Yoshta is a berry obtained by crossing gooseberries and black currants. This man-made hybrid turned out to be quite powerful, frost-resistant and resistant to the negative influence of various pests, including kidney mites. The plant is not susceptible to powdery mildew and other serious diseases. Yoshta bushes grow very quickly. Moreover, the length of their shoots reaches a height of about one and a half meters, and the thorns on them, in contrast to the gooseberry, are absent.
Each yoshta brush consists of rather large flowers in the amount of 4-5 pcs.
The berries are several times larger than the size of black currants, although outwardly they are very similar to each other. One berry weighs about 3-5 g. The fruits have a smooth and dense skin. Even after ripening, they do not fall to the ground, but continue to hang on the bush. The taste of yoshta berries is sweet and sour, reminiscent of both currants and gooseberries. The life span of a shrub with proper care is 20-30 years.
Growing features
A hybrid of currant and gooseberry yoshta can be planted both in spring and autumn. If planting is carried out in spring, the seedlings root well. Moreover, the first fruits can be obtained as early as next year. When planting yoshta in early autumn, fruiting can also be expected next year, however, if the seedling has time to take root before the onset of cold weather.
The site chosen for planting should be well lit by the sun. It must first be dug up and introduced into the soil:
- lime (approximately 400g / m2);
- manure or rotted compost (1-2 buckets);
- potassium sulfate and superphosphate (100 g each).
Yoshta is planted in rows. The distance between the seedlings should be at least 2 meters, and the gap between the bushes in a row should be 1-1.5 m. The depth of the hole should correspond to the root system of the seedling. Before planting, a so-called chatterbox is made in the recess, consisting of fertile soil and water. The seedling is not lowered and the roots are wrapped around the roots with uniform movements. After that, the pit is covered with earth, watered and compacted a little.
Tip: In order to ensure high yoshta yields, do not plant black currants or gooseberries near. Thus, its high-quality pollination is ensured.
How to care for yoshta?
The cultivation of yoshta involves the obligatory mulching of the soil. This operation contributes to the creation of optimal moisture, which is very important for this plant. At the same time, you do not have to loosen the soil after each watering of the plants. Yoshta pruning technology is almost the same as for black currant. But since yoshta has longer and more powerful shoots, there are some differences: overgrown branches must be shortened, transferring them to a weaker branch, which is located higher. If you do not prune yoshta in the spring, the shoots under heavy load can lie on the ground, which will negatively affect the quality of the crop.
In order to improve the taste of yoshta berries, special feeding should be done annually. The first is done in early June. It includes the introduction of organic matter (4-6 kg / m2) and superphosphate (30 g / m2). With the second top dressing, which is performed in the fall, calcium sulfate (20 g / m2) is added to the soil. An alternative to mineral fertilizers is: in summer - bird droppings or mullein diluted with water (1:10), in autumn - wood ash (0.5 l / m2).
Reproduction methods
There are different ways of reproduction of yoshta: with the help of cuttings, layering, dividing the bush, as well as sowing seeds. If you need to transplant an old bush, use the method of dividing the bush. The division of the shrub into parts is carried out in such a way that each contains a developed root system and has at least two shoots. This method is quite effective, but very laborious. Fruiting can be expected in the second year.
Propagating yoshta by cuttings can speed up the production of its seedlings. Cuttings of about 10-15 cm in length are cut from the upper branches of the shrub three times during the summer. All leaves, with the exception of a few upper ones, are removed. So that the plant can take root faster, one longitudinal small incision is made at the top of each bud, and two or three at the bottom. The cuttings are washed with clean water and planted in greenhouses, having previously covered the soil with a ten-centimeter layer of fine sand. Plants are planted tightly and at an angle (45 °). Planted cuttings should be watered regularly. They take root approximately two weeks after planting, while a fibrous root system is formed.
For reproduction using horizontal or arcuate layers, one-year shoots or two-year branches are required. The soil near the plant must first be dug up and leveled. Further, the processes are tilted and sprinkled in pre-made grooves. After the length of young shoots reaches 15 cm, they are sprinkled with fertile soil or humus. Agronomists recommend separating and replanting cuttings in the spring.
What variety to plant on a site in the suburbs?
Yoshta looks very beautiful and can decorate any backyard or summer cottage with her appearance. Since planting and caring for it is simple, many amateur agronomists prefer it to currants and gooseberries. To date, there are not so many hybrids of this plant, and everyone chooses for himself the variety of yoshta, the fruits of which he likes most.
Among the varieties of yoshta for the Moscow region, the following can be highlighted:
- EMB. Her homeland is England. Wide bushes both in length and in width reach about two meters. The taste and color of the berries is more similar to gooseberries than currants. The shrub is resistant to the harmful effects of various diseases and insects;
- Yohini. A fairly tall plant (height - about 2 m) with very sweet berries, which taste very different from both currants and gooseberries;
- Crown. Bred by scientists in Sweden. Straight shrub with 1.5 m long shoots. Each branch may have several clusters containing 5-6 fruits. It is very often used as a hedge, as well as for landscaping areas;
- Rekst. Bred by breeders of Russia. Has excellent taste and high density of berries. Often used for landscaping areas. If the shrub is grown for the purpose of harvesting berries, then only thinning is done.
