ALDER-LEAFED BARKBERRY. Amelanchier alnifolia (Rosaceae Family).

 GROWING BARKBERRY

 The greatest advantage of the baskberry is its high frost resistance and early ripening of its fruit. The first fruits ripen in late June. The plant produces its first harvest in the third year after planting and continues to bear fruit annually for 40-50 years. It reaches full productivity at 6-8 years of age. It is easy to care for—it grows well and thrives in almost any soil and is highly resistant to diseases and pests.

Callas are perennial plants that require a dormant period in winter.

 Callas are beautifully flowering perennials, they can be grown as a potted plant, or planted in the garden. With the arrival of the first frosts, the question arises: how to store callas in winter? For productive wintering, they need a temperature of at least -2ºС. Not all climate zones are characterized by such mild winter weather, so these perennials need to be dug up for the winter to create optimal conditions for them.

Callas are perennial plants
 that require
 a dormant period in winter.

HOW TO DIG UP CALLAS CORRECTLY?

 The time for this technological operation is after the first frosts, approximately:

- early October in the middle zone,

- early November - in more southern regions.

 There is no need to worry that the first small frosts will damage the plant. On the contrary, this will be a signal for it about the end of the vegetative period. The plant will stop spending nutrients on the formation of leaves when it begins to prepare for the dormant period.

Tulip "Norah".

 While most of us tend to think of tulips as big-flowered beauties that need to be replanted every year, wild tulips, or botanical tulips, are true perennials. What their flowers lack in size, they make up for in profusion, and they’ll come back again the following year. Tulip humilis ‘Norah’ falls into this group, and while this low-growing plant variety isn’t part of the tulip aristocracy, it certainly deserves to be!
