Vigor — Red Currant

Ribes rubrum L.

The vigor of red currant is a morphobiological indicator of the development intensity of the bush's aerial part, determined by plant height and shoot-forming capacity.

In the reference 18 varieties crop Redcurrant, where this is mentioned in the description.

Vigor assessment is conducted by breeders using biometric parameters: bush height, crown density, and the intensity of basal shoot formation. Varieties are classified by growth habit from compact to spreading, with high or moderate capacity for forming new shoots; specific quantitative thresholds are determined through comparative analysis against control varieties.

This trait directly influences the choice of planting scheme and cultural practices. Varieties with high shoot-forming capacity are prone to rapid overcrowding, which requires regular removal of branches older than 5–6 years. Unlike black currant, it is generally not recommended to prune annual growth in red currant, as fruit buds are often concentrated at the junction of previous years' growth.

General information about the subject — on the page Vigor.
