Question:
Answers:
Cultural requirements for red and black currants are similar. However, black currants are heavier feeders than red currant, so it is beneficial to add a side dressing of compost or aged manure before planting, and again during summer. Black currants also tolerate more standing water than red currants.
Black currants bear heaviest crops on one year old wood, with a lighter crop on second and third year growth. It is therefore important to ensure there is a plentiful supply of new growth to provide the following year's crop. In late autumn, prune back all shoots more than three years old. Also remove bent or broken branches, and those growing too close to the ground. As with red currants, remove all perennial weeds before planting, and keep weed free to control insects and diseases.
