Why young currants do not yield a harvest: here is what the bushes do not like

Summer residents who have planted currants are impatiently awaiting the first harvest, but it never comes.

There is one nuance that depends on the gardeners. If you violate it, you will have to wait longer for the first fruits.

Sometimes young bushes do not have time to form flower buds during the season. Then the bushes look healthy on the outside, but there is not a single berry on them.

What is important here is the conditions in which the currants grew. If the bushes were overfed in the nursery, then vegetative buds will be formed first, not flower buds.

By the way, a similar rule applies to other fruit plants, including gooseberries and raspberries.

In this case, nothing needs to be done. It is definitely not worth feeding the plants. If there was no harvest last season, then most likely the currant has already laid flower buds and should begin to bear fruit in the new year.

Some gardeners recommend pruning the bushes and waiting for the harvest next season.
