European blueberry "Lesnaja Zhemchuzhina"
Vaccinium myrtillus L.
European blueberry "Forest pearl" - Vaccinium myrtillus.
A perennial low deciduous shrub from the Lingonberry family, 15-40 cm high. The berries are spherical, black, with a bluish bloom. The berries ripen in July-August, they do not ripen immediately, which is due to the non-simultaneity of flowering. The pulp is juicy, reddish-purple, with numerous seeds, contains tannins, organic acids, vitamins A, C and group B.
Blueberries grow on moist, light soils, and feel great under the canopy of trees. They can also grow in the sun, but only if there is a large amount of moisture in the soil and air.
When growing from seeds, blueberries are sown superficially in a container with peat, constantly moistened with a spray. Shoots appear after 14 days. A year later, the seedlings are planted in a permanent place in the garden. To do this, make planting holes at a distance of 0.7-1 m and fill them with a mixture of coniferous and leaf soil, fine gravel and coarse fibrous peat in a ratio of 1:2:1:3. Add 20 g of nitrogen and 15 g of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
At the bottom, make drainage 5-10 cm thick from coniferous branches and large sawdust. In nature, blueberries grow exclusively on acidic soils, so they have to be constantly watered with acidified water (0.1 g of concentrated sulfuric acid dissolved in 10 liters of water). In early spring and during the period of active growth of shoots, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are added. The plant is cold-resistant, so it does not need shelter for the winter.

* This crop has its own ecological characteristics, without which attempts to grow it in the garden are doomed to failure. For example, blueberries like high air humidity. Therefore, it is better to plant them in partial shade, under the canopy of trees. You can plant blueberries in the sun, but then you need to spray it 2-3 times a day, especially in hot, sunny weather, otherwise the plant will die from drying out. Blueberries can be used to create berry glades among tall trees and to frame banks located in the shade.
