Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
black currants
I planted some black currant plants in March this year. They have some fruit on them but the fruit is sour. Is this because it is the plants first year or because I planted them in partial shade? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
Answer
It's most likely because of the partial shade, currants produce the best fruit in full-sun locations. Ripping fruit requires a large amount of energy which plants get from the sun.
