General characteristics of the plant
Currently, about 200 species of viburnum are known. Viburnum viburnum is especially common. It belongs to the deciduous trees of the Adaxaceae family. The umbellate and spherical inflorescences may have light pink or white flowers. Blooming viburnum is pleasing to the eye. The leaves grow in pairs, opposite. They are especially beautiful in autumn. The fruits of the plant are red berries with a bitter taste.
The tree lives on average up to 60 years. The height of the plant is 2-3 meters, less commonly you can find specimens up to 5 m. Viburnum grows in a temperate climate zone.
Currently, gardeners are happy to plant it along with other fruit trees. Look at the photo to see what viburnum looks like growing separately and together with other fruit trees.
Safety
The serial Lada Kalina was modified not only in the technical part. A beautiful and dynamic car must meet all safety standards. So, AvtoVAZ engineers modified the car body by installing additional bars in the doors. This saves your chances in a side collision. The frame itself is made of stronger sheets of steel. They did not forget about active safety. Thus, already in the basic configuration, the car is equipped with a brake force distribution system and directional stability stabilization.
The latter was developed and implemented thanks to close cooperation with. Now the car has become more maneuverable and predictable to drive. And since the laws of the Russian Federation do not allow driving a car without DRLs, they are already included “in the database.” Belts with pretensioners are equipped with electronic sensors that will sound an alarm if the driver is not fastened and begins to drive. And the red light on the instrument panel will light up. There are also airbags here. There are two of them - front ones for the driver and front passenger. Unfortunately, there are no side ones even in the top version.
Basic landing rules
Growing viburnum does not require any special approach; it takes root well. He prefers peat, sandy or podzolic soil types. Viburnum can be planted in autumn and spring. The soil needs to be dug up, removing all weeds.
When planting in spring, you should prepare a hole measuring 40x50 cm, about 50 cm deep. If several bushes are planted, the distance from the holes should be at least 2.5 m. Three-year-old seedlings will take root better.
Pour a mixture of the following composition into each hole:
- soil from the top layer of soil;
- humus;
- fertilizer.
As a fertilizer, you can take Nitrophoska in the amount of 2 cups, mix with a bucket of humus and soil. Place 2/3 of this mixture in the hole. Pour out 4 buckets of water and leave for about a week. At the end of the period, we fill the hole with the rest of the soil mixture with a hill of about 10 cm. We straighten the roots of the young plant and compact the soil around it.
The seedling should be well watered and mulched with compost, peat or humus. The root collar should be 5 cm underground. Autumn planting follows the same rules. It is better to do this before frost sets in.
Luxury Navigation
Here, unlike the previous one, there is a full power package and multimedia with a touchscreen. The radio supports wireless communication via Bluetooth. The Navigation features 15-inch alloy wheels and a full-size stamped spare tire. Mirrors and floorings are painted in body color. Instead of an air conditioner, a climate system is installed here.
You can purchase a new Lada Kalina 2020 car through an official dealer in your city on credit or trade-in. The advantage of both purchasing methods is the ability to purchase a car with only a down payment. The car owner pays the rest of the amount over 1-3 years through the bank. The disadvantage of the loan is the high interest rate.
Trade-in in this case is more profitable. By handing over your old car to the dealer, you get a 20-30 percent discount on the car. This amount will become the down payment. The remaining money is paid monthly at a rate 2 times lower than the loan.
So, we found out what technical characteristics, design and price the Lada Kalina has. As you can see, this car is worthy of the audience's attention.
Let's move from the street to the salon.
The absence of a temperature indicator is compensated by the indicators of the built-in BC. In addition to this, it has other functions. Some are useful, some not so much. Here to each his own. Nice 1)
Built-in multimedia on hard drive 4. The radio picks up - I don’t need anything else. By the way, you can see my favorite radio stations) Nice 2)
One could only dream of such a panel in Lada 5 years ago! Very nice)
A not too thick A4 folder (no more than 20-25 sheets) fits into the glove compartment. If it is thicker, it can rest against the “shelf” that divides the glove compartment into 2 parts and interfere with closing the lid. Here I am indifferent, because... I carry maximum documents in the glove compartment. They fit into this - that means everything is great!)
