At present, it is difficult to find a summer cottage where currants do not grow. The white, red and black beauty managed to win the love of gardeners not only due to its pleasant taste, but also a number of useful properties.

However, in order to get a generous harvest, the bushes need both proper care and timely reproduction of their favorite varieties. When should the currants be transplanted: in the fall or in the spring? In this article, we will take a closer look at all the advantages and disadvantages of transplanting shrubs at one time or another of the year.

Consider some of the reasons for transplanting a shrub to a new location:

1. For reproduction of a favorite variety.
2. For some plant diseases, if they cannot be overcome in the old place.
3. If overgrown bushes interfere with the normal development of each other.
4. When the groundwater level rises.
5. With the resulting shading as a result of an increase in the crown of a nearby tree, a constructed object or overgrown grapes.
6. For the planned renewal of shrubs at a certain age.
7. Transfer from depleted soil to fertile one.

Despite this, it should be remembered that even the most successful transplantation of adult shrubs to another place is a huge stress for the plant, accompanied by soreness, therefore, it often leads to death. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the procedure taking into account the annual cycle of the currant and its biological characteristics.

What is the best transplant season?

Most gardeners cannot find an answer to the question: in which month is it better to transplant currants to get a full harvest as early as possible?

There is simply no categorical answer to it; in each individual case, both spring and autumn transplants can be predominant. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the main thing - the condition of the bush. So, it should be in a "dormant" state: either in the fall after the leaves have fallen, or in the spring before the formation of buds and the beginning of growth.

In addition, it is necessary to choose a suitable season for transplanting currants, taking into account the area where it grows. For example, in the northern regions of the country, it is advisable to transplant currants in the spring after the snow melts and the temperature is above zero.

If the bushes have time to start growing, the transplant will have to be postponed until autumn. However, an autumn transplant also requires patience, since the shrub must completely shed its leaves, and sap flow must stop in the shoots.

Transplanting currants in the fall

When can you transplant currants to another place? For the middle zone of our country, the ideal time for transplanting is the period from September 10 to 15, since it is then that the most active root growth is noted, and this significantly increases the chances of currant survival.

In the northern regions, the dates can be shifted by 2-3 weeks. So, if you transplant a shrub too early, it can "confuse" the season and throw out the buds, which will freeze in winter, go into growth, thereby weakening the bush.

In dry and warm autumn, transplanted shrubs require regular and abundant watering.

Also, remember that winter shelter is a must. To do this, you can pour 2-3 buckets of humus, previously mixed with tree leaves, into the base of the bush. By spring, a fertile soil layer is formed around the shrub, in which it will be possible to build a special irrigation bowl.

It should be recognized that there are much more favorable factors in the autumn transplantation of currant bushes.

First of all, it is a stable temperature right up to the first frost, due to which the roots of the plant have time to adapt to a new place. Moreover, in the fall, a descending current prevails in the cells of the currant, at this time there are more nutrients in it, contributing to the speedy healing of various root wounds and giving strength for recovery.

Transplant in spring

Is it possible to transplant currants in the spring? Yes, but still at this time of the year it is better to replant the rooted cuttings, transferring them from a special trench to a further permanent place.

How to transplant currants in the spring? If the cuttings are planted in the fall, then in the spring they will turn into twigs with several leaves. If the shrub was grafted last spring, that is, a year ago, then at the time of transplantation, full-fledged bushes with 2-3 shoots should form.

These young bushes are quite easy to replant according to the rules described below. It should be remembered that transplanted bushes in the spring require abundant watering and constant care throughout the summer.

When to transplant currants in the spring? Transplanting currants to a new place in the spring should be carried out as early as possible - in March, immediately after the ground has thawed. Currant bushes, which were transplanted in spring, take a relatively long time to take root, therefore they give a crop only after a year.

In case of urgent need, you can transplant currants in the summer. However, in order to reduce stress and trauma to the plant, it must be dug up with a large clod of soil on the roots, which must remain there until further planting.

Choosing the perfect location

Transplanting currants is a short process, although it can take a lot of time to find a suitable place. However, it is worth it, since the basis for a successful shrub transplant is precisely the correct choice of location, as well as the preparation of the bush and soil itself.