New varieties
Recently, columnar yoshta has become very popular. This plant is small and compact. Its height is up to 2 m. The berries ripen in July. They are quite large and very tasty. The plant requires constant maintenance of soil moisture. With proper care and growing yoshta, you can get a fairly high yield - up to 10 kg from one bush. In addition to being consumed raw, it is also used to make juices and jams.
Many people prefer to grow Yoshta Moro on their plots. The shrub can reach a height of 2.5m. The berries are dark, almost black, rather large - the size of a cherry. They have a sweet and sour taste and a pleasant nutmeg aroma. Yoshta Key Royal bushes are sprawling and powerful. The length of the shoots can be 1.5 m. Large berries are dark brown in color and have a sweet taste with a slight acidity. From one bush, you can collect 8-10 kg of fruit.
Beneficial features
- Vitamin C, contained in yoshta in large quantities, has a beneficial effect on human immunity. Therefore, doctors recommend the use of berries for the prevention and treatment of various colds.
- It increases the level of hemoglobin in the blood, therefore it is recommended to use it in the treatment of anemia.
- Helps to normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Recommended for diarrhea, constipation and other types of stomach upset.
- Doctors advise hypertensive patients to consume yoshta berries, pre-mixing them with honey.
- Phytoncides, which are part of the fetus, help well not only in the fight against colds, but also relieve various inflammatory processes in the body, and also destroy microbial infections.
- The beneficial properties of yoshta also lie in its rich mineral composition. For example, the presence of vitamin P, as well as berry anthocyanins, improve blood circulation and strengthen blood vessels.
- Since the berry contains a small amount of sugar, it is beneficial for people with diabetes.
- Very often, yoshta fruits are introduced into the diet of people who are obese or are simply trying to bring their figure back to normal. After all, the berry helps to accelerate metabolic processes, and also burns fat reserves.
- When using yoshta, the excretory system is stimulated, as a result of which toxins and radionuclides are removed from the body.
Tip: Yoshta fruits can be stored for a long time if they are frozen in the freezer or dried in a special electric dryer. At the same time, all its useful substances are preserved.
However, there are also some contraindications. People who are allergic to vitamin C, as well as those who have been diagnosed with a tendency to form blood clots, are prohibited from eating this berry. Also, experts recommend giving up the use of yoshta for diseases such as ulcers and colitis, as well as if the body reacts negatively to the use of black currants or gooseberries. Lovers of these tasty and healthy fruits should also be careful to eliminate the risk of developing an allergic reaction.

Recently, new items have been increasingly found in the assortment of planting material, for example, yoshta - a hybrid of currants with gooseberries.
Its name comes from the German words: black currant - uohannisBeere, and gooseberry - stachelVeege.
Two initial letters are taken from the first name, and three from the second. It turned out yo-sta (yoshta).
Few gardeners decided to try this novelty and plant a shrub on their site. And those who nevertheless did this did not come to an unambiguous answer.
In this article, we will try to disassemble all the pros and cons of an outlandish berry.
Yoshta's first impressions
To answer the question of what it has more pluses or minuses, it is best to grow it on your site, and then make your own opinion about this new product. It was painfully interesting for me to try it myself. And four years ago, at a gardening fair, I still managed to buy two bushes of this berry.
- Considering the future solid dimensions of the plant (they promised up to 2 m in height), I dug a hole slightly larger than for currants (60 × 60 cm).
- I filled in garden soil with the addition of humus and superphosphate, threw in two shovels of ash, planted it, watered it well.
Its first plus - its lack of a thrashing - I noticed already when landing. This is not for you! In addition, the branches are very plastic, they do not react at all to mechanical damage.
The first year disappointed me. The bush came out of wintering in some kind of collapsed, long branches literally lay on the ground, sluggish and inelastic. All summer it was a wreck, did not rise. No decorativeness! Yes, and Yoshta refused to bear fruit in the first year. I even thought: “I'll give her one more year, and then we'll see. If she behaves in the same way, I will remove her from the site - period! "
Waiting for the Yoshta harvest
But the next year Yoshta made me happy. The bush took shape, became slender, strong, and in the same year began to bear fruit. The berries are black, large, smooth, with a dense skin. The taste is very pleasant, a cross between currants and gooseberries. But the yield upset me - there is no such clarity as the “ancestors”. That year, I collected only one and a half glasses of berries from two bushes. Now, however, more - from one plant it turns out about 2 liters. But, of course, this cannot be called a harvest. I live in hope - after all, in the literature they write that from one bush they collect from 6 to 10 kg of berries! Nevertheless, we eat it with great pleasure - especially our grandchildren.
Not so long ago I read that the yield of yoshta can be increased by planting gooseberries and black currants next to her parents. Now I am looking for where to dig new holes.
