For example, the black currant Belorusochka has a surprisingly high yield; the bush perfectly tolerates frosts and even severe frosts up to minus thirty degrees. I am also very attracted to me as a non-lover of harvesting - the berries of the Belorusochka currant variety do not crumble and do not crumple when picking berries. "
• Ekaterina Stepanovna, Moscow region: “I got acquainted with the variety of black currant Belorusochka. They said that the variety is mostly distinguished by self-pollination. However, having planted a variety next to Paulinka, she noticed that the yield increased significantly. I think it is possible to plant another variety next to it, the main thing is that it coincides in terms of flowering with the Belorusochka blackcurrant variety ”.
