Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

Landing

Autumn planting for this variety is best suited. Such a moment is especially important for regions where it is warm for a long time in autumn.The spring planting must be completed before the juices begin to move and the buds swell. Openwork currant does not like lowlands. It is important to make sure that the soil is fertile, has a neutral or slightly acidic reaction.

Water the currants systematically and with plenty of water. Having irrigated it, the soil is loosened. You can loosen the soil even through mulch. When spring comes, the bushes are fed with complex fertilizers based on nitrogen. If a large number of ovaries are formed, and the branches begin to bend under the weight of the berries, you will have to put up supports.

The most important step in caring for currants is the correct moisture of the crop throughout the growing season. Due to errors in watering, you can lose most of the crop and get small and tasteless berries.
Pruning is an indispensable element of caring for any fruit shrubs, including currants. If you carry out this agrotechnical procedure at the optimal time and do it correctly and regularly, the result will not slow down to affect the quality and quantity of berries grown.
