The gooseberry is a popular plant among the summer houses because of its extreme fertility and unpretentiousness. Any frosts are not terrible to him, he practically does not need regular feeding and at the same time still brings a good crop. Perhaps the only thing that needs to be carried out regularly is a cropping gooseberry. This will allow to achieve a high harvest and protect the gooseberry from fungal diseases that provokes excessive thickening branches.
1
The gooseberry annually gives a good increase in new branches, which thickens him greatly. On the one hand, it creates certain difficulties in harvesting, it is poorly reflected on the shrub itself. There are a lot of ways to trim the gooseberry, but they all reduce the fact that the branches need to cut forward, giving access light and air, because the gooseberry is a light-affected plant.

Cutting the gooseberry can be carried out both in spring and autumn. In the spring of the formation of the branches, it makes sense to do it very early, since the gooseberry is one of the very first to awaken after the "winter hibernation". But if you delete branches already with discontinued leaves, you will significantly weaken the plant. In this case, it is advisable to be transferred to autumn when the harvest has long been completed, and the leaves fall out from the branches, the slotting ends.

Young gooseberry bushes are very short - each Escape on 4-5 kidneys. Every year the same trimming is produced on all new shoots, leaving 5-6 of them the strongest. Until full maturity, the bush will be formed in 4-5 years after landing. By this time, about 25 strong branches of different ages should be on the bush.

Aged the branches of the gooseberry begin at the age of seven-eight years. In this case, they should be updated, or translated into a fresh escape, growing as low as possible to the ground, or generally cut the old branch from the roots and form a new one, choosing the most promising from fresh frightened. Most berries grows on the branches of the first, second and third orders, so the branches of the fourth and fifth orders are removed immediately as useless and unpromising in the harvest plan.

If you have an old bush of the gooseberry on your site, it stands to rejuvenate radically: remove all the young piglets, leave 3-4 main branches - just choose the youngest, trim them briefly and start forming a bush from the very beginning. Every year it produces trimming up to 4-5 kidneys and choosing the strongest young shoots.
6
Regularly perform a sanitary trimming of a bush - remove all weak, dried, sore branches. If a small increase was formed on the branch, it means that it is weak and should be shortened to strengthen it. Check the branches on which there are no fruits - in the fall they should be cut to the root itself.
By bringing the gooseberry trimming, do not spare a bush, you save it from excess loads and allow all the forces to pay on the formation of berries. Correctly formed bush will bring a good harvest, even if less in the amount of berries, it is certainly better as the berries will be larger and more. And gaining full force, the bush thanks you, indeed, a large harvest.
