Rules for care and cultivation
Autumn is the perfect time to plant black and red currants. By spring, the seedlings will take root well and begin intensive growth. To obtain a high yield of currants, it is necessary to choose good planting material, provide the plant with proper and constant care.
Since blackcurrant loves regular watering, it is necessary to carry out it 3-4 times a week. Lack of moisture can lead to leaf fall and smaller crops.
When watering the bushes, do not forget about the leaves - they also love water. Limit watering the leaves except during the period of active flowering.
Currant is a light-loving culture. Therefore, you should not plant it in the shade of fences, buildings, trees. Where there is no light, the harvest will be much lower.
In one place, blackcurrant, subject to the necessary requirements, grows and bears fruit well up to 10 years. And already in the third year after planting, you can get the first harvest. But for more than 6 years it makes no sense to exploit the bushes.
