Honeysuckle varieties with large fruits
This unique plant was not familiar to me in my childhood. Now in recent years it has become so popular that it is already necessary to understand planting and care, varieties and features. We once planted a seedling, which was given by the neighbors of summer residents from our village. But they did not recognize the variety. It turns out that the quality of the fruit and the composition of trace elements depend on the variety.
In this fruit shrub, you can, like black currant, not only use berries, but also boil the leaves and dry them for the winter. You can write a lot about the benefits of honeysuckle, later I will publish a separate article for readers with a description of the properties.
