Currants are one of the most unpretentious garden plants, which does not require special care. One of the few agrotechnical measures necessary when growing crops is regular transplantation of bushes to a new location. The difficulty is that they do not tolerate the procedure well, they can get sick and eventually die, so the transplantation of currants must be carried out taking into account its biological properties and other characteristics.

For some gardeners, currant bushes grow successfully in one place for many years in a row and bear fruit well. But sometimes the crop has to be replanted quite often for the following reasons:

The algorithm of actions in each case is the same - you need to choose the right area for the bush, optimal time transplantation, and then carry out the procedure with minimal stress for the plant.

For reference! The rules for caring for varieties of currants (black, red, white) are practically the same. The main differences between crop varieties are taste and chemical composition(black contains more essential oils). Rarer, burgundy and pink berries are hybrid varieties red currant.

When is the transplant performed?

Unanimous opinion on optimal timing Gardeners do not transplant plants. The procedure is carried out in winter or spring, depending on the weather conditions of the area of residence, taking into account biological features culture, pros and cons different transplants at different times.

Many owners of personal plots replant currants in early spring - after the ground has warmed up to 5 degrees and the temperature outside the window is at least +1 degree. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the important biological characteristics of the crop. Plants enter the growing season early and begin sap flow, and if the transplant is carried out prematurely, after the start of sap flow and the active growth period, the shrub will receive a double load - it will need to take root well and at the same time increase the mass of foliage.

Autumn transplanting also has its drawbacks. After moving to a new place, the currant experiences stress, and too severe frosts can destroy the plant if it does not have time to take root in the new place.

Accordingly, the main guideline when choosing the timing of replanting bushes will be the weather conditions of the region. In the southern regions and the middle zone, it is preferable to carry out the procedure in the fall, at the end or mid-September, when at least three weeks remain before a serious drop in temperature. The plant must completely shed its green mass and stop sap flow. In regions with harsh climates and early, cold winters, it is better to transplant currants into spring time, on average in the second half of March. The bushes should also be in a “dormant” state - if they have already thrown out new shoots or buds, it is better to postpone the procedure.

Summer transplantation is the worst option, so it is carried out in extreme cases

At making the right choice culture will give time for transplantation good harvest and new shoots that will bear fruit in the first year. The plants' immunity will increase, the likelihood of being affected by diseases and pests will decrease, and the berries will be tasty and healthy.

Important! Red currants are weaker and more capricious than black ones, so you need to choose the timing of transplantation for them very carefully, focusing on the features and characteristics of the variety. The black variety of the crop is stronger, so it is not afraid of experiments, but it is better not to take risks with rare, valuable varieties. You can read more about blackcurrants in.

Is it possible to transplant in summer?

IN summer heat It is possible to replant currants, but it is not advisable. This is usually only done when the owner personal plot is moving and wants to take the best copies. In such cases, the bushes need to be placed in containers, moved to the chosen location and planted, strictly following all the rules of agricultural technology. But even correctly transplanted plants in this case will not produce a harvest in the first year - most likely, they will shed their leaves and inflorescences, and the berries will begin to form only in the next season.

How to choose a place

You need to choose a site for replanting currants according to the same rules as when initially planting the crop - focus on lighting, soil composition and “neighbors” in the site.

Attention! Red and white currant varieties require a careful approach to choosing a growing location, while black varieties can grow in shaded areas with slightly high humidity.

Soil preparation

Before starting transplantation, the selected area should be prepared accordingly. For autumn replanting, the event is carried out in August, for spring replanting - in September-October before frost. The soil needs to be cleared of weeds, dig to a depth of 40 cm and apply the following fertilizers per square meter:

humus – 10 kg;
double superphosphate – 10 g;
potassium chloride – 7 g.

After this, the soil on the site should be mixed again with a shovel, the top layer should be leveled with a rake and the soil should be left to “rest”.

Plant transplantation

Currants do not tolerate transplantation well, and in order for the bushes to take root well and begin to bear fruit as soon as possible, the procedure must be carried out accordingly.

