An ordinary currant bush has a not quite ordinary attitude to their cultivation. It should be planted at an angle. Gardening experts told why this should be done.

Peculiarities of currants

When propagating currant bushes by cuttings, you can see in the recommendations the need for planting at an angle of 45 degrees. This advice is not random or whimsical.

If you plant a currant at just such an angle, it will give side shoots quite quickly. If this is not done, it will grow for a long time with only one trunk.

In the first year of the appearance of the correct shoots, you can expect their fruiting. For this to really happen, do not forget to regularly water the young plant. But first, then the amount of water is reduced. Otherwise, the berries will crack a lot.
