A Bucket of Berries per Bush: Just One Trick with Currants in June Guarantees a Rich Harvest
If you want to increase your blackcurrant harvest several times, don’t waste time and use the advice from experienced gardeners.
Thanks to this trick, which should definitely be done in June, the bushes growing on the plots of knowledgeable summer residents literally bend under the bunches of berries.
The explanation in this case is simple - it is during the first month of summer that the upper parts of two-year-old and three-year-old shoots actively grow on currant bushes.
This is where the berries will form next season.
Hence the conclusion: thanks to pinching, you can easily increase the yield of black currant bushes.
Please note: pruning is carried out when the upper parts of the green shoots become more than 10 cm.
After this, you can safely cut off the top of each shoot.
As a result, lateral shoots begin to actively grow in the upper part of the branch, which will bring you a lot of berries with the onset of next year.
