  • decorative blackcurrants

    I am going to train some red and white currants and gooseberries as espaliers. I understand black currants have a different growth habit and can't be grown on a leg. Is there any way a black currant can be grown against a fence or are they always grown as a bush on open ground? All suggestions appreciated.

    I suppose you could espalier your blackcurrants, you would just have to use multiple stems thats all?
    I have a dozen blackcurrant cutting 'planted' in the allotment but still haven't pruned my whitecurrants or redcurrants. Might do that tomorrow and try and strike a few cuttings for use as half standards. Also need to peg down a few branches of my favourite gooseberry for the same reason.

    Thanks for reminding me jaimie!

      Thanks Snadger.

      I'll give it some thought.
