A guide to choosing the right size
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.
3 Litre = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds.
Bare Root = Field grown plants that have been freshly lifted and supplied with no soil around the roots. Only available during the dormant period November-April
2 Year Bush = A two year old plant. Generally will have 3-4 shoots.
1 Year Plant = Single shoot, around 20cm in height.
An easy crop to grow in the garden, they are however expensive in the supermarkets. Home grown, they are almost free and packed full of vitamins, especially vitamin C.
Cropping in July to August.
situation
Plant 1.5 Metres apart. Plant blackcurrants firmly and deeply so that good strong growth will come from the base. Bare root plants - After planting always cut back all the shoots to about 1” (2.5 cms) from the ground. Pruning in subsequent years means removing about a third of the wood to encourage young basal shoots
