Every summer resident dreams of stocking up for the winter not with small sour berries, but with large and sweet currants.
The quality of the harvest is influenced not only by the gardener, but also by the variety he chooses. There are varieties that, with proper care, can surprise even experienced gardeners.
Seasoned summer residents named the best varieties of currants that give large fruits. The rating was compiled by the site " Marka Kachestva ".
"Selechenskaya"
The most popular variety among modern gardeners. The bushes tolerate both cold and heat well. One berry reaches 5 grams in weight. The taste is also excellent.
"Dobrynya"
It is not for nothing that the variety was named after the hero of the epics. The currant of this variety really has a “heroic” weight – up to 6.5 grams.
"Pygmy"
Summer residents put this variety in third place, but it surpasses "Dobrynya" in berry weight. Currant "Pigmey" reaches a weight of 7 grams.
But the variety has a downside. The bush is often affected by a fungal disease called septoria. The kidney mite also often attacks the "Pygmy", so the plant needs to be treated at the beginning of the season.