Yoshta care, cultivation features
She hibernates without problems. In the 4 years that Yoshta has lived in my garden, young shoots have froze only once. But she recovered surprisingly quickly. In the literature, however, it is recommended to cover with spruce branches for the winter, but I do not see such a need. The bushes are quite young and hibernate almost under the snow. The only thing I definitely do is sprinkle the roots at the base with 2-3 buckets of humus or compost. I loosen and weed with great care so as not to damage the roots.
Yoshta is hygrophilous. If it is not watered for a long time, the bushes will turn yellow and take on a sad look. But after abundant watering, they will come to life again. Yoshta is immune to powdery mildew, anthracosis, kidney mites. She loves to eat very much, especially organic matter - in addition to humus, which I sprinkle at her feet, I give fertilizing with slurry twice a season. I also give mineral fertilizing - at the beginning of the season I water it with an ash solution (1.5-2 shovels of ash per bucket of water).
In my plans, given the rather decorative look of yoshta, to create it out of it. Propagating yoshta for such a purpose will not be a problem - it takes root perfectly by layering. In the literature, they write about propagation by green and lignified cuttings, but it seemed to me that layering is much simpler and more effective. In general, despite many negative reviews, I am happy with my yoshta. And beautiful, and without problems, and delicious.
We gladly consume the harvested berries fresh, stocking up on vitamins for the winter. Yoshta makes very tasty blanks - jam, jelly, confitures, but we like it just like that - from a bush.
Pruning yoshta
For this gooseberry / blackcurrant hybrid, annual moderate thinning pruning is sufficient to get the leaves more air and sunlight. As with gooseberries and currants, thinning should be done immediately after harvest. Those who do not have time to trim during this period can carry out it in winter. Interfering, hanging shoots can be shortened, but it is better to replace them with new ones.
A common lopper is suitable for pruning old shoots at the base.
Yoshta's taste is a good mix of gooseberry and black currant. Yoshta bushes with much stronger growth should be planted at a distance of 2.5 m, or even better 3 m from each other. Since yoshta bushes grow faster than currant bushes, they are pruned too much by mistake. In this case, longer shoots are often shortened. As a result, shoot growth is enhanced, which negatively affects the setting of flowers and fruits. For this type of berries, shaping (often a trellis hedge) is especially recommended. Yoshta is resistant to American powdery mildew, the berries have a mild, impatient taste, so they can be eaten raw with pleasure.

The hybrid developed 30 years ago continues to win the hearts of gardeners. In yoshta there is something from the gooseberry, but rather, it looks like a currant. The hybrid almost does not lend itself to any fungal diseases and pests do not care for it. Unlike currants, it can grow even in arid regions.
A great advantage of yoshta is that its berries ripen unevenly, and when harvesting, you will hardly be able to find rotten fruits.
There are several ways to cultivate a plant. Cuttings, layering or seeds, each method has its own recommendations and rules.
Planting such an interesting shrub on your site will not be a difficult task. We will share the secrets of how to propagate yoshta and how to plant it correctly in this article.
Did you know? For better yoshta growth, plant a gooseberry or currant bush next to it.
By dividing the yoshta bush
Yoshta propagation by dividing the bush is very popular among gardeners. This method is used exclusively in the fall, when there is a need for propagation of the bush. It is not necessary to drag out for a long time after the extraction of the roots.
First you need to carefully dig up the shrub without damaging its rhizomes. Next, clean the roots from the earthen coma, separate them with a sharp knife. When dividing, it is necessary to leave two or three strong branches on the tuber. The roots should be large, developed, not damaged.
The sections on the cuts need to be wiped with crushed coal, after which they are ready for planting. Take care of your new landing site in advance. The seedling holes are dug to a depth of half a meter and about 50 cm in diameter. A third of the fossa is filled with a mixture humus, superphosphate and wood ash.
Then half the hole is sprinkled with earth and watered abundantly. After the water is absorbed, we plant a yoshta in the center of the hole and bury the hole completely. The name yoshta comes from two German words: yohannisBeere - currant and stachelBeere - gooseberry, Yo-Sta.
Did you know? With proper care, you can harvest more than 8 kg of berries from one bush!
Propagation of yoshta by layering
One of the easiest ways to reproduce yoshta is with layering. You can propagate by horizontal, vertical or arcuate layering. The difference between the methods is not big, but almost all of them give one hundred percent germination result.
Horizontal and arcuate layering
There is little difference between these two ways of yoshta breeding. First, let's figure out how to plant yoshta horizontal lay... In the spring, as soon as the ground becomes warm, the first step is to dig up the soil near the plant.
It is advisable to remove all weeds and add compost or other organic fertilizer to the soil. Also, the ground must be carefully leveled around the bush.
Then we make shallow grooves opposite the shoots you have chosen. Seedlings should be one-year or two-year old, with well-developing growths. Gently bending the branch, place it in the groove, fasten it and sprinkle it lightly with earth. An ordinary slingshot will help to keep the branch painless on the ground.