Table 1. Step-by-step instruction currant transplants

Step, no.	Description	Photo
1	2-3 weeks before the event, dig holes in the prepared area at intervals of 1-1.5 m from each other. Their size depends on the crop variety and the characteristics of the bush - for young plants the width should be about 40 cm, for adults - 50-60 cm, the optimal depth is 30-40 cm. The roots should be placed in the hole freely, without bends
2	Fill the holes approximately 2/3 with soil taken from the top layer of soil, mixed with humus, wood ash, complex fertilizers. If the soil is too heavy, a layer of drainage should first be poured onto the bottom of the hole.
3	Dig up the plants by 1-1.5 bayonets, making a circle, equal to diameter above-ground parts, and then carefully remove them from the ground. No need to pull bushes by their branches to avoid damaging them
4	Inspect the dug up bush again. Healthy specimens can be replanted immediately; in sick specimens, damaged roots of harmful insect larvae can be removed, and then treated root system antiseptic (for example, potassium permanganate solution)
5	Pour water into the hole so that liquid mud forms at the bottom. Immerse the dug bushes in it and, holding them by the upper part, sprinkle them with soil to a depth of 5-8 cm
6	Spread the soil around the bush again and lightly compact it

Attention! When replanting currants, it is important not to thicken the plantings, otherwise the plants will block each other's light and air, and diseases from one bush will quickly spread to the rest.

Care after transplant

Key conditions for normal rooting currant bushes– maintaining soil moisture and breathability. To do this, it needs to be constantly loosened and watered - in the first 1-2 weeks, watering should be very abundant, and then it should be reduced to normal.

There is no need to fertilize, since the bushes and soil were fertilized during transplantation - too a large number of nutrient mixtures can lead to burns of the root system and growth inhibition. Most often, it is not necessary to feed the plantings in the first year, but final conclusions must be made depending on the condition of the bushes. In addition, it is important to prevent the appearance of weeds that will pull out of the soil nutrients and interfere with the normal growth of currants.

Immediately after replanting, you need to prune the bushes - cut off the old shoots completely, and the young ones by half. In addition, you need to trim all the shoots that grow inward and thicken the bush - they will interfere with each other and negatively affect fruiting. It should be noted that the opinions of gardeners regarding the advisability of pruning currants immediately after moving to a new location also differ. Some advise carrying out the procedure about 2-3 weeks before transplanting, so as not to overload the plants. They motivate this by the fact that if they prune the bushes at once, they will need to take root and heal wounds at the same time.

Weakened currant bushes that have recently suffered stress in the form of transplantation are an ideal target for pests and diseases, so the gardener must carefully monitor the health of the plantings. At the first signs of damage, the bushes should be immediately treated with special preparations, strictly following the rules of the procedure.

Important! After a spring transplant, you need to carefully monitor the temperature outside the window. When frost returns, the transplanted bushes must be protected, otherwise there is a high probability of their death.

Preparing for winter

After autumn transplantation, currants need to be properly prepared for winter so that frosts do not destroy weakened plants. To do this you need to do the following:

The bushes can be covered with non-woven material, roofing felt or roofing felt, but using branches, sawdust or other wood debris as mulch is not recommended, as they can harbor rodents that will destroy the root system. If there is no other option, you need to place bait for rats and mice under cover.

Nuances and subtleties of growing currants

When transplanting currants, you need to take into account the characteristics of varieties and varieties of the crop, as well as the characteristics of plants of different ages.

If you follow the rules of agricultural technology and carefully care for the crop, the transplanted currant bushes will take root well and will delight you with a rich harvest in the first year.

Video - Caring for currants

There are some rules on how to transplant a currant bush to a new location. It is important to determine what time is best to carry out the procedure so that the root system adapts faster and the plant does not die. The area for planting, as well as the bush itself, is first selected and prepared. After planting, you need to provide the seedling with special care, which involves frequent watering, treatment against diseases and pests, and fertilizing.

The need to replant a currant bush from one place to another may arise in the following situations:

autumn planting of a bush of your favorite variety;
for the purpose of plant rejuvenation;
a way to get rid of diseases and pests;
shadow due to grown fruit trees;
thinning overgrown bushes;
increasing productivity, as the land under the bush is quickly depleted.

In order for the currant bush to take root in the new plot of land, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work and choose the appropriate timing.

Optimal timing

When determining in which month to transplant, take into account, first of all, weather conditions. in spring best time for work - March (from March 11 to March 22). In the fall, you can start work from the 20th of September and continue until mid-October.

When is it better - autumn or spring?

Plant replanting can be done both in spring and autumn. But in regions with frosty winter months it is better to refuse autumn transplantation:

In spring, work is carried out before sap flow begins. In this case, it should be established stably warm weather. If work is carried out before sap flow begins and the buds and roots wake up, the plant will adapt faster. The shrub will not bear fruit during the transplanting season, but you can be sure that the shoots will not be damaged by frost.
Autumn replanting has many advantages. Until the onset of the first frost, it remains stable. temperature regime air, which has a beneficial effect on the adaptation of the root system. In addition, many nutritional components have accumulated in all parts of the plant, and the movement of juice is suspended. All these factors contribute to the rapid healing of damaged areas. The bush will bear fruit next summer.

