Best Growing Conditions
They need to be sheltered from cold winds and late Spring frosts as this can lead to damaged flowers and can cut down on the yield of fruit that is produced the following year. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure into the ground or patio pot. Netting the bushes will help to protect the currants from birds.
