Reproduction of black currant cuttings in spring

The whole complexity of this process will consist only in the correct timing and the observance of each step. Reproduction, taking into account the region of black currant growth, will occur with the harvesting of its green cuttings, and at different times. But in any case it is a period of melting snow and swelling of the kidneys.

Reproduction of black currant

Of the tools we will need only a sharp and clean garden knife, a couple of half-liter cans and fertilizer. So, let's analyze step-by-step reproduction in such a way in the spring, how the black currant cropped, and the preparation of the cuttings in the water:

1. The length of the blanks will be within 10-15 cm. As for the apical cut, it should be done at a distance of the order of 10 mm. Always remember that at the bottom we cut at an angle, and at the top straight.
2. Further in the spring our black currant billets are installed in half-liter cans, filled with water for reproduction. Do not try to make a lot of blanks and save space, having in each bank more cuttings. If there are more than five or six, nothing good will come about, because they will literally oppress each other.
3. Now let's touch on the issue of feeding black currant, because in the matter of reproduction this is not the last point. It is clear that I want to get the most healthy and strong workpieces for planting for the next season. However, if the fertilizers are applied excessively, the rootlets will simply die. This is also called stucked roots.
4. Conditionally, the entire breeding period, we will divide into two stages: first you hold the green cuttings in water, then transfer to the soil suitable for black currant. In banks with water, blanks will stay for about three weeks. Until then, until the length of the roots is not 15 mm.
5. Further, in the spring, the soil stage for cuttings begins, when the black currant preforms are transferred to soil consisting of a mixture of peat and sand with humus. The first three parts, the other two - one by one.
6. We planted the first three days of watering, and we apply fertilizers. We take nitroammophoska and introduce five grains. About a month in cups, and your blanks are strong enough to land in the soil. In advance, your cuttings, obtained in the spring, are prepared, gradually bringing the seedlings of black currant to the street, this is the last stage of breeding. Well, further strengthened planting material can be landed on the prepared place.