In regions with warm and moderately warm climates, it is preferable to replant the crop in the fall. You need to have time to plant the plant before frosts at least 20 days in advance. The ideal period is mid-September.

Is it possible to replant bushes in summer?

It is not advisable to replant a currant bush in the summer, especially in July. At this time, the chances of taking root in a new place are the lowest. The plant devotes all its energy to the development of green mass and the formation of fruits.

But there are cases when replanting cannot be done (for example, the sale of a plot or the soil becomes infected with an infection). In this case, you should dig up the bush with a clod of earth. And the larger the earthen lump, the better, since the roots will not be affected too much. Immediately after transplanting, water the soil generously and mulch with humus.

In August, it is advisable to replant currants using cuttings. Over the summer, young shoots form around the bush, which can be planted throughout the area. Select cuttings with a height of at least 16 cm and a diameter of 5 cm.

Preparatory stages

In order for the transplant to take place safely, you need to choose the right place, select suitable soil and prepare the planting material itself.

Transplant technology

If the shrub transplant procedure is carried out according to all the rules, adaptation to the new place will take place quickly, and immunity will not be affected.

Choosing the ideal place for a bush

Growing a plant in the right place will bring little trouble, and the harvest will be high-quality and plentiful. For landing fruit bush choose a bright, flat area, preferably on the south or southwest side. In these places, the earth is warmed up faster by the sun, the soil is well breathable and water does not accumulate.

Areas where potatoes, buckwheat, legumes, beets, and corn used to grow are well suited for currants.
It is not advisable to plant in a place where there are a lot of weeds or the roots are intertwined. perennial plants. You cannot plant currants in lowlands where water accumulates. This unfavorable factor contributes to the development of fungal diseases and rot. It is also impossible to plant too high, since cold winds blow at higher elevations and water quickly evaporates from the surface of the earth.
Preparing the soil and planting hole
Place selected for transfer in early spring dig to a depth of 38 cm and apply a fertilizer complex consisting of compost, superphosphate and potassium chloride. Light, nutritious soil with good aeration and neutral acidity is suitable for planting currants. The ideal option is a loamy soil composition.
In August they begin digging the planting hole. Its depth should be approximately 42 cm and width 62 cm. For tall varieties currants make the pit larger. Upper part soil removed from the pit is mixed with a small part of rotted manure, wood ash and superphosphate. The resulting fertile substrate is poured into the bottom of the hole and watered warm water.
Preparation of the bush
Before planting, prepare not only the soil, but also the bush itself. Preparatory work begin several weeks before transplantation work. All old and damaged stems are cut out, and young shoots are shortened.
Trimming before the procedure
During replanting, the area of the root system is significantly reduced, as a result, fewer nutritional components will reach the upper part of the bush. Therefore, 2.5 weeks before transplanting, it is necessary to trim secondary branches that do not participate in fruiting. At the same time, the plant rejuvenates.
Strong branches grow at the base of the bush; the fruiting zone begins at a height of 35 cm. There is weak branching here, the shoots are short, but there are flower buds on them.
The upper part of the bush also produces a large number of fruit buds, but they are weaker and the berries are small. Therefore, the third part of the main branches is cut off, while the total height of the bush should be 47 cm. You cannot combine plant replanting with pruning branches. This creates additional stress for the culture, and therefore immunity adaptation rates decrease.
Landing
First you need to dig up the bush from the old place. To do this, dig a 32 cm deep ditch around the trunk area at a distance of 40 cm. Then you should pull the plant at the base. The roots that hold the bush in the ground are cut with a shovel.
Advice. To avoid damaging the plant during work and transportation, the branches are tied with rope.
The dug up shrub is placed on a large canvas and delivered to the intended planting site:
First, the roots of the plant are inspected. Dried, damaged branches are removed. After which the roots are placed for disinfection in a solution of potassium permanganate for 16 minutes.
Shrubs are placed in the prepared hole in the center, root branches are distributed and covered with earth. Make sure that the root collar is 5 cm above the ground surface.
When filling the hole with soil, it is important that no voids form. They increase the risk of developing rot. In order to prevent the formation of voids, the plant is shaken periodically.
The soil around the trunk is lightly compacted and a groove is formed for irrigation. For the first watering, take two buckets of warm, settled water. Water is poured into the hole slowly, waiting until it is completely absorbed.

The last step is to mulch the tree trunk soil with peat, humus or turf soil.
What to consider when replanting young and old currants
An adult bush should be transplanted to a new site with extreme caution. We need to try our best more land leave on the roots. The bush is dug in from all sides to a depth of 42 cm. The procedure should be carried out slowly, protecting the roots from damage. It takes two people to pull out a large bush.
Young bushes can be dug up without a clod of earth, since there is a high probability that the plant will take root and without it.