When the shoots reach a height of about 10-15 cm, they are sprinkled with wet earth or humus to the middle of the sprout. It is best to separate the mother branch and transplant new layers in the spring of next year, despite the fact that the first roots appear in a month.
When breeding a bush arcuate method a similar method is used. Only the branch does not completely fit into the ground, forming an arc. The middle part of the branch is buried to a depth of about 15 cm, leaving only the top outside. Using this method, it is also worth separating the branch and replanting the shoots only after a year.
When grown in horizontal and arcuate layers, after separation from the parent branch, they grow much faster. After planting such shoots, you can get a bountiful harvest in the third year.
Did you know?Sometimes yoshta is used only to decorate the garden.
If you decide to propagate a shrub vertical layering, then you need to start this in early spring. Trim the mother shrub shortly, leaving shoots no higher than 15 cm. With careful care and watering, you will get abundant growth and many young shoots in the near future. Regular watering and organic fertilizing will help you with this.
For the first time, it is necessary to spud the shoots when they grow up to about 15 cm. The bush must be spud in the center with damp earth or compost. In order to prevent the branches from converging, the earthen embankment must be dense. Repeat the procedure after three weeks. It is best to carry out hilling after rain.
When you sprinkle the yoshta a second time, water the soil abundantly. Cuttings are cut for planting only the next year in early spring or autumn.
Propagation of yoshta by cuttings
Another way to reproduce yoshta is by cuttings. There are two types of vegetation by cuttings: woody and green... Shoot harvesting methods differ from each other. How to propagate yoshta by cuttings is described below.
Woody cuttings
For reproduction of yoshta with lignified cuttings, it is recommended to choose ripe shoots of two to three-year branches. It is best to do harvesting at the end of September, because the cuttings planted during this period have time to take root perfectly and will endure the winter period without any problems. On the day of cutting, yoshta shoots should be divided into cuttings up to 20 cm long, leaving 5-6 buds on each. The upper part of the shoot is made oblique to the bud.
Planting cuttings should be carried out on the day of harvesting. The soil for yoshta should be dug deep, free of weeds, and most importantly, well leveled. Cuttings are planted in beds at a distance of 15 cm from each other. The distance between the beds should be at least 60 cm.
Cuttings are planted at an angle of 45 degrees. Moreover, two buds should remain on the surface, and one should be at ground level. The soil around the seedlings is pressed tightly to avoid the formation of voids. After that, the beds should be watered abundantly and sprinkled with peat.
Important! If for some reason you postpone planting, then the cuttings can be stored in the cellar by burying them in wet sand. But in the spring it is better not to delay planting. As soon as the weather permits, plant the cuttings in the garden beds!
Green cuttings
Propagation by green cuttings is considered one of the fastest ways to get yoshta seedlings. Choose tall, healthy bushes for harvesting. Cuttings can be cut from an overgrown mother plant several times over the summer. The first time in early June from the upper branches, the second - after regrowth and better from the lateral branches, the third time - in early September.
Rarely found in our gardens, it is more common among Western gardeners. This plant is special because it does not exist in nature. Yoshta is a product of human selection work, obtained as a result of crossing and of two species - spread wide and ordinary.
Scientists have been trying to create such a hybrid for a long time, and finally, in 1970, luck smiled at the German breeder Rudolf Bauer - yoshta appeared. Such an unusual name was formed from German words: black currant ( johannisbeere) and gooseberry ( stachelbeere). The word yoshta came from the initial letters of these names.
Description of the plant
She turned out to be different from her parents: this plant is quite impressive and beautiful. Yoshta forms majestic shrubs up to 2.5 m in diameter with long, spreading shoots that do not have thorns. A great advantage of yoshta is weak shoots, as a result of which the plant does not need to be subjected to increased pruning.
Yoshta leaves are more like gooseberry leaves, but much more, and they do not have a currant aroma. The flowers are large and brighter than those of the parents, the berries are almost black with a purple tinge of thick skin. They sit very firmly on the stalks of 3-5 pieces. The taste is sweet-sour, slightly nutmeg.
Growing Yoshta
Since yoshta has a weak frost resistance, it must be planted in a place protected from cold winds. Any soil will do - in this respect, yoshta is unpretentious. But if it is grown for harvesting, it is better to add organic matter to the planting pit - or. Planting is carried out in early spring or autumn.Care
Yoshta care is simple. Pruning is carried out mainly only sanitary, in early spring. In dry summers, the bushes are watered. In the summer they are fed with mullein infusion, in the fall - or infusion. Yoshta grows quickly and begins to bear fruit from the third year. The yield is about 7 kg per bush.Unlike its parents, Yoshta is resistant to many diseases and, for example, to, which is very harmful to currants, and to gooseberries. The life span of the bush is 20-30 years.

Reproduction of yoshta
To obtain new plants, yoshta is propagated by cuttings and layering. Lignified cuttings can be taken after autumn pruning, they are cut into about 15-17 cm. It is important that there are 4 buds on the cuttings: when planting, two buds are buried in the ground, and the other two are left on the surface. The soil for the cuttings should be loose and nutritious. The cuttings are planted at an inclination of 45 °.Green cuttings are carried out in the summer, cutting off the tops of the shoots by 12-15 cm. Leaves are removed from the planting material, only the top two are left. It is better to plant the cuttings in a special cuttings under the shelter.

