About Our Currant
Currant Pricing
The currants are available bareroot. Depending on availability, we sometimes have some potted currants available in the store. Note that Jostaberries (cross between gooseberry and black currant) are on the Gooseberry page. Currants do the best in full sun but can tolerate a little shade. These plants prefer a little acidity. Soil can easily be amended.
Nursery season is in the spring. 2023 availability will be updated by mid-january and pre-ordering will begin at that time.