Distinctive features of different types of transplants
Each currant variety differs not only in the color of the fruit and growth form, but also in the requirements for soil, environmental conditions and care.
black currant
The black variety of currant is less demanding. Almost any soil is suitable for planting it, and you can choose the northern part of the site. A high yield can be harvested even under temporary shading.
red currant
Red currants make more demands on the soil. The soil should be fertile, loose, with good aeration. Soil with a high sand content is ideal.
For red currants, you need to dig up more deep hole. This is done to establish a drainage layer. Red currant roots do not like excess moisture, as their resistance to fungal diseases is low.
Care after landing at a new place
The first time after planting, buried currants require special attention:
In order for water and air to freely penetrate to the roots, it is necessary to periodically loosen the soil. At the base of the bush, loosening is carried out to a depth of 7 cm, in the remote area - to 15 cm.

Every gardener who grows currants knows that this crop requires constant care. But in order to get a rich harvest, it is necessary to carry out timely measures to replant currant bushes. When is it better to replant currants, in spring or autumn? How to care for transplanted plants?

Optimal time

Before deciding when to transplant currant bushes, You should find out the reasons why this procedure is necessary:

often replanting plants is necessary in order to increase the number of shrubs of a certain variety;
if the bush is constantly exposed to fungal diseases, and treatment at the old planting site does not give positive results;
over time, the bushes begin to grow very densely, while preventing each other from developing normally;
such a need occurs if the level groundwater rose sharply for some reason;
if the currants grow in the same place long time, there is a gradual depletion of the soil, which does not provide the plant with a sufficient amount of nutrients, while the berry yield is significantly reduced;
replanting currants is also necessary if there are outbuildings nearby or tall trees, which shade the crop, preventing sunlight from penetrating.

Any currant (red, white, black) painfully tolerates the replanting procedure, so it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of a particular variety. But at what time is it better to replant a shrub to get an early harvest? Experts cannot give a definite answer to this question. For one occasion ideal option an autumn transplant is considered, and for others, on the contrary, a spring transplant. Planting procedure different times year will be identical, seasonal replanting differs only in the subsequent care of the crop.

To choose the right time for replanting, it is worth taking into account the climatic conditions of the area where the currants are grown.

In harsh climatic conditions It is recommended to replant in the spring, when the snow has melted and the outside temperature has returned to normal. But when the bush has already begun to grow and develop, it is worth postponing replanting until autumn. The autumn period also requires certain observances rules, because in this case the bush must completely get rid of the leaf plates, and the shoots must stop the movement of juices.

Autumn replanting has certain advantages over spring, because at this stage currant bushes contain a large amount of nutrients that contribute to an accelerated wound healing process, and the recovery process is much easier. The optimal period for replanting currant bushes in central and southern Russia is considered to be mid-September (from the 10th to the 15th).

Spring transplant

It is better to carry out a spring transplant during a period when the temperature outside is around 0 or +5 degrees. The main thing is that the buds do not have time to swell. At the same time, the period for replanting a plant is minimal, so if it is not possible to carry out measures in this period, then it is better to postpone replanting until autumn. Experts do not recommend replanting flowering bushes currants, they will be attacked by fungal diseases and drop flowers.

In spring, it is better to replant young bushes formed from layering or rooted cuttings. The harvest from such planting should be expected no earlier than in a year, during which time the plant will take root and acquire a sufficient amount of nutrients.

Autumn transplant

For such a transplant, it is very important that the right time is chosen. There must be at least 3 weeks before the onset of frost. When planted early, the plant can confuse the seasons by putting out buds in winter time, thus the plant may die. If transplanted late, the root system will not have time to fully take root. A plant planted on time must have time to take root so that in the spring it begins to actively develop, bringing a rich harvest. Before the onset of frost, currant bushes must be covered thermal insulation materials. 10-20 kg of humus should be poured onto the soil near the stem.

If autumn is dry and without rain, then before the onset of the first frost, the transplanted shrubs should be watered abundantly with warm water.

Is it possible to transplant currant bushes in the summer?

Experienced gardeners do not recommend replanting this crop in the summer, but there are situations when there is no choice. Mature shrubs should be dug up so that the root system is together with the soil. The more soil you dig up along with the bush, the more likely it is that replanting will give positive results. In hot weather you will need abundant watering for the bush, otherwise the plant will not take root and will dry out.

Experts believe that summer is not the right time for replanting. berry bushes. Even if you watered the transplanted plant abundantly, which contains a large number of leaf blades. In sultry heat, the bush simply cannot withstand such a load, resulting in the risk of losing the berry harvest.