The soil is prepared loose, a layer of washed sand is laid on top. Cuttings are also planted obliquely, close to each other. The planting should be sprayed as often as possible. After 3-4 weeks, the root system is formed. Transplanting to a permanent place is best done the next year.
The easiest way to reproduce is by arcuate layering. For this, use the longest two-year shoots. The soil around the plant is carefully loosened, weeds are removed, grooves are made in which shoots are placed, pinning them with wire, and sprinkled with earth. Rooted cuttings are planted for the next year.

Features of growing yoshta |
Yoshta is a powerful, unpretentious plant. Yoshta is photophilous. Yoshta is moisture-loving (the yield depends on moisture). Yoshta is frost and winter hardy (practically does not freeze). Yoshta is not demanding on soil fertility (it grows well in bad weather).Yoshta is a sprawling perennial shrub obtained by crossing currants with gooseberries. It can reach one and a half or two meters in height. There are no thorns on the stems of the plant. This is how the yoshta plant differs from the gooseberry. Planting and caring for this representative of the flora is simple and easy. The leaves of the shrub are shiny, dark green in color and large in size. They do not fall off for the winter. The berries of this representative of the flora are very large, with a bloom of purple. The plant is great for growing in a country house or a garden plot.
The hybrid is propagated in the same ways as currants and gooseberries: cuttings, as well as layering, horizontal and vertical. Basically, gardeners use the cuttings method of propagation. To do this, it is necessary to prepare lignified cuttings about one centimeter thick and about 15 centimeters long. The upper cut of the cutting should be above the bud, and the lower should be located below it. To accelerate root formation, special stimulating solutions are used, which can be bought at any garden store. The cuttings are planted in soft, loose soil, trying to keep the upper bud no higher than 1.5 centimeters above the soil level. Then the soil must be tamped and watered abundantly. Yoshta has a high survival rate. It is advisable to plant the planting material in the middle of autumn, so that by the beginning of the spring season the bush has already taken root.
... They can be used for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, to improve blood circulation and the rapid removal of heavy metals and toxic substances from the body.
Like any other plant, yoshta requires some care and supervision.

The green stalk is cut 10-15 cm long (depending on the growth). After cutting, the cuttings are prepared for planting: the lower leaves are removed, leaving 2-3 upper leaves, which are also partially shortened. For better and faster rooting, a light longitudinal incision is made above each bud, and 3-4 such incisions are made in the lower part of the cutting. Before planting, for better rooting, the lower ends of the cuttings are immersed in a rooting agent (growth stimulator) solution for 6-12 hours. Then the cuttings, washed in clean water, are planted in cold greenhouses prepared in advance.

The size (width and depth) of the planting hole should be such that the roots are located in it correctly, according to their shape.
Features of buying yoshta seedlings
Requirements for purchased seedlings:
It is a perennial thornless shrub, a hybrid of black currant and gooseberry. Bushes are powerful, spreading. They have great vigor of growth and form shoots with a height of 1.5 m and more.
Yoshta berry - planting and care
The best time to plant seedlings in the ground is late August or early September. Rooted seedlings are placed in the ground at a distance of about two meters from each other. In this case, the yoshta bushes will grow without disturbing the neighbors. The wells should be 60 cm in diameter and 40 cm deep. About 8 kg of organic fertilizer, 50 g of potassium sulfate and about 100-150 g of superphosphate are added to the planting hole.
Also, yoshta is great for use in landscaping, for example, for making hedges. Yoshta is planted at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other, in a line. The plant can also be included in mixed borders, or grow plants one at a time, arranging a kind of wild garden on the territory.
So, it is obligatory to mulch the soil under the crown of the shrub and in the area of the trunk. This will create a favorable nutrient regime in the soil, prevent moisture evaporation, weed growth, and reduce the need for soil loosening. Experienced summer residents are advised to use peat or humus for mulch. Each yoshta bush requires up to 20 kg of mulch. Fertilizing yoshta is also a mandatory part of a bush care program. In the first few years, the fertilizer rate is in each year: 4-5 kilograms of organic fertilizers, 20 g of potassium sulfate and 30-40 g of superphosphate for each square meter of growth. Starting from the fourth year, 4-6 kg of organic fertilizer, 24 g of potassium sulfate and no more than 30 g of simple superphosphate. It is required to feed yoshta with the same complex of fertilizers as currants.
The whole point of summer cottage work is to give birth to a wonderful-looking flower garden or grow trees and shrubs that, after a long time of care, fertilization, pruning and other manipulations, can please the owner with their fresh and juicy fruits. But, in our time, everything is changing a little and not every summer resident grows only classic crops on his own plot - apples, pears, peaches, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, and so on. There are also those people who like to experiment with varieties and plant their plantations with interesting plants, which are considered an unidentified rarity in this or that territory. It is about such a culture that we will talk today.
