Black currant in the photo is a clear goal to achieve
The black currant in the photo looks incredibly appetizing, unfortunately, often in real life our currant does not look like that, the berries are small, sometimes they are amazed by something, the taste is completely different from what we expected.
Like any other plant, black currant "wants" to be properly cared for and quite demanding. So that your currant is the same as the black currant in the photo, you need to work hard on your land plot.
Why do we need black currant? Black currant is rich in various trace elements, vitamins, organic acids, pectins, which makes it very useful for the human body. Black currant is a natural unique and powerful adsorbent and all thanks to its organic dyes that are not absorbed or decomposed in our body and passing through our digestive tract, these dyes absorb heavy metals, radionuclides and other substances from food and remove them from our body. Black currant lowers blood pressure, increases appetite, stimulates cardiac activity, and also has anti-arteriosclerotic, anti-inflammatory, tonic, analgesic and other effects.
The black currant bush lives for about twenty years, it must be regularly cut off, removing all old, diseased, undeveloped branches, one bush during the flowering period should have no more than fifteen healthy stems. Black currant begins to bloom very early, which can cause difficulties with pollination, the weather does not favor insects for the summer, therefore self-pollinating varieties are preferable.
Black currant perfectly tolerates cold, but does not tolerate drought, it is very demanding on moisture, both in the soil in which it grows and in the surrounding air. Prefers nutritious loose soil and grows well where there is partial shade. It is necessary to regularly remove weeds, weed the soil and be sure to feed the plant: in the fall, add potassium chloride and superphosphate, and fertilize with nitrogen fertilizers in the spring.
In late autumn and early spring, spraying with copper sulfate or Bordeaux liquid will not hurt to prevent diseases and damage to the bush by pests.