Seedlings purchased from special nurseries and sold in containers can be replanted at any time of the year. The main thing is to ensure a sufficient amount of moisture, as well as fertilizing.

After transplanting such plants, it is necessary to mulch the ground with humus, peat or sand mixture. In this way you will retain moisture in the soil. If the planting holes are immediately filled with fertilizers, then fertilizing can be postponed until next year.

How to choose a place?

When choosing a new location for a berry bush, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the variety. After all, black currants can be planted in almost any soil, but red currants are better planted in sandy soil. This is due to the fact that this variety of berries does not tolerate excess moisture in the soil. In such conditions, the plant is constantly sick, not producing a normal harvest. To choose the right place to plant a currant bush, you should pay attention to some nuances.

First of all, the place should be well lit by sunlight. Black currants can be planted in a semi-shaded area, but the red currant variety should only be planted on the south side of the area where there is no shade.
If the site is located in a lowland or swampy area, then the currant bush in such an area will be constantly exposed to fungal diseases, and excess moisture will lead to rotting of the root system. But shrubs should not be placed too high either; constant winds will have a negative effect on ripe berries, as well as blow all the moisture out of the soil.
Potatoes or legumes can be used as “neighbors”. You should not plant shrubs where there are a lot of weeds or high fruit trees. Being near such crops, the bush will significantly reduce fruiting.
The distance between the transplanted bush and other bushes should be at least 1.5 meters. berry plant has low rate resistance to diseases that can be infected from neighboring fruit plants.
Currant bushes cannot tolerate close location groundwater, they should be at a depth of 1-1.5 meters from the surface of the earth. To determine their location, you should pay attention to the weeds growing in the area. Where wormwood grows, the distance from the surface of the earth to groundwater is 5 meters, cattail - 1 meter, reed or meadowsweet - 1.5-3 meters.

Transplant stages

There are 3 types of transplantation of currant crops:

dividing the bush;
layering;
green cuttings (late May - early June).

Dividing the bush

By layering

Green cuttings

The last variation of propagation is suitable for extreme situations, for example, you urgently need to free the area from currants or it is constantly exposed to diseases on old soil, where replanting is the only way out. Once you have decided on the transplant location, you can begin the process of replanting the currant bush. Let's take a closer look at replanting a plant in the autumn by dividing the bush.

The first step is to clear the area of various weeds and debris. It is advisable to do this 10-20 days before transplantation, this way the soil will be ventilated and warmed up.
The holes are dug so that the distance between them is at least 1 meter. If you are planting large shrubs, it is better to increase the distance between them. The hole should have a diameter of 0.5 to 0.6 m and a depth of 0.3-0.4 m. Experts recommend digging a hole to suit the size of the root system.
A drainage layer of 7-8 centimeters is laid at the bottom of the pit, which should include crushed stone and sand. The soil that was removed from the pit should be mixed with wood ash, humus and potash or phosphate fertilizers. But be careful when adding the last ingredients, too much will kill the plant. The preparation of a mixture of soil and fertilizers must be carried out strictly according to the instructions.
2/3 of the hole is filled with the prepared mixture from the ground. Afterwards, it is necessary to water it generously with warm water; if the soil quickly absorbs the liquid, then the procedure should be repeated.

The currant bush must be completely rid of old branches, and young shoots must be cut to half. A viable plant must have a powerful root system consisting of 2 or 3 branches ranging from 15 to 25 centimeters in size. For replanting the best options count seedlings whose age does not exceed 3 years. The quality of seedlings can be checked by the condition of the bark: it should be smooth green. The unsuitable seedling has brown bark.
The dug out shrub is carefully inspected to ensure that there are no harmful insects or larvae on it. If the kidneys are swollen, it means that harmful microorganisms have settled inside. Otherwise, the plant must be treated by specialized means. The most effective and safe special agent is a solution of potassium permanganate.
Water is poured into the prepared hole so that mud of a liquid consistency forms at the bottom. Afterwards the bush is installed in a vertical position and the remaining soil is poured. At the same time, make sure that there are no voids; the soil must be compacted constantly. The neck of the root system dives deep by 7-9 centimeters.
A mixture of humus, peat, and dry leaves is poured on top of the ground so that the top layer of soil does not dry out in the future. Within 3-4 days, it is necessary to water the planted shrub abundantly. When the planting procedure is completed, it is necessary to trim the buds. The bush is pruned into 4 or 5 buds, while the crown is cut off to almost its entire size.

