Then the culture is fed according to the standard schedule.

Water the Delicacy currant 2-3 times every 7 days. Each adult bush has a bucket of water 2 times a day (morning and evening). It is especially important to water the crop well at the fruiting stage, that is, in July-August. At the same time, the laying of flower buds is already underway, which will form the next year's harvest. Therefore, a lack of moisture during such a period will affect the harvest of both the current season and the future.

Currant Delicacy is a winter-hardy culture. However, it is important to protect the plant from severe frosts. Therefore, experts recommend mulching the trunk circle with horse manure.

During the entire growing season, the plant needs different substances, which is important to consider when choosing a fertilizer.
