How to care for currants - video

White currants are not very popular compared to their “comrades” (red and black). Nevertheless, gardeners appreciate it not only for its excellent taste, but also for its luxurious appearance, thanks to which any garden becomes a source of pride and a source of aesthetic pleasure. Almost all varieties of white currant are resistant to all kinds of unfavorable conditions and diseases, but some can be distinguished especially. Today we will focus on the best varieties of white currant for the Moscow region and the Urals.

The subtleties of choosing white currants

White currants are known to be incredibly healthy berries that do not require much maintenance. But if you want to grow a healthy and fruitful berry crop on your garden plot, you need to know some of the intricacies of choosing the right variety.

Currant for the Moscow region

If we are talking about the Moscow region, then the climate there is moderately continental, with moderately cold winters and relatively warm, often rainy summers. In the north, northwest of the region, soddy-podzolic or partially loamy soils prevail, rather heavy, with excess moisture. Growing berries on such a soil will require a considerable amount of organic fertilizers and frequent soil liming measures.

All varieties of white currant are very productive

In the east of the region, the soils are completely different: they are represented by peat, the groundwater is very close. The soil itself is not very fertile and will require careful maintenance while growing currants.

In the south of the Moscow region, the soil is much better, moreover, it is much warmer there. Most of the soils are sod-podzolic.

Advice. When choosing a variety suitable for growing in the Moscow region, be sure to take into account the peculiarities of the climate and soil in a particular area.

It should be noted that in this region, in principle, almost any varieties of white currants are able to survive, but it is better to give preference to those that can withstand extreme heat and excessive moisture in the soil.

Currant for the Urals

Here, everything is somewhat more complicated, because the Ural region differs significantly in climatic conditions from the Moscow region. In general, the climate of the Urals is considered polar. Accordingly, when choosing a suitable variety of currants, it is necessary to proceed, first of all, from the winter hardiness of the culture, its resistance to diseases and the growth rate. Late varieties or those with a too long collection period will not work.

Advice. Speaking of winter hardiness, this concept should not be confused with frost resistance, which only implies the ability of a plant to tolerate a large minus. But winter hardiness is already a complex concept and implies that the plant will not only be able to maintain its tops when exposed to cold, but also "survive" after significant icing of the root system.

By the way, speaking about the yield of the variety: white currants, regardless of the variety, are distinguished by impressive yield indicators. Therefore, when choosing a suitable variety, you should not be guided by this very criterion. As practice shows, the amount of white berry harvest depends to a greater extent on the quality of crop care in each specific case.

The best varieties of white currant for the Urals and Moscow region

Here is a selection of white currant varieties that are best suited for growing in the Moscow region:

• Boulogne White. Widespread in the southern suburbs of Moscow "French" variety. Currant berries are small in size, which is more than offset by the original dessert taste.

Boulogne White

• Dessert.An excellent early maturing variety of white currant, bred by German breeders. The fruits are round, yellow in color and large in size (berry weight is about 1-1.5 g). The plant is a semi-sprawling small bush, from which, with proper care, about 5 kg of fruit can be harvested. The taste of the fruit is excellent dessert, with a piquant sourness.
• White Fairy (Diamond). An early ripe variety, generous for the harvest (up to 6 kg of delicious berries can be harvested from a bush). The bush grows rather compact and very branchy. The berries are white in color and large in size (the weight of individual specimens reaches 3 g).
• Bayan. The plant is represented by magnificent tall bushes that carry up to 10 kg of small berries, which have a sweet taste with a special sourness. This variety is able to "survive" in almost any climate. Housewives are very fond of using this variety for making all kinds of jellies, since Bayan berries become jelly-like during processing (thanks to pectins).

But for the Ural region, it is worth looking at completely different, but no less high-quality varieties:

• Ural White. The variety, with proper care, will delight you with a considerable harvest (about 5.5 kg per currant bush). The berries are large and taste great. Gardeners note the incredible resistance of the variety to all kinds of diseases, as well as cold. Among the features of care, it is worth noting the need for frequent and generous watering, otherwise the berry will gradually become smaller.

Ural White

• Versailles. In fact, it is a "pioneer" among varieties of white currant. Discovered back in the 19th century. Bushes grow very compact, low in height. Versailles currants can produce no more than 3 kg of berries from one bush, but they are incredibly tasty. In addition, the berries contain a colossal amount of vitamin C - about 60 mg per 100 g.
• Smolyaninovskaya. Mid-season variety. The bushes of the plant grow vigorous, branchy. With proper care, currants can give a record 8-9 kg of fruit from one bush. The berries are not uniform in size, but have the same sweet and sour taste, which during the tasting process received the highest possible score - 5 points. The variety is perfect for the cold Ural climate, it is also very resistant to all kinds of diseases.