“Ashtray” (a piggy bank for me, because I don’t smoke), a few more niches for a cell phone or something similar. They ask for rugs because... My phone is smaller than the niche and when rolling around it in turns, it can get scratched. Indifference 2)
There's nothing unusual about the seats. I sat down, adjusted it and forgot about it. I liked it.
The trunk is typical hatchback size. The mesh from the factory is a very nice addition from AvtoVAZ) Nice 3) A driver's set and floor mats for the interior and trunk are an addition from the dealer. (Thank you Yura!)
We are reviewing the Lada Kalina, variation 1. Nothing has changed radically in the car since 2004, although development has been carried out since 1993. If the Lada Kalina had been released in the 90s, then it would have had no competition. But, alas! Over the years, this Lada has acquired features: air conditioning, ABS, airbags and a new 16-valve 1.4 engine.
Plant care
Plantings need care. This includes tilling the soil and applying fertilizers. It is also necessary to protect viburnum from pests and diseases.
In the first spring months, you need to loosen the soil around the trunk. To destroy the pests remaining after winter, it is necessary to treat viburnum bushes with fungicides. It is important to do this before the buds open, otherwise a burn may occur.
You can feed the tree with a 7% urea solution. In May, fertilizing is carried out with potassium fertilizer. After flowering, complex fertilizer is applied.
If pests appear, they must be destroyed. This can be done with environmentally friendly infusions. To prepare them, tobacco, potato tops, onion or garlic peels are used.
Viburnum should be watered regularly, especially in hot and dry weather. One bush requires approximately 3 buckets of water. Young seedlings require less moisture. It is better to water viburnum in the evening. We also loosen the soil and control weeds.
For preventive pest control, liquid fertilizer is applied to the soil in the fall. You need to dissolve 30 g of potassium sulfate and 30 g of superphosphate in 10 liters of water.
How to prune a plant
The tree is pruned in spring or autumn. In spring, it is better to do this before the juice begins to flow. First you should think about how exactly you want to prune the viburnum, in the form of a tree or a bush?

What are the benefits of pomegranate for health and immunity?
First we do sanitary pruning, and then formative pruning. For the tree you need to leave one branch growing upward. At the bottom of the stem, the buds are removed. The trunk is removed within two years. When its height is approximately 1.5 m, the growth point is pinched. In subsequent years, the tree will begin to branch.
The root shoots are constantly removed to prevent the formation of shrubs. If you decide to grow viburnum as a bush, then pruning is still necessary. A crown that is too thick is not convenient for picking fruits. Their quality will deteriorate over time.
Just as with other trees, you need to remove bushes that grow inward or intertwine with each other. For rejuvenation, cut off old branches 1/3 per year.
In the fall, sanitary pruning of viburnum is performed. It is necessary to remove dry, broken, diseased branches. If the cut is thick, then it needs to be treated with garden varnish. The pruning procedure is carried out in calm, dry weather.
Tuning Lada Kalina
AvtoVAZ has been producing the Lada Kalina for several years. And no matter how much they scold her, no matter how much anyone likes her, people buy Kalina in large quantities. The car may not be very successful in appearance, but compared to previous models, Kalina is still a more modern and safer car.
In order to somehow correct the unsightly appearance, many Kalina owners are thinking about tuning it. As you know, tuning can be carried out in several different directions: external, interior tuning, as well as chassis and engine tuning.
In this article we will look at the external tuning of the Lada Kalina. Still, the visual component is extremely important for the owner of a Lada Kalina if he is thinking about tuning the exterior. And if you want to attract attention on the road, only external tuning will help Kalina.
A large pipe with a loud exhaust sound now causes more irritation than respect from others. Moreover, on Kalina... It’s more expensive to seriously modernize the technical part, and you won’t get much speed in the city. And, although this aspect is quite important, it is still better to start with external improvements.
Tuning a VAZ Kalina is simply unthinkable without installing high-quality wheels. Standard stampings and caps are no good. To make the description more clear, the article contains photos of tuning Kalinas taken from the social network for motorists DRIVE2.RU
So, choosing stylish wheels for the Lada Kalina is not so difficult, since their choice is quite wide. The main thing is not to take colored wheels. The only exceptions are white wheels and, in rare cases, black ones. It is important that the color of the wheels harmonizes with the color of the body.