Cuttings cut and planted in greenhouses until mid-summer will have a developed root system by the end of summer and can be transplanted to a separate area for growing. Cuttings cut and planted in a greenhouse in autumn are left in greenhouses until next spring. In the spring, they are also transplanted for growing.
Choosing a site for planting yoshta.
For propagation with woody cuttings, well-ripened annual shoots (from 2-4-year-old branches) are taken.
Used when a sufficiently mature bush requires a transplant.
Yoshta landing.
When planting yoshta as a fruit crop, the distance between the bushes should be 1.5-2 meters. When using yoshta as a green fence, the seedlings are planted at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other.
The younger the seedling, the easier and easier it is to take root.
The leaves are shaped like black currant leaves, but no aroma. The berries are black, with a purple bloom, have a very dense skin, the size and shape resemble a dark gooseberry. Yoshta is practically not sick.
The berries are planted on a flat, well-lit area. It is best to plant the plant in mid-autumn. For this, pits are prepared with a depth of 40 cm, with a diameter of about 60 cm. The distance between the bushes should be about one and a half meters so that the yoshta plant feels spaciously. Planting and caring for it requires the introduction of fertilizers into the planting recess and subsequent mulching. Up to 10 kg of organic matter, 200 g of superphosphate, as well as potash fertilizers - 60 g are added to the finished pit. The soil under the plant's trunk must be mulched using peat or humus for this. If you plant currants and gooseberries next to yoshta, then it will develop well and bear fruit.
Experienced gardeners advise planting gooseberries and
Various varieties of yoshta can be used at your own discretion, it is worth paying attention to which variety is suitable for growing yoshta in your climate. Further, you will only need to buy yoshta and plant it on the territory of your summer cottage, and in a few years a wonderful bush will be able to please you with delicious berries and the beauty of a stately bush.
There is nothing difficult in pruning yoshta. The same techniques should be applied to the shrub that are used when pruning currant and gooseberry bushes.
I would like to pay attention to yoshta - a shrub, which is a relatively new, unique, high-vitamin, berry crop
Pruning yoshta.
Cuttings should be planted obliquely almost close to each other at a distance of 3-4 cm. Between the greenhouse film and the cuttings there should be a free space 15-20 cm high.After planting, the cuttings are thoroughly and abundantly watered from a watering can with a very fine strainer. It is very important that the water does not flow in a continuous stream, but splashes out. After watering, the greenhouse is covered with foil.
Top dressing of yoshta.
It is better to cut shoots on cuttings in the fall in the second half of September, planted during this period they have time to take root well and overwinter safely.
When dividing a bush, it is necessary to ensure that each new part of the plant has a well-developed root system and a healthy aerial part (1-2 shoots). Parts of a bush with old rhizomes should not be taken, they are destroyed.
The planting hole is dug 50-60 cm deep, 50 cm wide in diameter, depending on the size of the root system of the seedling.
Reproduction of yoshta.
When buying a seedling, they pay attention not to the height of the shoots, but to the quality of the root system, which should be powerful and healthy. The roots must be fresh and moist. If the roots are dry and chapped, then the seedling may take root, but will grow slowly.
Yoshta has large flowers, 3-5 in a brush. One of the most picky plants is yoshta. Planting and caring for it is quite simple. If there is a lack of natural moisture, the plant needs to be watered, removed weeds and fed. For the first three years, the yoshta is not cut off. After three years of age, dry branches are cut from the shrub. In their place, new ones will grow. The maximum yield of this species is achieved in the fifth year of life.
Black currant
Many gardeners are familiar with this plant, which is a hybrid of currants and gooseberries. Yoshta has been known for a very long time and combines the best qualities of both parents. Since this plant is quite unpretentious, even the laziest summer resident can grow it in the garden and enjoy delicious fruits. Yoshta propagation can occur by cuttings and offspring.
... In fact, yoshta is the result of many years of work and many breeders who have worked to create a new shrub, crossing currants and gooseberries. Through their work, scientists tried to improve the qualities of the currant, namely, to increase its size, increase the yield, and get rid of a number of plant diseases. At the same time, their task was to rid the new hybrid of the gooseberry spines.
The main care of cuttings is regular watering (at first it is important that the air in the greenhouses is warm and humid) and airing the greenhouses when the temperature in them rises above 25 °.
On the same day, the workpieces are cut into cuttings 15-20 cm long, with 5-6 buds. The uppermost unripe part of the shoot should not be taken for cuttings. The upper cut on the handle is made oblique, to the kidney, the lower one under the kidney. Planting is carried out on the day of harvesting the cuttings. For propagation by horizontal and arcuate layering
Compost or humus (half a bucket), 100 grams of superphosphate and wood ash, a half-liter jar are added to the hole.
The bark on the trunk and on the branches of the seedling should not be wrinkled (otherwise the seedling was dug up long ago and had time to dry). By pinching off a small piece of bark, you can find out if the seedling is alive (if a green bottom is exposed, then the seedling is alive, if brown - then dead). The berries are black, oval, large. They ripen at the end of July and do not crumble until late autumn. The berries are larger than the berries of the smo homeland. They have a pleasant, reminiscent of black currants and gooseberries, sweet and sour taste, slightly with nutmeg aroma.
