If a bush starts to lose berries more actively than usual, then any summer resident will try to pay attention to this.

It may seem that the currants need our help.

In some cases, we can actually solve this problem by adjusting our usual care, explains Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer.

Why do the berries fall off the bush?

Lack of moisture

In most cases, this situation is typical for plants that do not receive the required amount of moisture. Therefore, it is worth assessing the condition of the soil immediately.

If it is dry, then it is worth watering and not allowing this situation to happen again.

Young bushes

It is important to understand that young plants are not always able to cope with the "load". In order to produce a harvest, they have to part with some of the berries.

In this case, no additional measures are required. When the currants get stronger, this feature will go away on its own.

Health

If you water your currants well and your bushes are not so young, then the reason for the loss of berries is their health. As a rule, we can talk about anthracnose.
