I found the scheme pruning berry bushes, which is gaining a lot of positive reviews on social networks in communities truckers. From these reviews found valuable notes practitioners who are also included in this material 🗝Beri, save and enjoy!
1 step. Planting saplings. The scheme involves the cultivation yielding bush from the start. You can buy a variety that is suitable for your region. Another option - take a sapling from its most successful bush or ask to share offshoot of the "black diamond" neighbors, friends and relatives.
Step 2. Leave alone the seedling for the next 4 years in terms of pruning. This does not mean that we should completely forget about currants. Fertilized and watered as necessary, and collect the first crop. The meaning of this step is to give currants gain strength naturally. Just watch out for the health of the plant: fight against diseases and pests, cut dry branches.
Step 3 - 5 years of bush. Cut the spring half of the branches, leaving half the length. Maybe it is a pity. But pruning will force Bush to fluff up: there will be new.
Step 4 - 6 years. At this point you will be the owner of a large and branching bush. In the spring of cut branches, creating an extra thickness. It shoots that grow close to one direction. It should be left alone. A further cut in half old shoots (those which do not cut in the past year), and new leaves. Ideally, it obtained about 20 branches.
Further still continue to hold the half cutting the old branches, and those that grow near the ground. Full instruction requires uprooting bushes after 6-7 years, but the reviews say, rejuvenating pruning allows currants on Michurin fully plodnosit decades!
