In the late 19th - early 20th centuries, gooseberries are known in Russia, but with the advent of American powdery mildew, the area of ​​distribution decreased significantly. A large number of European varieties ruined the disease, there was a question about new, resistant samples. As a result of painstaking, complex work in 1959, the scientist Spirin in the Vologda region, on the basis of the selection of seeds by E. Lefort, bred the Seedling Lefort.

Ripening and fruiting

The bush bears fruit twice a summer. The first collection falls in June, the second time - in August. If you did not harvest on time, do not be upset, because the taste of the product will become much better.

Yield

The number of berries harvested reaches from 2 to 5 kilograms.

Landing

When choosing a landing site, it is worth considering some characteristics.

  • The berry loves the sun, so it is worth choosing a place where the sun's rays are present for at least half a day.

  • For productivity, do not forget about watering.

  • The soil is suitable for black earth, but it grows in loam.

  • Plant young seedlings in early spring, the right time is September

It is preferable to plant a bush at a slight slope, leave 2 buds in the ground, 4-5 at the top, cut off the remaining with pruning shears. Water abundantly, the plant does not tolerate chlorine, so the water should be free of impurities.

Planting shrubs in different seasons has its own pros and cons. In order for a gooseberry to start, you need to know some aspects of planting it. First of all, you need to choose the right planting material, then decide on the landing site and competently prepare the planting pit.

Growing and care

To increase the amount of the crop, and to reduce the incidence of disease, fertilizing is carried out in three stages.

Top dressing with nitrate to avoid nitrogen deficiency. For one shrub 40-60 grams of substance.

In the spring, in May, it is worth feeding with a solution of water and droppings, the ratio is 1: 4.

In summer, feed with water, manure and ash. For a plant of 8 liters, such a top dressing will give root growth and fruit filling.

To form a bush, it is worth considering the rule.

  • In the first year, remove the branches that grow downward and trim the shoots by a third.

  • After a year, leave formed from the old ones, cut fresh ones by a third.

  • Repeat the procedure annually.

Before hibernation, the plant should be prepared.

Remove leaves, branches at the very base. Pests, diseases and insects will survive the cold and attack the bush in the spring; humus or peat will help as a heater.

Top dressing of the land, in which there is no nitrogen and there is phosphorus and potassium. This will help overwinter, and in the spring will not allow the plant to deplete. Water with enough water, moist soil will keep warm better than dry soil. The main thing is not to overdo it with the amount of water, this will lead to rotting and death of the plant.

In order to rejuvenate the gooseberry bush, give it a neat look, optimize yield and protect it from pests, it must be periodically pruned. There are several types of pruning: anti-aging, sanitary and shaping. Each of them differs in seasonality and frequency.
For feeding gooseberries, both mineral and complex mixtures are well suited. Pure organic, including homemade, can also be recommended.
Although gooseberries are considered to be an unpretentious crop, they also require regular maintenance. Compliance with agrotechnical practices in the autumn-winter period guarantees the duration of fruiting and high yields for the next year, therefore, preparing the gooseberry for winter is an important event.

Disease and pest resistance

The gooseberry plant is attacked by pests and diseases. Some of the observed: rust, mosaic, anthracnose, septoria. Treatment with a mixture of copper sulfate, 1% Bordeaux liquid. Pests: caterpillar, aphid, glass. A solution of laundry soap or water heated to 80 degrees will help to deal with them.

Over time, the bush reaches a height when the sun does not illuminate the branches, the fruits become smaller and pests appear. Pruning will help preserve the quality of the crop, in the autumn, after hibernation, the bush will come to life, new leaves and buds will appear.

In order for the gooseberry to produce a good harvest, it is necessary to devote time to disease prevention.

One of the positive qualities of a gooseberry is its ease of reproduction. There are a number of methods for creating new bushes from old ones. Planting material is obtained by cuttings, layering and dividing the bush.