This procedure is necessary to ensure that new and healthy kidneys actively develop. If this is not done, the crown will pull all the nutrients from the root system, preventing it from taking root normally in the new area. As a result, the plant will not develop properly, most of the leaf blades will dry out, and the bush itself will be sick all season, not producing enough berries.

Aftercare

After performing operations to transplant currant bushes, you will need regular care. The soil that is available near the main trunk must be kept loose. This is necessary to normalize the amount of water and oxygen that must be present in the soil for the active development of the shrub. Near the base of the currant crop, it is worth loosening the soil to a depth of 5 to 7 cm, and in the place where the watering hole is located, the loosening depth increases to 15 centimeters.

If currant seedlings were transplanted in the fall, they should be hilled immediately after planting; thanks to this procedure, the plant will withstand harsh weather much easier. At the beginning of spring, the ground around the trunk should be leveled to prevent shoots from spreading into the area. After all, at such a distance from the surface of the earth, the shoots will freeze out during the first frost. In autumn, bushes need to be prepared for winter:

Use the tips experienced summer residents,so that the transplanted currant bushes take root without problems.

Since when transplanting berry bushes in autumn, further covering will be required winter period, then you should not use freshly cut grass, tops or leaves as insulating material. Such ingredients will only attract rodents that can destroy the currant root system.
It is not recommended to transplant currants to an area where the same crop previously grew. It is better to choose a new place for replanting, because in this way you will not allow the soil to become overworked, and you will also not expose the plant to diseases that remain from old plants.
When transplanting currant bushes, it is prohibited to use it as fertilizer. fresh manure. This ingredient will interfere with the excretion excess moisture from the soil, and this will lead to rotting of the root system.
If you are replanting several varieties of currants at the same time, they should be planted next to each other. Thus, you will increase the yield and size of the fruits, because cross-pollination of plants will occur.

When planting currants in the spring, there is a risk of attacks by harmful insects. To prevent such attacks experienced gardeners It is recommended to plant spicy crops (garlic, parsley, basil) next to the seedlings, whose pungent aroma will repel pests.

To learn how to properly transplant currants, see the following video.

There is no clear answer to the question of when to replant a berry crop.

Some gardeners argue that there is only one option - replanting currants in the fall, when there are no leaves, the movement of juice slows down, and the plant is ready for wintering.

When to replant currants

The need to transplant currants arises in the following cases:

In each listed case, the transplantation rules and work procedure are similar.

Before answering the question of when you can replant currants, you should first choose a new place for the bush. This berry culture loves sunlight and heat, so shaded areas cannot be used. If there is little heat and light, the number of berries will decrease, and the bush will be susceptible to various diseases. It is not recommended to immerse the roots of the plant in strong wet soil– it will not grow. It is better to choose moderately moist black soil containing some loam and, if possible, make drainage in the hole.

This berry crop loves sunlight and warmth, so shaded areas cannot be used.

It is not advisable for the bush to be on the second tier. Its leaves are susceptible to diseases, and the fungus found in most berry and fruit crops can harm the crop. Transplantation can be done on partially sandy soil - the bush grows and develops better in it. Carefully dig up the place where currants will grow in the future, remove all debris, weeds and roots of old plants.

Rules for transplanting currants

If you decide to replant a berry crop, carefully prepare for this process. The yield of the bush depends on the correctness of your actions.

In the selected area, you should dig holes, placing them at a distance of one to one and a half meters from each other. Fall asleep inside fertile soil, humus, potash, phosphate fertilizers or wood ash. The prepared soil should be nutritious and sufficiently loose. To transplant red currants, it is advisable to add sand to the soil and arrange drainage in the form of a small layer of crushed stone at the bottom of the hole. The size of the holes should be at least fifty centimeters wide and thirty centimeters deep, but it is better to focus on the size of the roots.

The size of the holes should be at least fifty centimeters wide and thirty centimeters deep, but it is better to focus on the size of the roots.

The berry crop needs to be prepared for replanting: young shoots are cut in half and old branches are cut to the ground. The bush is carefully dug up and taken out of the ground. There is no need to pull the shoots - this can damage the roots or branches. If it was not possible to remove the plant the first time, it is dug up again with one and a half to two bayonets of a shovel.

The berry crop needs to be prepared for transplanting

If the bush is healthy, it can be removed along with a lump of earth and replanted immediately. But if it is sick, carefully examine the roots, remove damaged and dry ones, and remove the larvae of pests and insects living in the root system of the plant. After this, treat the roots with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Pour a large amount of water into the hole so that the soil mixture looks like a liquid substance. Immerse the bush in the slurry and, holding it suspended, sprinkle it with dry soil five to eight centimeters above the root collar. Water again to compact the soil around the roots. The distance between the bushes should be at least one hundred and fifty centimeters so that they do not shade each other. The transplanted plant needs the usual care: regular watering, spraying and nutritional fertilizing.

