Currant

Currants - black, red, white, as well as pink and golden - are an unpretentious berry bush that has long been loved by Russian gardeners. There are many varieties of it, and breeders are constantly developing new varieties with improved characteristics, including those with genetically built immunity against certain diseases or not being affected by a certain type of pest. But they are not yet able to completely protect the culture from attacks of pathogenic fungi, viruses, bacteria, insects. Therefore, the gardener must be able to recognize suspicious symptoms in time, identify the problem and deal with it.

Currants, like other berry bushes, need pruning. The novice gardener cuts all the plants according to the principle: the sick and the weak are down, and let the rest grow. But when the bush is more than three years old, healthy, strong branches have to be cut to avoid thickening.

Currant is a frequent visitor to summer cottages. Sometimes it happens that the place where it is planted is not the best. There are other reasons why you need to transplant an adult bush. It is not difficult to do this, but you need to choose the right time, place and carry out the operation itself.

Currants are rich in vitamins, tasty and healthy, so gardeners often plant them on their plots. But sometimes they forget that in order to get a powerful harvest, it needs to be fed and watered.

Currant is one of the first shrubs planted by a summer resident on a newly acquired plot. Caring for it is quite simple, the harvest appears after a couple of years and grows quickly, the berries are tasty and very healthy. Reproduction of currants is also not a big deal. Let's consider how it is easier and more reliable to do this.