It is also not recommended to install 15-inch wheels on Kalina. It may look good, but there are more disadvantages than advantages. Driving on our roads will become even less pleasant, and it is also possible that the tires will touch the wheel arches.
Next - optics. It’s unlikely that anything can be done with the front, the main thing is that even the factory one has good light. But you can also look at alternative taillights. There is a choice.
A body kit for the Lada Kalina can be purchased without any problems for both a sedan and a hatchback. Tuning studios offer various options for body kits and spoilers. Of course, it is still advisable not to overload the body with a large amount of plastic.
Having finished with the exterior, you can move into the interior. Tuning the interior of the Lada Kalina is not very diverse. You can replace the steering wheel, instrument panel, install sports front seats and pedal pads. Music lovers can take up audio preparation, but this is a topic for another discussion.
In general, high-quality external tuning of the Lada Kalina will help transform the appearance of the car quite well. If it seems that the car is driving so-so, then it’s time to start modifying the equipment. You can read in sufficient detail about all the intricacies of chip tuning Kalina and its engine here.
Now I propose to consider several specific options from real Kalina owners in DRIVE2.RU For example, a tuning Lada Kalina sedan on huge wheels. It looks amazing, another question is how does it drive? In addition, the car will be deprived of door handles, which again is not practical, but at least it looks original.
Below is one of the most extreme options for tuning Kalina. Excellent body kit, large wing, beautiful wheels, alternative taillights, non-standard mirrors and even turn signal repeaters. In addition, another option for external tuning of Lada Kalina is applying a film or repainting the body panels in different colors. The hood, roof and trunk lid of this car are matte black.
The next option is simple, but tasteful. Tuning Lada Kalina hatchback with shortened springs, white rims, the size of which does not go beyond reason, as well as an original spoiler above the rear window. The owner of this car also chose a beautiful body color.
External tuning of Kalina Sport is the easiest to carry out. The car already has a spoiler, stylish bumpers, and the rear one is even equipped with a diffuser. Quality wheels, tint and alternative taillights will be enough to bring such a car to shine.
Application of viburnum
Viburnum berries have beneficial properties. Their taste is not very attractive, but the pulp contains a large amount of vitamins. They treat the kidneys, heart, stomach and other organs. Viburnum fruits help boost immunity.
Infusions and decoctions of berries are useful. They are used to treat skin diseases. The leaves and shoots of the plant also have healing powers. Viburnum is used in the food and cosmetic industries. It is recommended to harvest after the first frost.
For some people it is contraindicated as an allergen. Pregnant women and people with low blood pressure are not recommended to consume the berries of this plant. There are other restrictions. Therefore, before use, you need to consult a doctor.
Plant viburnum on your site. With proper care, it will bring you joy with its appearance and help in the treatment of various diseases.
Interior
So let's move inside the car. Thanks to the wide-opening doors, getting into the car is very comfortable. The seats have good lateral support and are moderately hard. The ceiling height is enough for even a two-meter driver to sit behind the wheel.
The instrument panel is built according to all European canons. It is worth noting the convenient location of the buttons on the center console and steering column switches. The Lada Kalina 2016 is fully equipped with a multimedia system with a large touch screen in the middle. The salon is very cozy. Visibility of the car is excellent. The finishing materials are made well. They do not rattle when moving, as was the case in the first versions of Kalina.
The steering wheel has small slots for a more comfortable grip. The instrument panel is made in the form of two wells with speedometer and tachometer scales. There is also an on-board computer. Previously, VAZ owners could not even dream about it. Now this option is already available in the basic configuration of the Lada Kalina 2020. The finishing of the door panels deserves respect. The stitching is done very well, the gaps are all in place. When moving, it does not fall off or squeak.
Noise insulation at a high level. Control buttons for power windows and mirrors are conveniently located on the door handle. By the way, some production cars are even equipped with heated seats. But we'll talk about the configurations a little later. In the meantime, let's take a look under the hood of the Lada Kalina hatchback.
