Near what you can not plant Currant, if you want to get an excellent Harvest every year

In the wild, many plants coexist perfectly with each other, but the cultivated ones, having acquired yield, size and excellent taste, have weakened in many ways, have become sensitive.

Here is the currant - in the garden must have the right "neighbors", otherwise a good harvest, whatever you do with it, you will not see!

Taught by my own negative experience, I want to share with all fans of this berry a list of what should not grow next to it.

Raspberry

This shrub has a powerful root system - it occupies a large area and actively draws nutrients from the soil.

Currants are not a competitor to her - they begin to wither and not only stop bearing fruit, but also become vulnerable to diseases.

Sea buckthorn

It does not actively take nutrients from the soil, but greedily "drinks" water, and therefore the currants, even with abundant watering, begins to suffer from a lack of moisture and then her yield not only decreases, but also those berries that ripen turn out to be almost tasteless.

Pear

The roots of this tree are about as strong as currants, so both plants will live as if they were normal. But in the struggle, mutually reducing the viability and productivity gradually.

The only exception are pears, which exist as grafts on apple trees - because currants coexist normally with apples.

Gooseberry

Unfavorable for currants due to a common pest of crops - moths. This insect has a disgusting "talent" - it multiplies rapidly and most often first appears on the gooseberry.

Juniper

Theoretically, this shrub could perfectly coexist with currants, if not for its tendency to fungal diseases, in the first place - to rust.

And there is a risk that it will spread to the currant, and this not only deprives it of its productivity, but also reduces the winter hardiness of the crop.

I also consider it very important to note that black currants and red currants do not tolerate the neighborhood. The fact is that although the care of crops is about the same, red needs an abundance of sunlight, and black - shade more to taste.

So a joint landing will inevitably harm one or the other. It is undesirable to place black and white currants next to each other, since the first one throughout the growing season period, releases a huge amount of phytoncides, capable of reducing the yield of white - part of the ovaries crumbles.
