    Live blackcurrant jam with yoshta
    Jam prepared according to this recipe retains the taste and benefits of fresh berries.
    We will need 1 kg of black currants, 0,5 kg of yoshta, 1,5 kg of sugar.
    Cover the berries with sugar and put them in a cool place overnight. During this time, the sugar should almost completely dissolve, mixing with the berry juice. All that remains is to grind the berries with a blender. Place in small sterilized glass jars, sprinkle a little sugar on top, and close with lids.
    It is advisable to store such jam in the refrigerator or cool cellar. If you plan to keep it at room temperature, then for 1 kg of berries you should take about 2 kg of sugar.

    Yoshta is 7 years old. The berries have always been healthy and clean, but this year they are cracking, not growing to maturity. Some wither. Maybe we overfed them with fertilizers or it was rainy weather and some kind of fungal disease? Help, please, what to do?

      You are right, the wet weather that has settled in the Moscow region brings various diseases, including fruit rot. Due to excess rain, the berries crack, brown rot spores appear in them. Now it's too late to fix something, it was necessary to treat the plants in advance - for prevention. Affected berries should be cut off and discarded. And be sure to prepare the berries for next year. In autumn, during the period of leaf shedding, the yoshta plant should be treated with a 7% solution of urea or a 1-3% solution of copper sulphate. They will destroy the spores formed during the decay of the fruit. AND

    Yoshta is gone. I planted it last year in the fall, and in the spring it was gone - it broke off 2 cm from the root. By itself, no one touched her. This is the second time this has happened to Yoshta. I planted it back in 2012 - the same story happened. What is the plant missing? Or does it freeze? Maybe you need to somehow plant in a special way?

      Dear Iraida Stepanovna! All currants are affected by currant gall midge, the mosquito lays eggs in the shoot, gnaws from the inside, then mushrooms appear in this place and destroy the shoot completely. Oh, how difficult it is to kill a mosquito, it is necessary to water the bushes with Aktara in early April. Therefore, in the fall and spring, I spray all the bushes with biological preparations from mushrooms and mosquitoes "Boveria", "Metarizium" and "Trichoderma".

      Another reason is possible: wetting of the stem at the root due to high snow. This year there was a lot of snow, it lay on the thawed earth, a deep layer in many gardens caused suffocation of shoots. Perhaps the same thing happened with yoshta. This phenomenon is especially observed on young shoots.

    Grows in my garden and yoshta. Until I planted gooseberries next to her, she would give me a handful of berries, if not nothing at all. And this year I even mashed it and froze it for tea. It is sourer than black, but tastier for fruit drink.
    The summer was hot, I only drank fruit drinks. Honeysuckle, raspberries, red currants, black - everything fits and it turns out delicious.

    I planted a strong healthy yoshta sapling three years ago. Now it is already a good branched bush with a height of about 1 m 70 cm. But it does not bloom and does not bear fruit. What is the reason? How can I persuade Yoshta?

    Yoshta does not bear fruit ...
    Three years ago we planted 3 yoshta bushes in the sun. However, the plants do not flower or bear fruit. Is it worth waiting for yoshta fruiting at all? What is she missing?

      - Usually, growth to the detriment of fruiting occurs when the plants are fattening, that is, from excess nutrition, primarily nitrogen. This effect is obtained if you apply high doses of humus or other fresh organic matter. Try sawdust to reduce the nitrogen content of the soil.

    Now everyone knows that yoshta is a hybrid of gooseberries and black currants and that he surpassed his parents in many ways. The shrub turned out to be tall, powerful, without thorns (unlike its parent - gooseberries), forms little root shoots, therefore it does not require strong pruning. Root shoots also do not form. The hybrid feels good under the southern scorching sun (unlike black currants).
    Yoshta can be watered less often, a glass case is not so dangerous for her. The hybrid is practically not affected by pests and diseases (I did not observe such a thing on my landings). Therefore, it is not necessary to spray bushes with pesticides, and we eat berries that are environmentally friendly. But her parents are often struck by brown spotting, powdery mildew, rust and atrocnosis. They are often attacked by a spider mite, which requires constant treatment of bushes with insecticides.
    When I got yoshta, I uprooted blackcurrants and gooseberries (old plantings), leaving only 2 bushes of modern varieties that are resistant to disease.
    But I tried to propagate yoshtu and not in vain. Another advantage of yoshta is that it begins to bear fruit on the 2-3 year after planting and continues to produce good yields until the 17-18 years. With good care from each bush, you can collect a bucket of large tasty berries, which are also useful. For example, they contain vitamin C in 4 times more than in blackcurrant berries. Yoshta berries remove radionuclides from the body, are a barrier to the formation of tumors and leukopenia. They are consumed fresh and processed into jam, jelly, juice and even wine.

    Some gardeners complain that their yoshta gives a small crop of berries. I think that everything is in the right agricultural technology. From my own experience I know that it is impossible to achieve a crop in the shade, because yoshta bears fruit only in sunny places and requires potassium top dressing.

    And finally, one more condition - to increase the yield, it is necessary to plant gooseberries and black currants next to it for cross pollination. Follow these conditions and get a decent harvest.

    Ioshta - a hybrid of gooseberries and black currants - became known in our country in the last century.
    Today, several varieties of this culture have been selected, which are gaining popularity among gardeners.

    Rext - grows even in partial shade and looks very decorative. Its fruits are black-violet, tasty and very fragrant.
    EMB is a relatively small shrub with strong stems, resistant to many diseases and pests. Fruits with sourness.
    Crohn - does not need a garter, as it has strong stems. The berries are black, do not fall even after ripening.
    Yohini is a large bush from which you can get up to 10 kg of delicious berries. So that the fruits do not grow smaller, you need to constantly remove the root shoot.
    Moro is a tall but not sprawling variety with aromatic fruits.

    I learned about yoshta from my aunt, who brought a glass of berries for a test. They were small and sour, but she praised them so much that in spring she brought me a broom from cuttings (twigs with thread of sprouts). The hand did not rise to throw away planting material - the aunt nevertheless tried. I handed out the cuttings to my neighbors, and I kept the most liquid one for myself. She planted apple trees in the most unsightly place (in the openwork shade of the apple tree), once watered with a stimulator of root formation, and forgot, engaging in more promising crops - currants and gooseberries.
    Kustik quickly grew up, straightened up: I planted it at an angle, like a currant. Nothing hurted and the next year became a bush with openwork leaves. It blossomed amicably, the insects circled it endlessly, pollinating from morning till night. At the end of July, the berries were filled to the size of a large cherry tree, became gray with a whitish bloom. I tried them: the taste is sweet and sour, fragrant, refreshing, with a sweet aftertaste of currants, although it initially looked more like gooseberry.
    Of the pests, I noticed only small caterpillars in the cobweb - I collected them manually.

    The berries do not ripen amicably, they hang firmly on the hand, do not crack. From ioshty I cooked jam, which amazingly conveys the taste, color and aroma of fresh berries. After such a gift, I thanked the bush: cut out unnecessary branches, dug them, fed them with ashes. In the early spring she sprinkled with a weak urea solution, sprinkled over the overgrown manure into the drunken circle, drank abundantly. This summer it was already a blooming, fragrant, handsome man!