Let's look at the main points of choosing the ideal place for transplanting currants:

1. The soil should be moderately moist. If the root system of the bush is constantly in a humid place, then, of course, it will quickly rot.
2. Avoid shady areas. Since the currant loves the sun, the lack of sunlight can affect the amount of the crop, and the bush will often suffer from all kinds of diseases and pests.
3. It is recommended to transplant currant bushes into sandy soil. Thanks to this, the bush will develop quickly and will delight you with a rich harvest. To do this, dig a small hole, pour 15 cm of sand and 5 cm of rubble into it.
4. Do not plant anything next to currants. The fact is that the foliage of the shrub is very susceptible to various fungal diseases that are transmitted from other crops.

After choosing a suitable place, you must first prepare the soil. If possible, this should be done 2-3 weeks before the planned planting date.

Stages of the correct shrub transplant

When transplanting, make sure that the root collar is 5 cm above the surface of the substrate.

How to transplant a currant bush?

Let's consider how to fully prepare a new place:

1. Dig up and clear the soil of weeds and grass roots. Level the topsoil well.
2. Dig holes in the selected area at a distance of 1 meter from each other. The size of the holes should be about 30-40 cm deep and 50-60 cm wide, but still it is better to focus on the size of the roots of currant bushes.
3. Fill about 2/3 of the hole with soil, premixed with humus and compost. Of the fertilizers, potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen are more suitable for currants in the following dosage: potassium sulfate 30 g, wood ash 400 g, superphosphate 300 g - for black currants, and for white or red - 200 g.
4. Cut the young shoots on the bush to be transplanted in half and cut off the old branches. Dig in the bush and carefully remove it from the hole. In this case, in no case pull the plant by the shoots - this way you risk damaging the branches or roots.
5. Pour 1-2 buckets of water into the prepared hole just before planting.
6. Lower the bush into the slush and carefully cover it with a dug layer of earth about 5-7 cm above the root collar.
7. Re-pour 1-2 buckets of water.

A good survival rate of the planted bushes is achieved by regular watering, this is especially important in the first fifteen days after planting. Water the seedlings every other day, so that the moisture reaches at least 60 cm in depth.

To do this, you will need up to 4 buckets of water, while you do not need to rush, but gradually pour water from the bucket under the bush.

In the future, the soil should be cultivated to improve its fertile qualities. To do this, it is necessary to prune the weeds with a sharp bayonet tool at a depth of up to 3 cm. These simple measures will have a depressing effect on the root system of the grass, but the dried and rotted upper part of it will additionally nourish the soil and will also act as mulch.

This procedure is practically mandatory. If it is not produced, then the leaves on the currant bush begin to turn yellow and quickly fall off, since they lack nutrients. In addition, the berries become small, their taste deteriorates, new shoots do not appear, which also leads to a decrease in yield. Transplanting currants can be done in spring or autumn. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, but most gardeners are convinced that replanting the plant should be carried out in the spring. At this time, the likelihood of damage to the bush is less, and if all recommendations and rules are followed, it remains possible to get a crop in the current year.

Reasons for transplanting currants

Transplanting currants in the spring to a new place is usually done in the following situations:

• The need to propagate a favorite black or red berry variety. To do this, you can bend the branch to the ground, wait for it to take root, and then cut off the branch from the main bush, dig it up and plant it in a new place. The second way is to separate part of the growing bush and plant it in another area. As a result of such manipulations, instead of one bush of berries, the gardener will have two that will bear fruit equally;
• Separation of diseased plants from healthy ones. If one of the bushes gets sick, and its treatment with chemical and organic means did not work, it is recommended to plant it so that it does not infect a healthy berry. For this, the plant is also dug up and transplanted into a new territory;
• Excessive development of culture (bushes interfere with the normal growth of each other). This situation leads to a decrease in yield, since the branches of the plants block the light to each other, a shortage of necessary substances may arise in the soil, and so on. The solution is also to transplant currants;
• Changing the layout of the site. For this reason, a decision is also made quite often to transfer currants. In addition, it is recommended not to violate the rules of crop rotation and periodically change plantings and plants in places so as not to impoverish the soil (the process of soil restoration is very laborious and expensive).

Currant bush

Important! The transplantation procedure is stressful for the culture, therefore, it must be carried out as correctly as possible, following all the recommendations, the most important of which is the absence of damage to the root system during the transfer (damage to the main root can even lead to the death of the plant).

Features of transplanting in spring

Many gardeners and gardeners are interested in the question: when can currants be transplanted to another place. It is recommended to carry out this procedure in the spring or autumn period. The main thing to pay attention to when transplanting a crop is the state of the plant itself. If you transplant currants in the fall, then the optimal period for this is October or November, when the foliage will completely fall off so that the plant does not need to spend energy on providing it with nutrients.

