🫐 Fruit & Harvest Note

Black currants develop in clusters and mature to a dark purple-black color. Their distinctive tart flavor makes them popular for jams, jellies, syrups, sauces, baked goods, and other culinary uses.

Although this listing is for an approximately 2-year-old plant, fruiting during a specific season cannot be guaranteed. Production depends on cultivar, maturity, climate, pruning, weather, and growing conditions.

✂️ Growing Tip

Plant in fertile soil with reliable moisture and good drainage. Black currants can benefit from pruning as they mature to encourage productive younger stems and maintain airflow through the shrub.

📦 Important Live Plant Note

Black Currant is deciduous, so appearance changes dramatically throughout the year. Depending on shipping season, your plant may arrive fully leafed out, partially leafed, or dormant with no leaves.

The 18–25 inch measurement is approximate, and natural variation between individual plants should be expected.

⚠️ U.S. Planting Note

Black currants and other Ribes species may be subject to state or local planting restrictions in some parts of the United States because of their relationship with white pine blister rust. Buyers should confirm that the species or cultivar is permitted at their destination before ordering.
