In Culture
Frost resistance zones : from 6a to warmer [4] .
It is recommended to plant in places lit by the sun or in partial shade. Shoots are stretched in the shade and flowering is deteriorating.
Soil : well-drained, moderately moist, fertile.
Recommended feeding: annually one bucket of slurry (1:10). In the 3rd year after planting, mineral fertilizers are applied : 15 g of urea , 30 g of superphosphate , 15 g of potassium sulfate , which are diluted in 10 l of water and spent on 1-2 plants. After flowering on 1 m², 20-30 g of superphosphate and 15 g of potassium sulfate or 100-150 g of wood ash are produced .
Formative pruning . In early spring, the strongest shoots are pruned weakly, and the weak shoots - strong. Remove shoots older than 10 years.
Anti-aging pruning . In early spring, 3-4 shoots are shortened to 30-40 cm. All the rest are cut off at soil level. Slices are treated with garden var. The trunk circle is mulched with compost . During the growing season, the bush is fed several times with organic fertilizers and regularly watered. The following spring, almost all shoots are removed, cut into a ring, and only 2-3 of the strongest of which form the basis of a new bush are left on each hemp [6] .
