Planting and Caring for Black Currants

Black currant plants prefer sunny locations with well-drained, fertile soil. Plant them in winter or early spring, allowing plenty of space—about 1.5 metres between plants—for vigorous growth. Regular watering and mulching will keep roots cool and moist, boosting berry production.

Pruning is key to maintaining healthy, productive bushes. Remove older wood yearly to encourage new shoots and higher yields. Feed your currant plant with organic compost or slow-release fertiliser for best results.