In the spring, the deadline for transplanting is May, while the buds have not yet swollen, for the same reasons (so that the plant spends energy only on the development of the root system, and not on ensuring the growth of foliage and ripening of currants).

We transplant in the spring

Most experienced gardeners prefer to transplant currants in the spring, because at this time the plant is not so stressed (the movement of juices along the branches has not yet begun, which means that the likelihood that the culture will take root is higher). Before the spring transplant, you should look at the temperature of the earth. As soon as it reaches 5 degrees above zero, work can be done.

Note! In the spring, it is recommended to replant only those bushes that were obtained from the layers of the last year (they began and gave roots in the ground). You can also plant shoots dug up in the fall and stored in a cellar or greenhouse.

To increase the survival rate of the bushes, you should not shake off the soil from the roots of the plant. In addition, after planting, mulching the holes with sawdust or grass and feeding the bushes with fertilizers containing potassium will be useful. The addition of humus and other similar organic substances to the soil during transplantation increases the survival rate. Correct watering is carried out with water with a temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius, otherwise the roots may freeze and the plant will not take root. Therefore, for irrigation, it is recommended to stand the water in separate containers in the sun.

Preparing a new site

After deciding when to transplant currants, you should prepare a place for planting it. First, you need to choose the right site. It should have good sunshine and be spacious enough to give the shrub room to develop. Before transplanting, a pit is prepared so deep that the root system is spacious. The soil should be pre-loosened to ensure free access of air and moisture to the roots. Fertilizers must be placed in the pit, then water is poured so that planting is carried out in moist soil.

Preparing the soil in two weeks

Soil preparation begins two weeks before planting. It must be cleaned of the roots of other plants. The optimal hole size is considered to be a square with sides of 40 centimeters (these parameters are suitable for young shrubs). If the bush is old, then the size of the hole should be determined based on the size of its root system. Typically, it is placed 30 to 50 centimeters deep. When planting several shrubs, you can make a trench, while the distance between the bushes should be about 1.5 meters.

Additional Information. For heavy soil, the hole should be prepared differently. It is necessary to arrange drainage, which consists of sand, gravel and plant cuttings. The pit is 2/3 filled with soil, then humus with compost is added to it.

Nitrogen, potash and phosphorus fertilizers contribute to survival and a good harvest. When transplanting currants to areas with acidic soils, it is recommended to add chalk, dolomite or ash to the soil.

An important element of the work is digging out the bush. It needs to be dug around the main branch. The shovel should be stuck to a depth of no more than 50 centimeters, so as not to damage the root system. When removing a plant from a hole, it is recommended to pull it near the root. If you hold onto the top, it can break off and damage the plant. After that, the shrub is transferred to a new site and placed in a prepared hole. Before planting, it is recommended to treat the roots with a chemical composition against pests and diseases.

FAQ

There are many nuances about how to transplant currants to a new place in the spring. Gardeners are most often interested in the following features of this process:

• Is it possible to transplant three - and five-year-old bushes? This can be done, it is only necessary to follow the procedure and certain recommendations. Firstly, the shrub is well dug in so as not to disturb the roots, and then, together with the soil, is transferred to a new place. Such bushes should be deepened as much as possible into the hole, and the upper part should be trimmed. Good watering after transplanting is critical for the survival of such plants;
• Is it possible to plant young plants where there were old bushes? This is not recommended, since there is a possibility of contamination of seedlings with diseases and depletion of the land;
• What plants are the best neighbors for currants? The best choice for planting next to a berry would be onion or garlic, which will protect it from attacks of pests and diseases. It is not recommended to plant currants next to fruit trees, as it may be in the shade, which will significantly reduce the yield;
• Is hilling necessary when transplanting a shrub in the fall? The procedure can be carried out for insulation. However, in the spring, it is better to make the hole even in order to allow the lateral shoots to develop and to avoid frost damage to the plant next winter;
• Is it necessary to cut the ground part of the transplanted bush? It is possible to carry out this procedure, but it will significantly increase the survival time.

Major mistakes

The most common mistake is to plant the shrubbery at the same depth as in the old location. To improve survival, it is recommended to place it in a hole 5-7 centimeters deeper than the previous one.

In some cases, the transplanted shrub is not watered enough. After transplanting, watering should be very abundant. Only in this case, you can get a high-quality crop of currants in the future.

