A guide to choosing the right size

Blackmoor Nursery is one of very few Nurseries in the UK offering gardeners the opportunity to buy Redcurrants and Whitecurrants plants direct from our Nursery. 

All orders are despatched in one delivery. If your order contains both bare root and container grown plants then we can only despatch when all plants are ready. 

4 Litre Container grown bushes available now.

Bare Root bushes available from Late October to May.

Bushes are grown on a short leg. After planting shorten all shoots by about half their length to encourage a strong framework. Subsequent fruiting is encouraged by spur pruning.

Half Standard = The fruiting variety is grafted onto the stem at 70-80 cm above the ground level. Will require supporting with a stake.

All soft fruits are self fertile.

Prior to planting eliminate all perennial weeds. If the soil is acid mix in lime, add organic matter such as compost or manure to light sandy soils. On heavier soils, which are poorly drained, planting on raised beds is beneficial. The incorporation of sand is also helpful. Before planting dig in a handful of fertiliser such as Growmore.

Plant arrived in good condition and looks a strong sturdy specimen. Fantastic service.

Everytime I say I will not buy anything else from your website I get tempted. This was part of your currant offer and arrived nicely packaged and a good size. Well done Blackmoor!

I have used you every winter for the last few years - keep adding to my fruit collection. Had used another fruit producer prior to that and was disappointed with their service. Never been disappointed with blackmoor service or the quality of the fruit trees/bushes.
