Find the right location for currants
Currants thrive particularly well in a favorable location and produce many, sweet and big fruits. This ensures the ideal place for your currant bushes.
The best location for currants
Sunny locations preferred
Although currants are originally found along forest edges, you should plant them in a sunny spot in the garden. Only when the fruits get enough light and above all sun, they become beautiful big and sweet.
In partially shaded locations, it will take longer to harvest your currants. The fruits are also smaller and contain more acid.
As a shallow root shrub, the shrubs need loose, nutritious soil. Waterlogging does not tolerate waterlogging. Therefore, make sure you have a well-drained floor.
Tips & Tricks
Most currant varieties are self-pollinating. However, the harvest is more abundant if you plant several bushes in the garden, which fertilize each other.