Yoshta berry propagation
- this will help to achieve a stable good harvest.
Yoshta refers to berry crops. This is an artificially bred sprawling shrub that exceeds two meters in height and reaches three meters in width. The leaves of this plant resemble gooseberry in shape, but their size is much larger, they do not fall off for a long time and do not have a tart currant smell. Yoshta, unlike gooseberry, has no thorns at all.
It is possible to plant a shrub in the ground in the spring or early autumn, but many argue that the best period for planting will be late August or early September. More information about planting shrubs in the fall - in the material "Autumn planting of shrubs". Yoshta seedlings should be placed in the ground at a distance of at least 1.5-2.5 m from each other.
Yoshta is a wonderful shrub for a summer residence So, apparently, one should start with a complete description of the plant, which many are already growing in the country, and many just want to get acquainted with it for planting on the site. Yoshta is a perennial, tall, spreading berry bush. Possessing increased vigor, yoshta shoots can reach a height of one and a half meters. It is noteworthy that on yoshta, unlike gooseberries, there are no thorns at all. The leaves of the plant are dark green, large, shiny, do not fall off for a long time and do not contain the aroma of currants. Yoshta blooms are yellow, with large and bright flowers. The berry is large, black, with a slight touch of purple. The taste is sweet and sour, mainly contained in the thick rind of the berry.
Three to four weeks after planting, cuttings root well in greenhouses. Next, the film is slightly opened during the day, and then, when the cuttings have passed some hardening, the greenhouse is left open for the night. 7-10 days after rooting of the cuttings, the film is removed altogether.
In a well-prepared soil (dug up, clean from weeds, leveled), cuttings are planted in rows with a distance of 60-70 cm between them, and in a row of 10-15 cm at an angle of approximately 45 °. 2 buds are left at the top, and one of them should be at the level of the soil. The earth around the cuttings is tightly squeezed so that there are no voids, it is well watered and mulched with clean peat. It is better to take well-developed annual shoots and biennial branches with strong growths on young bushes. Layers are best done in early spring, as soon as the soil permits. The soil under the bushes intended for layering must be well dug up and leveled in advance.
All fertilizers are well mixed with ordinary soil so as to fill the hole with it by 1/3 of the volume. Then a layer of ordinary earth is poured up to half the volume of the pit. Pour out a bucket of water. When the water is absorbed, a seedling is placed on top, in the middle of the pit. They straighten its roots so that emptiness does not form. The hole is completely covered with ordinary soil (from the upper layer).
When buying a seedling in the fall, the existing leaves on the branches are carefully removed without damaging the buds on the leaf axils.
Yoshta's first harvest appears 3-4 years after planting. The bush bears fruit well in one place for 15-20 years.
This representative of the flora propagates by cuttings, which should be woody. Two cuts are made on them: at the top of the seedling (above the bud) and below (under the bud). The length of the cuttings should be about 15 cm, and the thickness should be 1 cm. They are planted in the prepared soil so that the upper bud does not rise more than 2 cm above the ground level. The planted plant must be watered in a timely manner. If you plant cuttings in the fall, then in the spring they will begin to actively develop and grow. From one bush, you can collect about 10 kg of berries with a normal harvest.
Yoshta berries ripen fully by mid-July. Since they are collected in tassels, they do not ripen at the same time and therefore are on the bush for a long time. The fruits of this plant are suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for cooking compotes, preserves, jam, jam.
Yoshta blooms with large green-yellow flowers, and its berries are large and black, outwardly similar to currants. They have the peculiarity of not crumbling for a long time. A hybrid of currants and gooseberries ripens in early August and has a high yield. Berries can be consumed both in natural form and after processing. Yoshta contains a large amount of vitamin C, organic acids, pectin and sugar. Berries help to remove radioactive substances and salts of heavy metals from the human body, improve blood circulation and heal diseases of the intestines and stomach.
Before planting yoshta in the ground, the ground should be dug up and thoroughly processed. For each square meter, about 400 g of lime, 100-120 g of superphosphate, 80-100 g of potassium sulfate and about 10 kg of organic fertilizer are applied. When filling the planting hole - about 8 kg of organic fertilizer, 150 g of superphosphate and 40-50 g of potassium sulfate. It is highly advisable to observe the correct parameters for planting bushes on the territory, this will enable the yoshta to grow arbitrarily, without catching neighboring bushes. Yoshta is planted in holes with a diameter of 60 cm and a depth of 40 cm. The distance between the bushes is at least 1.5 meters.
Yoshta is rich in vitamins and, in some of its properties, at times overtakes currants.
Three-week-old cuttings, when properly cared for, form a good fibrous root system. The survival rate of cuttings in some varieties reaches 70-100%.
If the planting of cuttings is postponed to spring, then it is better to prepare them from autumn to spring in the basement, in wet sand. In spring, cuttings should be planted as early as possible, as soon as the soil allows.