Note. However, watering should not be carried away. Watering the plant can cause it to rot. Excessive feeding should not be carried out, since all the excess fertilizers will be contained in the berries, and instead of vitamins, you can actually get poison.

So, the question of how to transplant currants is rather complicated. First, it is necessary to choose the right time for the procedure (in no case should it be carried out in the summer, when the berries are ripening and the foliage is green). Secondly, it is necessary to decide what method of transplantation will be used: it is necessary to prepare shoots, graft cuttings or transfer an existing bush. All actions must be carried out as carefully as possible: one wrong movement, and the root system will be damaged. As a result, the plant may even die. It should also be noted that the transplanting process is exactly the same for both red and black currants.

Currants have long taken root in personal plots and dachas. In winter, when we open compote, its aroma reminds us of a warm summer. It is found in many recipes. Mom's pies stuffed with currants, jam, a favorite delicacy in the cold season. In order to get a stable harvest every year, you need to take care of the shrub. An important stage of care is the transplanting of currants to a new place in the fall.

A feature of the shrub is that it ages quickly enough. After five six years it needs updating. In addition, the currant grows rapidly. This leads to the fact that it becomes little space, or the shrub begins to interfere with neighboring plants. They change the landing site and in the event that the plant does not have enough nutrients, the soil is depleted.

It takes root quickly and well in a new place, if you provide it with good conditions. The bush gives the greatest yield for 3, 4 years. The bush develops well when transplanted in different ways.

Before transplanting black currants in the fall to a new comfortable place, you need to decide what conditions the plant needs to create.

Conditions for good growth:

1. It is necessary to choose a place where there is a lot of light, since this is a light-loving plant.
2. Soils should not be acidic. If there is such a soil on the site, then peat, ash, a little sand, eggshells, humus, lime, dolomite flour are added. You can just add chalk. Gradually, it will dissolve and soil deoxidation will occur.
3. The shrub is hygrophilous, needs systematic, good watering. At the same time, he does not like when underground waters come too close to the roots.

These are the basic conditions for good growth and development of the bush. But, and, of course, additional feeding is necessary. Organic fertilizers, as well as potassium-phosphate fertilizers, are well absorbed. They must be brought in in the fall. Potash fertilizers, along with ammonium nitrate, are fed in spring and summer.

Reproduction and transplantation methods

There are many videos about transplanting currants to a new place in the fall. From them, you can clearly glean a lot of information on this topic (see above).

• cuttings, autumn and summer;
• vegetatively, layering;
• dividing the bush;
• rejuvenating the bush and transplanting it to a new place.

Under good conditions and proper care, the plant takes root within three weeks. Transplanting currants in the fall to a new place, its timing depends on the region.

Vegetative propagation of the bush

To do this, choose a strong healthy branch of the bush. She is bent to the ground. Fix with a metal hook and drop in. It is fashionable to do it in early spring or autumn, in August, September, early October.

It is instilled in after the kidneys become dormant, about a month before the first frosts should begin. Transplanting currants in the fall to a new place in the Moscow region takes place later than in the northern regions (end of September).

During the first three weeks, the cuttings form a root and take root. The next year, he releases the first twigs. In the fall, this will already be a formed bush. It is cut off from the mother bush, carefully dug up and planted in pre-prepared holes.

Dividing the bush

From a large overgrown bush, you can separate the cuttings from the root and plant it. Transplanting currants in the fall to a new place in Siberia occurs in August, early September. To do this, dig in a bush around the perimeter, so as not to damage the root system. After that, the bush is carefully removed. Shake off the ground.

Choose a strong root cut and separate it from the mother bush. Then it is planted. Under the old bush, you need to add organic and mineral fertilizers by mixing with the ground. This division rejuvenates the old shrub, makes it possible to propagate the shrub on the site.

Rejuvenating the bush and replanting to a new place

A bush over 6, 7 years old can be rejuvenated and transplanted to a new place. Transplanting currants in the fall to a new place in the Urals takes place in September.

To do this, dug out his bush, trying as carefully as possible so that the roots are preserved. Cleans them of clods of earth. They make a revision of the root system, clean them from insects.

Cut out the rotten and missing with pruning shears, you can separate this part with the processes and discard. Strongly long roots are pruned. Then they are planted in a new place.

Old branches are cut, the rest are shortened, leaving up to 4 buds.

Currant cuttings

Transplanting currants in the fall to a new place by cuttings is one of the most common. Autumn shoots can give the first berries as early as next year, if they are well rooted and survived the winter. But grafting and planting can be done in spring and even summer (green grafting).

