Outdoor wintering
Outdoor wintering is very risky for Multiflora, but this process is successful for some growers. To do this, you should build a good shelter yourself.
There should be no pits in the soil around the bush so that moisture does not linger in them. During a thaw, the soil will receive an excessive amount of moisture, which will cause the roots to die.
Before the shelter, the shrub is pruned so that it can fit under the canopy. The frame of the shelter is made of boards, on which the insulation is placed. The cover is removed in March-April, after the frost has receded.
