Thank you
Do you know whether they survive in a spot with say 2 hrs direct sunlight per day?
I got this nice red currant as a birthday present. I’ve put it in a pot and am tempted to seed either rucola or garden cress in it too. Is that a good idea or is it better to keep the pot clean with just the red currant.
(Note the welcome raindrops!)

They are in a south facing garden

My earliest experience was my mother had planted them to cover part of the garden that was essentially builders rubble, that was full sun.
In some areas of southwest England they grow as a garden escape in all sorts of locations.
According to the RHS website it will grow in full shade

They look the type that you can remove the sides to root prune. I’ve been meaning to do this for the past 5 years on 3 main plants (plus more), but still haven’t had the time to finalise the design and build. 2 grand is a farce. I’ll come up with something, watch this space.

Might take a few of us.
Reminds me of the Inspector Clouseau film with Peter Sellers talking to the blind man (robbery look out) with the “Minkey”
Sure your team could do better?

Very hardy plants IME, which can go without water for a bit and benefits from a severe (near to ground) reduction every few years, otherwise the stems and spread can get ‘woody’.
The flowers are quite short-lived though, only appearing for me in June and a few weeks afterwards.
That is the business …

Unfortunately it means I probably pay twice as much as I would at the supermarket but the taste is better.