Pour a large amount of water into the hole so that the soil mixture looks like a liquid substance.

How to replant currants in the fall

For all gardeners, the relevant question is when is the best time to replant currants in order to quickly get a good harvest. In the northern regions, replanting is advisable in the spring, when the snow melts and the temperature outside is above zero. But if the bushes have already begun to grow, it is better to postpone replanting until autumn.

The procedure requires a certain patience, since the bush must shed its leaves and the sap flow in the shoots must stop. For middle zone The optimal period is mid-to-late October. In the north - two to three weeks later. If you move the bushes early, the currants may confuse the seasons and begin to grow and throw out buds. In winter they will freeze and weaken the plant. When dry and warm autumn transplanted shrubs require constant watering.

Winter shelter is mandatory. You can pour three buckets of old humus mixed with leaves into the base of the bush ornamental trees. By spring, a fertile and loose layer of soil will form around the plant, in which you can arrange a watering bowl. Shrubs planted in the fall become accustomed to the new location over the winter and take root in order to produce a harvest in the summer. If currant bushes are transplanted in the spring, they take a long time to take root and produce berries only after a year.

Transplantation in spring

During this period, the rooted cuttings are transplanted - they are transferred to permanent place from the nursery trench. If the cuttings were planted in the fall, in the spring they will be twigs with two or three leaves.

If the plant was cut from spring, by the time of transplantation well-developed bushes with two or three shoots should form. They are very easy to replant, but the plant must be dug up along with a lump of earth to minimize the risk of damage to the roots. Bushes transplanted in spring require proper care and good watering throughout the summer. Mature shrubs are replanted as early as possible - in mid or late March.

IN summer period replanting currants is not advisable, but possible. Mature bushes need to be dug up with a ball of earth - it should be as large as possible. To carry it to a new place, use basins, buckets and boxes. They need to be selected taking into account the size of the roots. After planting the shrub in a prepared hole, water it thoroughly for several days.

To carry it to a new place, use basins, buckets and boxes.

Seedlings from containers can be transplanted at any time of the year. It is important to provide them with good watering, fertilizing and fertilizer using ammonium nitrate. Immediately after planting, the area should be mulched using peat, compost, humus or sand - they will help retain moisture. If the planting holes are prepared well, fertilizing will be needed only after a year.

Regardless of the time of the procedure, it is necessary to cut off as much of the vegetative mass as possible from the transplanted bushes, and leave two or three buds for propagation.

If the planting holes are prepared well, fertilizing will be needed only after a year.

Otherwise, the plant will slow down and take a long time to gain momentum.

Abundant watering is required. For the first two weeks, you can safely create a swamp, that is, keep the roots in water. The longer this process takes place, the higher the likelihood of getting a rich harvest. But you cannot keep the roots in water for more than three weeks, as they may rot.

In the first year, the crown should be formed correctly so that there is a minimum of growth and all branches stretch upward. Further care is carried out in the fall: all old branches are cut out, the bush is directed in the right direction.

Transplanting black currants is possible in autumn, spring and even summer. The optimal time for such work is mid-October. Therefore, if you want to collect a lot of berries, follow the above recommendations.

Transplanting currants is not mandatory event for the gardener. But if there is a need to do this, then you need to take into account several simple rules. Read further in the article about when you can plant bushes in a new place, and how to properly care for them after that.

Is it possible to replant in September?

Currants are unpretentious plants. IN wildlife it grows all the way to the Arctic Circle. Its bushes easily create new roots, so planting or replanting is possible both in spring and autumn. However, it should be remembered that the plant needs time to adapt to new conditions and take root.

In the northern regions with autumn planting it may not have time to take root, and then the bush will die in winter, so in frost-hardiness zones with winter temperature within -17...-35°C, they prefer spring transplantation: in April-May. The currant root system develops well at low temperatures above zero.

Important!It is better to replant fruit-bearing bushes when they are dormant: from late September to March.

When planting in autumn in regions with warm winter the bush does not need to be sprayed to simultaneously maintain vegetation and root development.

It manages to create a powerful root system in a new place, and in the spring it begins to grow shoots. This will allow you to get a new harvest a year faster. In such a situation, experienced gardeners prefer a September transplant.

When to replant currants planted in autumn The timing for transplantation is determined climatic zone. But it is not recommended to move a seedling planted in the fall to a new location in the spring: it will not take root well, so be very careful when choosing a site.

Also keep in mind that although red, white and black currants belong to the same crop, the conditions for them must be different. Black grows well both in the sun and in partial shade. And red and white require an exclusively sunny area for optimal development.

