Black currant is a popular shrub that has a pleasant sweet and sour taste and is rich in nutrients. Among the variety of popular berry varieties, Sevchanka stands out. It is worth taking a closer look at the features of the plant.

Breeding history

Sevchanka appeared thanks to the work of a team of breeders from the All-Russian Research Institute of Lupine by crossing two varieties: the Seedling of the Golubki and the Hybrid form 32-77. In 1994, the bush was included in the State Register.

Description of the variety

The roots of the currant are superficial, the maximum depth of occurrence is 45 cm. Slightly spreading bushes of Sevchanka give erect shoots of medium thickness and do not require pruning efforts. Leaves are dark green, characteristic features:

  • three-bladed;

  • tough;

  • leathery;

  • wrinkled.

Each leaf has a convex plate; the stalk is colored closer to the base. During the flowering period, from 8 to 14 large flowers with yellowish petals bloom on one brush.

Characteristics of berries

With proper care, currant bushes give a generous harvest, the weight of one berry reaches 2.5-3 g. The fruit contains:

  • sugar;

  • acids;

  • soluble solids;

  • pectin;

  • vitamins C, P;

  • anthocyanins and leukoanthocyanins;

  • polyphenols.

The berries can be eaten raw or used for homemade preparations.

Taste qualities

Sevchanka currant fruits have a sweet and sour taste. The tasting score of the berries is 4.6 points, which is considered a fairly high indicator.

Ripening and fruiting

The first berries appear in the second half of June - early July. It is better to remove the fruit with the stalk.

Fruiting of currants depends on the variety, on the region in which it grows, what kind of care it is, whether all agrotechnical measures are followed. In black currant, flower buds form on branches that are one year old. So the first small crop can be harvested the next year after planting the plant. Full fruiting begins from the third year of the shrub's life.

Yield

From one currant bush, it will be possible to collect up to 2 kg, with careful plant care - up to 2.2 kg. The average yield is 1.6 kg.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The variety is self-fertile, therefore it does not require mandatory pollination.

Landing

Black currant grows well in well-lit areas, loves fertile soil. It is better to plant bushes on flat or with a slight slope, where the shadow of the trees does not reach. An excellent option for planting is the south or southwest side.

It is recommended to plant Sevchanka in the first months of spring before the buds swell. You can also plant currants in the fall - in early or mid September. The second option is more preferable, since the plant will have time to grow stronger by winter, and transfer frost for future flowering and fruiting.

Soil requirements:

  • slightly acidic or neutral soil with a pH of 5 to 5.5;

  • loam;

  • the depth of the groundwater is not higher than 1 m.

It is not recommended to plant currants in sandy or clayey soils. And also you should not choose pits or lowlands for planting, which are characterized by stagnant water. Before planting currants in the soil, it is necessary to apply fertilizers so that the plant quickly takes root and gives a high yield in the future. If you plan to plant a bush in the spring, then from the fall, up to 10 kg of humus, 1 liter of wood ash and superphosphate in an amount of 100 g per 1 m2 are introduced into the prepared holes. The total fertilizer layer thickness should be 2/3 of the hole.

Saplings are planted according to the following scheme.

  1. Holes are dug in the ground.

  2. After fertilization and the expiration of the required period, 4-5 liters of water are poured into each.

  3. Saplings are planted at an angle of 45 degrees, burying the buds 3-4 into the ground.

  4. The roots are carefully straightened.

  5. Sprinkle the plant with earth, carefully ramming it.

  6. Another 4-5 liters of water is poured in.

In order for the plant to absorb enough moisture, the soil should be mulched using peat or compost. After planting, it is recommended to lightly prune the shoots so that 3-4 buds remain above the ground.

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

Sevchanka does not require special care. Basic recommendations.

  1. Rare and abundant watering without moisture stagnation, which can be detrimental to the plant. It is imperative to water the bush in the spring during the growing season, as well as during flowering and the formation of the first ovaries. In addition, gardeners are advised to add water during the formation of berries and harvesting in order to strengthen the plant's immunity before frost.

  2. Digging grooves up to 30 cm deep at a distance of 25 cm from the tops. During irrigation, water must be poured into the ditches. To keep the soil around the bush moist, it is additionally worth mulching the trunks.

  3. Loosening the soil. The procedure will provide the plant with the necessary amount of oxygen and nutrients.

  4. Fertilization. When Sevchanka reaches the age of three, fertilization of the bush becomes mandatory. Better to use nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. It is especially important to fertilize the bush during the flowering and berry period.

Following the advice of experienced gardeners will help to achieve a high yield.

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.

Disease and pest resistance

The bush is resistant to powdery mildew, fungus and scab. However, as the currants grow, it is recommended to carry out preventive treatment.

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.

If there is a need to increase the size of the planting 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.
