Bushes of gooseberry can be propagated in various ways: by dividing the uterine bush, by layers, by seeds. But the easiest way is to vegetatively propagate gooseberries with green or lignified cuttings. The bush from which the cutting will be performed should not have visible lesions, and cuttings should be chosen even.
When to cut a gooseberry?
The best result is the reproduction of gooseberry cuttings in early spring even before the beginning of sap flow. Hardly only the snow in March begins to melt, you need to get out into the garden for planting material. You can cut very young cuttings. And you can, combined, with a base two years ago.
How in the spring to multiply gooseberries cuttings?
Cuttings should be cut from a bush not older than 10 years, ideally with an eight-year old. The length of each is about 20 cm on the branch must be present about five kidneys. Before planting in the soil (the most successful method), stork for the night soak in warm water with the addition of Kornevin or other root-forming additives.
In the yard you need to dig a groove about 30 cm long and fill it with large sand for good drainage. In it reclining at a large angle, the stalk is stacked so that one kidney protrudes above the ground.
Top of the gooseberry, planted with cuttings, is covered with a thick layer of humus. That's all, now it remains to wait for the next spring to transplant the young plants to their permanent place.
Reproduction of gooseberry cuttings by the matter is quite simple and not troublesome. For the entire summer season, they need to be watered and fed regularly for a more active build-up of the root system. This is best suited for ammonium nitrate (40 g) and superphosphate (20 g), which are diluted in 10 liters of water.
