Many summer residents begin to redeploy plants before the cold. This applies to both bushes and fruit trees. Below we will touch on the question of how to correctly transplant the currant in the fall, and consider this process in stages.
When to change the black currant in the fall?
Find an unambiguous answer to the question whether it is possible to transplant the currant bushes in the autumn, it will be difficult because of the many opinions among gardeners. Some argue that transplantation is permissible only in the spring, especially for expensive varieties. Others argue that the bushes will perfectly overwinter after changing places. If we are talking about black grades, they will perfectly transfer moving in the beginning and in the end of autumn. But it is important to transplant the red currant in the fall before the onset of frost, as her survival rate is much lower.
The answer to the question, when replanting the black currant, will be 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 permanent. There is another opinion: transplanting into already frozen ground is preferable, since the shock at the bush will be minimal. Ostensibly from the spring, growth and development will accelerate rapidly.
How to transplant the currant in the fall?
Before you transplant the currant in the fall in a new place, it must be correctly defined. The word "correctly" should be understood as a site that will meet the following requirements:
- it must be an open area, then the harvest will be qualitative and many diseases will be avoided;
- avoid places of near-lying water and marshy areas, ideally this chernozem mixed with loam;
- You can not plant a bush next to fruit trees so that diseases or pests can not migrate to it;
- red currant
in autumn it is worth to transplant to a new place with soil where there are sand impurities, as this will improve the development of the root system.
We change the site for the transplant and begin to prepare it. The preparation consists of 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.
For good growth, the bush needs space, between neighbors should remain at least 150 cm. This is also an additional measure of the mass disease of the currant. And finally, the correct depth of the pit. For the currant bush a lot of it is not needed, but connoisseurs are advised to dig about 60 cm. This will allow the development of lateral small roots, and they will become the main source of nutrition.
