Good afternoon, my reader. The closer the fall, the more often the dacms think about planting new berry shrubs. Autumn - the most suitable time to disemboditate plants traditional for most gardens, like currant and gooseberry. The acquisition of their saplings is the responsible business. And it is necessary to approach him with all seriousness, because the crop will depend on the quality of the seedling.
It is important to acquire them in large stores where the goods come from nurseries. Sellers There are responsible for the goods sold. High-quality shoots must have elasticity and not to be superfluous if you bend them. But on the spontaneous street points of sale to buy them dangerous - it is quite possible to get a sick sapling or other, not the necessary variety.
In the autumn period, it is landed as annual and two-year plants. The latter are doing more easily, and fruiting begins earlier than at single-air.
Satisfactory quality of such a seedling can be determined by a number of signs:
- It must have a healthy branched root system with several (three or more) skeletal processes and multiple minor;
- roots should not be dry;
- The elevated part of the seedling should have even and flexible shoots with several kidneys on each;
- Signs of rotting or disease must be absent;
- The color of the bark of healthy seedlings - with a light brown tint.
- The kidneys should be without blooms - in such a kidnick tick can dine;
- The quality of the roots of a seedling selling with a closed root system cannot be visually determined, so you need to pay attention to the integrity of the container and soil to make sure that the seedling was grown in them, and not replanted immediately before selling.
Sometimes you can make a mistake and instead of black currant to buy red seedlings. You can distinguish the black currant from it, a slightly screamed surface layer of the crust. Under it should seem green core, having a resistant currant fragrance.
They should be healthy, have several shoots and have developed roots. You can check the latter, having riseningly by pulling the minor root processes - if they are immediately falling off, it will be evidence that the roots dried. It is better to refrain from buying such a product.
Buying seedlings, do not need to be shy to check with the seller some moments:
- Whether this variety is suitable for a specific climatic zone;
- whether he is frosting, as it tolerates dry weather;
- As far as it is resistant to plant diseases;
- When fruiting begins and how far the harvest is;
- What kind of processing can be berries.
Only by choosing high-quality seedlings, it will be possible to count on a rich berry yield. And regret the means spent on their acquisition, do not have to.