The plant is cut in the fall, when the plant has thrown off the foliage. For these purposes, the middle of annual shoots, which began to grow stiff, are suitable. They choose strong shoots, thin and weak ones may not take root.

The top is cut with a straight cut, 5, 6 buds are counted and an oblique cut is made one centimeter below the latter. Red currants are planted earlier (in August), and black currants later (September).

It is calculated, depending on the region, so that about a month remains before frost. The length of the appendix is ​​up to 20 centimeters. Cut only when the weather is dry.

For a nursery, it is better to make markings, pull on a rope or cord. Choose a bright place, the distance between seedlings is up to 15 centimeters. The lower end of the twig can be soaked in plant growth stimulants.

A hole is dug to a depth of approximately 25 centimeters. Peat, ash, humus are brought there. Sprinkle with earth so that the roots do not bake.

You can add some complex mineral fertilizers. Pour in water. It is deepened into several buds (2, 3) and planted, bending the cutting (at an angle of 45 degrees). This is done with the aim that more shoots start in this position. They cover it with earth and again fill it with water. Further, during the month, they are actively watered. Already in the spring, the bush can be transferred to a permanent place.

How is the soil prepared for planting currant bushes?

Plant development and harvest depends largely on proper planting. There are several methods of disembarkation: regular disembarkation and a warm bed.

Regular fit

Digs half a meter deep and slightly wider. It is advisable to prepare it in two or three weeks, if you add compost and organic matter so that they burn out. When planted right away, don't overdo it with organic fertilizers.

Introduce in equal proportions, peat, ash, organic matter, mix. Then a bucket of water is poured out. When it is absorbed a little. Sprinkle the layer with earth, and fill it with water again. We lower the bush into the liquid earthy gruel. A good stimulator for growth and fruiting will be the introduction of humic products. In addition to useful ingredients, the plant needs humic acids, which are abundant in the soil, but most of them are in a bound state and cannot be absorbed.

Then the rest of the earth is poured into the hole. Slightly trample and pour out a bucket of water. From above we mulch the soil with sawdust or other mulch.

Planting according to the principle of a warm bed

The hole is dug 40 centimeters deeper than described. All kinds of wood firewood, branches, bark are placed on the bottom. Preferably dry and slightly rotten. They are sprinkled with earth and spilled with water. Then the same ingredients are added as for a regular planting. Pour the bucket of water again, plant the bush and cover it with earth. We mulch on top. This method provides good drainage and additional nutrition to the plant.

To insure against frost, after three weeks, when the plant has taken root, it is better to sprinkle it with earth.

Container bushes and varieties for different regions

In the event that you want to expand the varietal variety of currants on the site, it is better to purchase a container plant. It can be planted throughout the growing season. Just remove it from the container with a clod of earth and drop it off. The landing hole is prepared as described above.

Depending on the region, weather conditions, you can choose varieties that are optimal for growing. There are varieties of early ripening, medium and late. Such varieties as Yadrenaya, Bagheera have shown their productivity and unpretentiousness, therefore they are popular with gardeners.

For the northern regions, early or medium varieties can be purchased. Among them, such as Dikovinka, Selechinskaya early, domestic selection. Openwork, Delicatessen belong to average varieties, are distinguished by good yield and taste.

How to properly care for a transplanted plant?

A currant transplanted in the fall will give good shoots in the spring. Proper care is the key to good development and fruiting.

In the spring, when the plant wakes up, potassium phosphate supplements are added. But you need to do it right, pour them not under the root, but a little further (by 30-40 cm). First, the earth is loosened around the bush, then we add mulch. Having made a small indentation, we fill in the fertilizer.

Diluted organic matter, on the contrary, is applied directly under the root.

Since currants are moisture-loving during the growth period and in the fall, after harvest, they are well watered, at least once every five days. When the berries begin to ripen, the amount of watering is reduced. Berries can burst from excess moisture.

Annual pruning also plays an important role in the formation of the bush. Old shoots are removed, 5 to 7 annual woody shoots are left, which are cut off in the fall.

Autumn transplantation of currants to a new place, according to the observations of gardeners, is the most correct. The plant has time to take root and give good shoots in spring.

One of the most common garden shrubs is currant. This culture is quite unpretentious, tolerates drought well and at the same time is frost-resistant. Thanks to breeding work, a huge number of varieties have been bred, taking into account different climatic zones, which makes it possible to grow currants both near the Caspian Sea and in Siberia.

