About Our Currants

Currant Information

The currants are available bareroot. These self-pollinators do the best in full sun but can tolerate a little shade. These plants prefer a little acidity. Soil can easily be amended. These are fairly deer-resistant plants and are a low-maintenance, easy to grow plant. Note that Jostaberries (cross between gooseberry and black currant) are on the “Other Fruits” page.

2023 Apple season runs from Sept. 1st through Oct. 29th. Our spring nurser season will be open again in 2024. Pre-ordering begins in January of 2024.
