Currants are hardy and easy to grow and once established, produce an abundance of fruit on new wood. Enrich the soil with aged compost and manure prior to planting. Water regularly during establishment and during any extended dry periods. Plant in full sun and protect from frosts which may otherwise reduce yield. Prune to thin old wood and encourage fresh new fruiting growth.
