Full fruiting begins from the third year of the shrub's life.

Landing

For the landing of Krasnaya Andreichenko, you should choose a place open to the sun, at the same time protected from strong and cold winds. The soil is suitable light - loamy or sandy loam, slightly acidic. Currants love moisture, therefore, a close location of groundwater is possible.

The size of the planting hole will depend on the age of the seedling. Most often, a hole is prepared with dimensions of 50x50 centimeters so that the roots are spacious. It is better to plant a crop in early autumn. When planting several seedlings, the optimal distance between the bushes will be 1.5-2 m.

Not a single garden plot can do without currants. This fragrant and healthy berry is very popular. When planting currants, you need to take into account many factors and nuances. It is necessary to choose the right planting material, determine the location, and competently prepare the soil.

Growing and care

Caring for Krasnaya Andreichenko is not very difficult. It includes standard activities:

  • regular watering (about once every 7 days);
  • loosening the soil;
  • fertilization (2 times a year).

With a lack of moisture, the berries will not be poured in full and may even decrease in size.

In early spring, when the snow melts, they bring mineral and organic fertilizing under the bushes. In the fall, one organic matter is left.

At one time, the culture was loved for its endurance in relation to winter frosts. And indeed, the variety is not afraid of low temperatures. However, experienced gardeners still advise placing a layer of organic matter around the trunk to warm the root system.

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.
Competent preparation of currants for winter is the key to a good harvest for next year. Autumn care for currants and preparation for cold weather includes the following stages: pruning, watering, feeding, treatment from diseases and pests, shelter.
In the process of growing currants, timely feeding is an important part of care. Organic and mineral elements are necessary not only for the harmonious growth of the bush, but also for the formation of the crop. During the entire growing season, the plant needs different substances, which is important to consider when choosing a fertilizer.

Currant is one of the most favorite crops of gardeners, it can be found on almost any personal plot. In order for the currant berries to be tasty and large, and the bush itself to be healthy and strong, you should properly care for, treat and protect the plant from harmful insects. It is important to recognize the signs of the disease in a timely manner and begin treatment in the early stages of plant damage.

Resistance to adverse climatic conditions

Due to the fact that the variety was specially developed for areas with risky farming, areas where winters are warm are completely unsuitable for Krasnaya Andreichenko. The culture doesn't like heat or drought. Currants will feel best in areas with a harsh climate.High winter hardiness is genetically inherent, the plant is characterized by deep organic dormancy, and the rudiments of flowers do not suffer at all from temperature extremes in winter.

If there is a need to increase the size of the plantings of currants or to rejuvenate the shrub, then you can propagate the currants yourself. You can propagate currants in different ways: green cuttings, lignified cuttings and layering. Each of the procedures is a vegetative propagation of currants and allows you to get full-fledged seedlings without much effort.
