Blackcurrant

Blackcurrants are easy to grow, producing bunches of dark purple berries from July to August and are rich in vitamin C. Their tart flavoured fruits can be made into pies, jams and cordials. A blackcurrant bush can also be grown in containers if you are short on space. Their delicious fruits are ready for picking in July.

Plant in a well-drained soil in a full sun or partial shaded position. Avoid sites that are prone to winds or late frosts. After two years of planting, prune a third of the branches back in the winter to enable new, fresh growth. The blackcurrant bush is high yielding, and produces a crop of good quality soft fruit.