After the roots of the transplanted bush are covered with fertilized soil, you need to water the plant abundantly (about 5 liters per bush) and after that fill the hole to the top. From the ground, you need to form a side around the bush and water it again.

For mulching currants, they take humus or compost, but if they are not there, you can simply sprinkle it with dry soil. The layer of mulch is about 10 cm. If there is no rain, after 3 days the transplanted bushes are watered.

In the northern regions, the roots need to be well covered for the winter, especially if the forecasts promise little snow. For this, wood mulch and other natural shelters are suitable with a guarantee that they are free of harmful microorganisms and pests.

Correct transplant of black currant in the fall: video

Correctly carried out autumn transplantation is a very useful event, because after it the currants rejuvenate, the plant has more space and it feeds better on new soil rich in nutrients. Transplanted bushes bear better fruit and are more resistant to diseases and pests.

Grow currants

Choosing a place

Caring for green cuttings is somewhat different from caring for cuttings that are already lignified. For full survival, they must be sprayed four to five times daily. This regime is maintained for two to three weeks.

Preparing holes for landing

The holes in the film are cut with scissors over the cuttings of the planted currants. The film will protect the soil from drying out and accelerate the growth of young shoots on currants.

When cutting currant cuttings, a cut in the upper part of the cutting is made on the bud with a sharp pruner, stepping back 1 cm from it. At the bottom of the cutting, the cut is made oblique under the lower bud. Young roots will form between the nodes and under the kidneys.

Growth features

Dry earth and peat chips are poured on top as mulch.

Watering

Post-transplant care

Choose areas with light loamy soils, sandy loam soil can be diluted with clay, and sand can be added to clayey;

Autumn gooseberry transplant: optimal timing and transplant technology

Therefore, it becomes clear that any amateur gardener wants to have several bushes of this wonderful berry bush in his garden. It is good if such currant bushes are already on the site, bear fruit well, and are planted in a good and sunny place. And if suddenly there is an urgent need to transplant a black currant bush, then what to do? How to carry out all the manipulations correctly so that the bush takes root and begins to bear fruit? So let's talk today about the correct transplant of black currant bushes.

Choosing a suitable place for a gooseberry transplant

With a task:

Also, gardeners recommend planting different varieties of currants in the same area. It is known that the shrub self-pollinates, and cross-self-pollination contributes to the creation of a bountiful harvest and large fruits. Before planting shrubs, you should "feed the soil". For this, 4 kg of humus, 20-30 g of potassium sulfate, 100-150 g of superphosphate are used for each square meter. But instead of humus, peat additives can be used, they are combined with bone meal and added to the soil at 100 grams per square meter. Green cuttings will take root in two to three weeks. After this period, you can reduce the number of waterings and start feeding with nitrogen fertilizers. After a month, the film over the cuttings can be removed for several hours a day, increasing this time every day. When you see that the leaves on the cuttings remain green and elastic, then the film can be completely removed.

If you are late with the propagation of currants by cuttings in the spring, then propagation of black currants with green cuttings is an acceptable option. We have already considered a similar option in the article "How to grow a rose from a cutting" http://usadba100sotok.ru/garden/flowers/kak-vyrastit-rozu-iz-cherenka.html. These recommendations can be used for currants as well.

• Such trenches are prepared in the fall so that in early spring they have time to plant currant cuttings in wet soil. In this case, excess moisture will accelerate the formation of young roots.
• A gooseberry transplant in the fall can be used not only to free up an area for a lawn or to transfer a bush to a more comfortable place. This information will also be useful to those who are interested in how to plant gooseberries in order to reproduce them. Autumn transplantation provides excellent survival rate of shrubs, so you can safely propagate gooseberries not only by layering, but also by dividing the bush.
• The cut gooseberry is dug in on all sides at a distance of at least 30 cm from the base of the bush, all thick roots are chopped off with an ax;
• After raspberries and currants, it is better not to plant gooseberries, since after them the soil is depleted, and the pests of these crops are common - they will gladly pounce on weakened gooseberry bushes;
• We dig up the site for transplanting and begin to prepare it. Preparation consists in adding humus, superphosphates and wood ash. The first ingredient will gradually decompose and improve the properties of the soil, the second two will give a good start.

Many summer residents begin to relocate plants before the cold weather. This applies to both bushes and fruit trees. Below we will touch on the question of how to properly transplant currants in the fall, and we will consider this process in stages.

