Areas to the south and southwest of capital buildings are especially good.

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

Gooseberry Shalun is self-fertile. Therefore, it can be cultivated even in isolation from other bushes. Most often, such a variety is planted in the spring, before the buds bloom. At the stage of active cultivation, systematic watering and loosening of the land are very important. Since the gooseberry tolerates even dry periods well, they are usually limited to three waterings during the growing season:

  • when shoots are actively developing;

  • when flowering;

  • when the fruits formed on the branches ripen.

The earliest feeding should anticipate the dissolution of the buds. At this moment, 1 sq. m lay 30 g of carbamide and 15 g of nitrate. Before flowering, wood ash and potassium sulfate are used. During the ripening period of berries, it is necessary to prepare an infusion on potato peel.In mid-October, the soil in the area of ​​the Shalun trunk is mulched, applying per 1 m2:

  • compost (6 kg);

  • superphosphate (15 g);

  • potassium sulfate (25 g).

Immediately after planting, 3 or 4 of the strongest shoots are left on the bushes. They are cut strictly to 4 buds. In the second year of development, you can already leave 7 well-formed shoots. They are pruned at a height of 30 cm above the ground. Other shoots are supposed to be cut at a level of 20 cm.

Slices should be done at an angle of 50 degrees. They retreat upward from the kidneys by at least 5 mm. In the third year of development, they necessarily get rid of the growth that develops in a horizontal direction. Before the onset of winter, it is necessary to clear the area from the litter accumulated on it, and then dig the ground 30 cm deep. The bending of the bushes to the ground is achieved using steel or wooden staples.

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.
