We offer blackcurrant bushes that have a spread of fruiting from late June through July. Easy to grow, heavy cropping they will provide lots of nutritious summer fruits for many years if maintained well. We do not grow bushes ourselves. Varieties are available as non organic plants.
Plant about 1.5 (5′) apart. Grow as stoolbed bushes where the branching arises from soil level. Plant a little deeper than on the nursery to encourage branching from below soil level. After planting reduce branching to a couple of buds above soil level. Mark the plants well because little will be visible initially.
However Blackcurrant bushes will quickly. Grow in a sheltered, fertile site with plenty of sunlight. Some shade can be tolerated.

The weight of the crop can bring the branches lower but they revert back to their more upright poistion after harvesting. It has good resistance to most foliar diseases, and is resistant to Gall Mite, Big Bud & Reversion.