There is an opinion that black currants can be transplanted either in late autumn, when the plant has already finished bearing fruit and has managed to shed its foliage, or in early spring, while sap flow has not yet begun, that is, before the beginning of the growing season. But still, it is more often recommended to transplant this shrub in early spring, explaining this by the fact that a bush planted before winter can freeze due to its fragile root system. Therefore, start transplanting blackcurrant bushes as soon as the condition of the soil allows you to do so.

Step-by-step instructions on how to properly transplant gooseberries

How to cut currants in spring

With a task,

The next spring, currant cuttings are planted in a growing area, and in the fall to a permanent place.

For rooting, young shoots of currants are chosen, which are not yet fully lignified, but no longer break when bending.

• Cuttings can be planted before winter. The most important thing is not to miss the moment when the buds on the annual shoots have already fallen asleep, i.e. entered the resting phase.
• Propagating currants on your own is much better than buying them in a nursery or at a bazaar for several reasons. The most important reason is that with the help of cuttings, you can grow 20 bushes and 100 in one year, depending on your needs. Let's take a closer look at this method.
• Then the bush is removed from the ground with a shovel or crowbar, put on film and transported to the transplantation site;
• Stick to the most appropriate dates when you can transplant gooseberries;
• For good growth, the bush needs space, at least 150 cm should remain between neighbors.This is also an additional measure against massive currant diseases. Finally, the correct pit depth. For a currant bush, you don't need a lot of it, but experts advise you to dig about 60 cm. This will make it possible for lateral small roots to develop, and they will become the main source of nutrition.
• It will be difficult to find an unequivocal answer to the question of whether it is possible to transplant currant bushes in the fall due to the many opinions among gardeners. Some claim that transplanting is permissible only in the spring, especially for expensive varieties. Others argue that the bushes winter well after a change of location. If we are talking about black varieties, then they will perfectly tolerate moving at the beginning and at the end of autumn. But it is important to transplant red currants in the fall before the onset of frost, since its survival rate is much lower.
• For the future growth of the currant bush, try to choose a place that is always sufficiently illuminated by the sun's rays. Black currant is a very thermophilic plant that does not tolerate shaded areas well.
• Every gardener faces each year. In fact, this is a complex agrotechnical technique that plays an important role in the formation of the currant as a whole and its fertility. And the first pruning occurs immediately after planting. This is done with one goal: to allow the shrub to branch faster. Each branch is cut on the currant, leaving only 2 or 4 developed buds on it. If the branch is weak and has not yet borne fruit, then it is recommended to cut it to a hemp. In general, you can leave four to five well-developed shoots, cut off the rest to the base. This method stimulates the growth of basal shoots and has a good effect on the further development of the shrub.

Another reliable way to propagate black and red currants is by dropping layers from the mother bush. The advantage of this method is that in this case the survival rate is 100%.

To grow currant seedlings from these shoots, they are planted under a film in greenhouses or in greenhouses with sufficient humidity. For single cases of cultivation during the propagation of black currants with green cuttings, they can be covered with plastic bottles or glass jars. This method is also suitable for propagation of red currants.

Reproduction of black currant by cuttings

Harvesting lignified currant cuttings

For black currants, the resting phase occurs in late September - early October. In red currants, the dormant period begins earlier - in the second half of August.

In order to be sure that the currant seedlings will give exactly the fruits that you expect, take a look at the very popular method of propagating different varieties of currants using cuttings.

A hole is dug in the selected area of ​​a slightly larger diameter than an earthen lump with a root system (about 50 cm deep);

Be sure to weed the soil thoroughly before replanting the bushes.

Autumn is the most optimal time of the year when it is best to transplant gooseberries. The season has already ended, the berries have been collected from the bushes, which means that after transplanting to a new place, the bush will direct all its forces to rooting and take root better.

The answer to the question of when to transplant black currants is the weather forecast in the fall. It is important to do all the work about a month before the zero mark on the thermometer is constant. There is another opinion: it is preferable to transplant into the already frozen ground, since the shock at the bush will be minimal. Allegedly, since spring, growth and development will rapidly accelerate.

Planting lignified currant cuttings

The site must be dug up and fertilized. As a fertilizer, you can use humus, potash fertilizers, superphosphate or wood ash. Landing holes must be dug in advance - about two to three weeks. If you are going to transplant several bushes into one area, then do not forget to observe the required distance between them when planting. From bush to bush should be about one and a half meters. As for the holes themselves, it is good if their width is approximately 50-60 cm, and the depth is 30-40 cm. But these are all fairly general recommendations. Depending on the size of the roots, the depth and width of the holes may vary.

