reproduction gooseberry
For his breeding there are many ways: by seeds, arcuate, horizontal or vertical layering, dividing the parent bush, green, woody cuttings or combined. Scientists through many trials came to the conclusion that the combined multiplication by cuttings is the best method. Such seedlings start fruiting within a year after planting.
Propagated gooseberries in a new way. Since the early to mid-July, when the growth of shoots on the bushes adults is paused, you need to take cuttings. Time - the best for rooting cuttings.
On site prepared to do in the land of the groove depth of 8-12 cm and a shed water well. After a while, you need to shed a notch solution Kornevina.
The mother bush cutting cuttings must be healthy, not damaged diseases, pests, and no older than 8 years.
With selected gooseberry bush cuttings should be cut with 2-3 green shoots, put into prepared grooves and sprinkle the ground. Earth slightly compacted so as to obtain a small indentation around the planted cuttings. This will enable when watering not to spread the water. Green shoots with well cuttings also sprinkled the ground, forming around them a small earthen room. Now they are shortened to 3-5 cm and powdered ash. Place the cut thoroughly coated with ash hands to plants not contracted the disease. Now we need more time to water the planted cuttings, sprinkled with ash and wells zamulchirovat.

With this watering cuttings 2-3 weeks to begin the formation of roots. After 3 weeks, the amount of irrigation can be reduced to 1, and then it stopped altogether. By this time, kidneys on stalks go to the growth and reach the autumn of up to 10 cm.
After planting cuttings need to carry out feeding on the leaves aqueous solution of succinic acid to relieve stress and boron - for better development. It is several times to feed gooseberries liquid fertilizers. For this purpose, weed fermented infusion diluted mullein, aqueous wood ash or soot.
In October, the cuttings need to carefully dig up the shears and cut the number of shoots with roots. Seedlings are seated in the pre-prepared in fertilized well. Bushes spud the ground. On the ground under the winter seedlings need zamulchirovat sawdust layer to 5 cm and a wrap covering materials.
The following year, in early spring the young bushes need to pour hot water in order to remove them from pests. When warmed the earth, they are fed with liquid fertilizer. During the summer, their 3 times spud for a better rooting. The first time, when the height of the shoots reach 20 cm. And in the same year, it is already possible to form a bush.
There are many varieties of gooseberries, are rare, are difficult to find. Such cuttings can help grow any sort of gooseberry, which will bear fruit in exactly 2 years.