Cuttings

Lignified cuttings are harvested in the fall. They are cut from strong, healthy annual shoots. You can plant them immediately or delay planting until spring. Until this point, they are stored in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic bag, or in a box with sand and earth, which is installed in a cool room. The cuttings are wrapped in polyethylene and placed under a thick layer of soil.

In the spring, before planting, check the safety, keep it at room temperature 3 days, soaked in a solution of a growth stimulator (for example, “Heteroauxin”). The drug will promote rapid rooting and prevent diseases. The cuttings are soaked for 18 hours. For the solution you will need to dissolve 2 tablets of the drug in 10 liters of water.

When planting in autumn, dig up the soil and mix the top layer with compost. The cuttings are treated with a growth stimulator, planted to a depth of 7 cm and covered plastic bottle. The soil around.

Bushes

The rules for planting bushes of any variety are the same. Most of the branches are pruned a few weeks before. Old shoots that are 5 or more years old are immediately removed, then weak ones. All branches are shortened by 1/3. The total height of the bush after pruning will be about 0.5 m.

Step back 15–20 cm from the branches and draw a circle on the ground. This is the approximate area of root spread. Dig up the bush at this mark. Place the tip of the shovel at an angle to pry up the roots, lifting them along with the soil. A sign of proper digging is that you can easily lift the plant.

Important!All bushes are planted at the same depth at which they grew before. The exception is black currant-it needs to be buried 5 cm lower to stimulate the development of shoots.

The roots of a bush removed from the ground are examined. If one is broken when removed from the old site, it is cut off with pruning shears wiped with an aqueous solution of bleach. A healthy bush with intact roots can be immediately transplanted to a new location.

If there are roots that are rotten or damaged by larvae, they are removed. Then disinfection is carried out in a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate) for an hour. Then the root system is soaked in a solution of a growth stimulator. This is necessary to enhance its development.

Features of preparation

Currants are tolerant of soil composition. This can be loam, chernozem and other types of soil. Acidity level - slightly acidic or neutral. The site must be flat. If it is a hill, then the water will quickly move away from the roots, which means the plant will not receive enough moisture and nutrients. The occurrence of groundwater is no higher than 1.5 m from the surface.

The selected area should not be in a lowland. Cold air will stagnate there, which is harmful for the bush. The degree of illumination is selected depending on whether the currant is black or red. The distance to the nearest trees should be about 2 m, between the bushes themselves - about 1–1.5 m.

Did you know?There are currently about 190 species of currants growing on Earth. It began to be used in home gardening in Rus' in the 11th century, by replanting ordinary wild shrubs from forests. Breeders received cultivated varieties only in the 16th century.

How to transplant currants: step-by-step diagram

Before transplanting, the soil is carefully dug up to destroy pests. Processing depth - up to 40 cm. Prepare landing hole up to 50 cm deep. The soil removed from it is mixed with fertilizers. For 1 m² of area you will need 10 kg of rotted manure or compost, superphosphate - 20–30 g, potassium sulfate -30 g.

Planting pattern:

For red currants, make a drainage layer at the bottom from broken bricks, pebbles or other material.
Then part of the prepared soil mixture is placed in a heap at the bottom of the hole. A bush is installed on it. They orient him to the cardinal points in the same way as he grew up in the same place.
They begin to fill the hole so that the bush is planted at approximately the same depth as it grew before. Root collar black currant should be 5 cm below soil level.
The bush is watered abundantly.
If the soil has subsided, then add more and compact it around the bush.
A layer of mulch is laid in the tree trunk area.

How to care after transplant

When planting in autumn, the main care is to water the bush up to 3 times a week. If it rains, no watering is needed. The next day, the soil is loosened to remove weeds and give air access to the soil. It is needed for the development of beneficial microorganisms.

In dry weather, be sure to spray the bush with a solution (1%). Copper ions contained in the preparation disinfect pathogenic microflora, protecting currants from diseases. For transplanted plants, the period when thaws are often replaced by frosts is difficult.

Hardening soil changes the position of the roots and can break them. To prevent this from happening, the frozen soil is covered with a layer of mulch. It will serve as insulation that will keep the soil stable. In the spring, after the air temperature becomes above zero, this layer is removed.

Did you know?The healing properties of currant fruits and leaves have long been known. They are used to improve appetite, normalize the functioning of the cardiovascular system and organs of vision.

Transplanting currants is in many ways similar to planting, with the exception of preparing the bush for the procedure and subsequent care for it. At the same time, it is important to remember that replanting is stressful for a plant, so carefully choose a place for growing and replant the plant only if it is absolutely necessary.
