It often happens that there are an abundance of currant bushes on the plot, but there are almost no berries on them.
We will tell you about the reasons why currants may stop bearing fruit in this article.
Inappropriate lighting
Currant is a light-loving plant, but despite this, it cannot be grown in an open area flooded with sunlight. Instead, it is worth finding a place with delicate shade for the plant.
Soil structure
You can’t even dream of high yields if the soil is poor in microelements.
Many summer residents adhere to the following scheme when applying fertilizers: earlier in the spring, nitrogen-containing fertilizers are applied and the procedure is repeated after 2 weeks, during the formation of the ovary, the currants are “treated” with organic matter, and 21 days before the first frost, they are fertilized with potassium-phosphorus preparations.
If the soil is acidic, this indicator should be normalized. This can be done by adding slaked lime.
Growing bushes
The age of the plants also affects their ability to bear fruit. If you used to collect a lot of berries from a bush, but then something changed, try rejuvenating pruning.
If the procedure does not produce the desired result, you will have to get rid of the bush and plant a young seedling in its place.