After that, shallow grooves are made in the soil from the base of the bush, into which young shoots are bent and pinned. The tops of the latter are slightly pinched. When 10-12-centimeter young green shoots develop from the buds of the allotted branches, they are sprinkled up to half the height with moist fertile soil or humus. After 15-20 days, when the shoots grow another 10-15 cm, the powder is repeated.

The hybrid is undemanding to growing conditions, easy to care for, practically not damaged by pests and diseases.Yoshta is one of the most worthy hybrids with delicious fruits.
Any summer resident or owner of a personal plot can plant this beautiful and useful plant and enjoy delicious berries in a few years. Another no less interesting shrub for your site - Beautiful tall yoshta bushes can be used in landscape design, for example, to make a hedge out of it. For this, the plants are planted about half a meter from each other.
Yoshta is a useful and beautiful shrub
Yoshta berries fully ripen within 2-3 weeks. The mass of each of them is quite large, from 3 g to 7 g. Since the berries, which are collected in small clusters, ripen at different times, it is quite possible that they will remain on the bush for a long time. In any case, the Shrub is self-pollinated, easily survives the frosty winter and does not suffer from diseases. Fruiting in the 3-4th year after planting, but does not reduce the yield for 12-18 years. In a good year, with proper care, up to 10 kg of juicy and fragrant berries can be harvested from one bush.As soon as the bushes take root after transplanting for growing, they are liquid fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers (30 g of ammonium nitrate per bucket of water) or manure slurry diluted with water 6-8 times.

Growing conditions
For good and fast rooting of cuttings, the soil in the garden should always be kept moist and loose. This is especially important in the first month after planting. With good care by autumn, a standard seedling suitable for planting can be grown from the cuttings.Rooting cuttings can be separated from the mother bush and transplanted to a permanent place either in the fall or next spring. Preferable next spring Yoshta does not need special pruning. In the spring, sanitary pruning is done - damaged and frozen branches are removed.
Yoshta care
If it is not possible to immediately plant the purchased seedling, then it is buried in a shaded place in the country. Dig a shallow elongated fossa with a slope to the south. The seedling is placed obliquely in the hole. They fall asleep so that both the roots and half the length of the shoots are underground. Water abundantly. In this form, seedlings can be stored for 3-4 weeks without compromising quality. Yoshta bushes have great growth vigor, they grow strong and tall, therefore it is not recommended to plant it in the center of the site. In the fruits of this plant, the content of vitamin C is slightly less than in currants, but much more than in gooseberries. They contain large amounts of vitamin P and anthocyanins. Yoshta berry has various beneficial properties. It is especially good for treating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. When eating this berry, blood circulation also improves, heavy metals are removed from the body.

Yoshta - planting, care and reproduction. The use of yoshta berries. |
Yoshta care is quite simple. Since the plant is moisture-loving, with insufficient natural soil moisture on the site, it must be watered. The soil must be mulched, as this creates a favorable nutrient climate in the soil, does not allow moisture to evaporate quickly and grow weeds, and also reduces the need for frequent loosening of the soil. For mulch, it is advisable to use humus or peat; each bush requires about 20 kilograms of mulch. Yoshta requires compulsory soil fertilization. For this, organic fertilizers, potassium sulfate and superphosphate are used.
Yoshta's appearance
When the berry reaches biological maturity.
It is necessary to take into account only the moment that potassium is very important for yoshta.
The next fall, the bushes are dug up and planted in a permanent place. Bushes suitable for planting must have well-developed roots and strong shoots.
Makes it possible to accelerate the production of yoshta seedlings, since already one-year-old plants have an excellent fibrous root system and a well-branched aerial part.
Yoshta care
, Uterine bushes are cut short in early spring, leaving stumps 15-20 cm long. Good care and abundant watering ensure a large number of young shoots. The first hilling should be done when the shoots reach a height of 10-15 cm (from the base). It is recommended to cover the center of the bush with earth tightly to prevent the branches from drawing closer together. After 20-25 days, the shoots are sprinkled with earth again. This is best done after rain. In dry weather, the bushes must be watered before the second powder. The cuttings are removed from the mother plant in the fall or early spring the following year.
If you want to increase the quality and quantity of the yoshta crop as a fruit crop, annually, at the beginning of summer, 10 liters of fresh mullein diluted with water (1: 5) or a bucket of diluted bird droppings (1:10) are introduced under each adult bush. Mullein or droppings can be replaced with Agrolife.
Reproduction and planting of yoshta
In order to obtain a harvest, they choose the sunny, most fertile plots of land, then the harvest will be larger, the berry will be larger.
Yoshta is also grafted onto golden currants and gooseberries, grown in a standard form, then the plant looks neater than a bush with branchy branches.
Yoshta is consumed both fresh and various dishes are prepared from it. The berry is very tasty (sweet, with a pleasant sourness) and unusually healthy. Compotes are made from yoshta, jam, jam, jam, confit and jelly are made. The berries can be frozen.