, Even a novice gardener can handle. There is nothing difficult in this, you just need to familiarize yourself with a few tricks. Currant bushes are planted in a hole with a depth of about half a meter, fertilizers are also added here (humus, 200 g of superphosphate and 30–40 g of potassium sulfate). The shrub grows in one place for several years, so additional feeding is necessary every year. Fertilizers fill ¾ of the volume of the hole for planting a shrub.

This method is suitable for all types of currants. In order for the currant layering to take root, they are laid in grooves extending from the mother bush in the form of rays and sprinkled with earth.

To prepare high-quality cuttings from green currant shoots, they try to cut them in the morning in cool weather. If the weather is cloudy or rainy, then you can harvest currant cuttings throughout the day.

How to properly plant currant cuttings?

This period is most favorable for planting cut cuttings. If you are late, the number of rooted cuttings will decrease. If you decide to plant cuttings in the spring, try to plant as early as possible.

That being said, there are several ways to grow good shrubs. Lignified currant cuttings are planted in spring and autumn, and green cuttings can be used for the same purposes in summer.

4 buckets of water are poured into the pit;

Not everyone is able to initially plan the location of the beds, shrubs, trees and flower beds on the site in such a way that they do not have to regret their decision later. The reasons why there is a need to redevelop the site may be different: someone has an idea to create a Moorish lawn in front of the house, others are uncomfortable with overgrown trees and shrubs, and still others are trying to save weakened plants that were planted in an inappropriate place for them. ... And if adult fruit trees in most cases have to be cut down at the root, then with shrubs the situation is much simpler - so, transplanting gooseberries in the fall does not require much trouble from the gardener and does not take much time.

How to propagate currants with green cuttings

Before transplanting currants in the fall to a new place, it must be correctly identified. The word "correct" should be understood as a site that will meet the following requirements:

If, during the preparation of the hole, you notice that the soil in this place is especially heavy and clayey, then experts advise to dig the hole deeper and fill its bottom with fertile soil mixed with humus or loose compost.

Timely thin out the bushes, do not spare old and dried up branches. Remember that leaves appear on currants very early, so have time to do pruning before this moment;

Before lowering the planting into the ground, we once again inspect it, remove dried or damaged roots. We pour a bucket of water into the hole, and only after that we plant the currants, straightening its roots. Then we fall asleep with humus, water it again.

For reliability, you can attach currant branches, intended for growing young bushes, with pieces of wire bent in the shape of the letter V. When the young bushes take root and grow, the wire can be removed and the currant bushes can be transplanted to the intended place next spring.

To grow normal currant seedlings, it is enough to prepare cuttings about 10 cm long, with three to four leaves. The leaf plates of the lower leaves should be cut in half.

In order not to create problems with the care of currants grown from cuttings, it is recommended to plant them along the cord at a distance of 10-15 cm. Between the rows it is advisable to leave a passage 40 cm wide. convenient digging during planting in a permanent place.

Annual shoots are used as lignified currant cuttings. It is advisable to chop them from healthy bushes that you have observed during the summer and are confident in the good taste of the berries. You can cut currant cuttings in autumn or early spring. You can combine harvesting cuttings with spring currant pruning.

A mixture is poured from the top layer of removed fertile soil with compost (it is better not to add fertilizers so as not to burn the roots);

If you needed a gooseberry transplant in order to free up space on the site, then you can place the bushes along the fence, at a distance of one and a half meters from it, or near young trees, leaving a free distance of at least two meters.

As you know, gooseberries, which are planted in places open to the sun, protected from strong winds, grow and bear fruit best of all. In damp areas, where the groundwater is too close, and in areas with heavy clay soil, the shrub will often be subject to fungal diseases, and the berries, if they appear, are very small.

It should be an open area, then the harvest will be of high quality and many diseases will be avoided;

Vegetative propagation of currants

A distinctive feature of black currant is that its roots are relatively shallow and rather limited. That is, the suction roots are located approximately 25-30 cm from the soil surface. All this allows, with proper care, to saturate the bushes with a sufficient amount of useful trace elements.

Periodically level the crown of the bush, this technique will also help to increase yields;

If you plan to transplant currants, due to the fact that the bush has been growing in one place for more than 5 years, then you should adhere to the following rules.
