When eaten fresh, black currants have a very pungent and distinctive flavour that is definitely an acquired taste but they make the most delicious jams. The red, pink, and white varieties are much milder tasting. Bareroot plant

Growing Tips

Currant, Gooseberry Growing Tip

Spread a thin layer of wood ashes around the base of the shrub. Some local gardeners use straw and claim it works better yet.
