sides. Sleeping shoots follows every year to shorten, leaving 4-5 kidneys behind the upper berry. Slices are nailed to garden water.
The main harvest of actinidia is kept in August. Ripe fruit becomes soft and tremendous, therefore they need to be collected daily. Systematic cleaning is obligatory, as actinidia fruits are easy prey of slugs and miserable rodents.
So that the berries do not get to the ground, the sleeper is made with a slope in the northern or eastern side. Under the inclined heat, they spread the film and every day in the morning or evening ripening and the fallen fruits shake off the film into the appropriate dishes.
It is even better under actinidia on the necks at some distance from the surface of the soil tighten the gauze. This will allow even rainy weather to clean the yago-dyes clean. You can remove the fruits into one method, after it matures 10-15% of the total crop. The berries removed in this phase are spread in a thin layer in a revealed room, and after a few days they repent.
Actinidia's fruits are consumed in a fresh form, and juice, compote, crude jam, jam, sometimes dried from them. All recycling products for a long time retain the aroma and vitamin C.
