• urolithiasis or chronic diseases of the gallbladder (the slightest increase in acidity in such disorders is contraindicated);
• tendency to various bleedings (including hemorrhoids);

When good frosts begin, the berries are simply shaken off onto a cloth spread under the tree.

To make jam, jam or butter, you need to use unripe berries. In this case, you can use a loop of strong steel wire and harvest by “sniffing” the branches.
