An excellent currant plant, grows best in the shade of trees or larger shrubs. Ensure it is protected from hot afternoon sun. The shiny black berries are juicy and sweet, ready between late December-early February. Can be eaten fresh, frozen, or made into jam, wine, or any number of other things!
After planting:
Prune young bushes back to two buds above the ground and allow them to grow, then do not prune for two seasons.
After two seasons, prune to maintain size by removing old stems to a new low bud, removing at least 1/3 of the old cane.
Aim to have 8-10 shoots per bush.
