In almost every site, there is probably such a plant called - currant... This berry is varied and many people love to eat it. For many of these summer residents, currants grow by themselves, but if you pay a little attention to it and take care of it, then it can give even more tasty and large fruits. Currant berries are very useful for any person. To achieve good currant fruit, currant transplant is sometimes necessary; then the berry can please you with a good harvest in the future.
Cases when you really need to transplant currants:
The currant bush has been growing for a long time and it is many years old, such a bush must be transplanted for its rejuvenation;
The land on which the currant grows became bad, it had few nutrients and the currant bush in this case began to fade;
You should also transplant the bush of this plant if it grows strongly and interferes with other plants.
These are the most common situations in which it is necessary to transplant a given plant to a new location.
To choose a new place for a currant bush, you need to know that currants like a lot of sunlight and warmth. If you plant a bush in a dark place, then it will not bear fruit well for you.
Having decided on a new place, be sure to dig up the soil in that place, remove unnecessary grass, weeds and roots if they are there.
Transplanting currant: Preparing and planting currant bushes:
At the chosen place for new bushes, you need to dig holes for the bushes about three weeks before planting. Observe the distance between them within one meter. The bottom of the hole must be fertilized with compost or wood ash. If you are preparing a currant bush with red berries for the transplant, then add sand and a layer of rubble to the hole so that there is drainage.
The size of the fossa is usually made 50 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters deep. This is an average value, and so look at the size of your plant, if it is, of course, large in size, then the hole should be larger.
Next, we prepare the bush itself for transplantation, from it we cut off all old branches and young shoots in half. Dig in the bush and take it out, in no case pull it by the shoots, otherwise you can damage the roots of the plant.
If the bush is large in size, then dig it out together with an earthen lump. If you decide to transplant a slightly diseased plant, then carefully examine its roots, dry and damaged roots will need to be removed, and treat the horse system in potassium permanganate if it is attacked by pests.
Before planting a bush in a hole, it is necessary to thoroughly water the hole with water so that a gruel forms in the hole, then put the bush in the hole and bury it with earth 6 centimeters above the root collar of the seedling.
After the bush has been buried, it is necessary to water it with water, this will make the soil around the bush dense.
Remember that after transplanting, currants need to be looked after, watered, sprayed, fertilized and pests should be avoided.
We transplant the currants in the fall.
Many people have a question when it is necessary to transplant currants, in spring or autumn, so that it pleases them with its delicious harvest as fashionably faster.
For people living in the northern regions, it is better to transplant currants in the spring. This is when the snow has already left the ground and the temperature is not below zero.Inspect the plant well before transplanting, since if it has already begun to grow, then it is better to leave it, and transfer it to the old place and transfer it to the autumn time.
If you decide to transplant the bush in the fall, then you must wait until the currants have thrown off all the leaves, and the young shoots will stop the movement of the juice.
The best time for transplanting currants in the fall is October, its middle or end.
In areas where the cold is for a long time, the time for transplanting the plant is shifted by 2-3 weeks, if you transplant it earlier, the plant may weaken. If your autumn is warm and not rainy, then after transplanting it is necessary to water the bush.
In winter, be sure to insulate the transplanted shoots. You can insulate with humus mixed with tree leaves. You will need to pour several buckets of such a mixture onto one bush.
Having done everything in the right order, the currants in a new place will bring you berries in the summer.
Transplanting currants in spring
Usually rooted cuttings are transplanted in the spring. The cuttings that you plant in the fall will grow up in the spring and there will be several branches with leaves and buds in this place.
If the bush was cut a year ago, then there will already be a bush with several young shoots in this place before replanting. Young plants are replanted in the same order as yours described. Only in the summer, be sure to take care of new bushes and water well.
If you transplanted currants in the spring, then such bushes will take root for a long time in a new place and they will bring you fruits only next year.
