Hi all. I have a very stubborn black currant. When is it supposed to bloom and what do the buds look like? My blackcurrants in RI were so massive and bloomed like crazy, I never really paid attention to its details. I am down to one black currant in a pot. Lots of leaves. Its trying . . .
Maybe it is too warm where you are.

Could be. May in the 60’s? Doesn’t get hot till June. I don’t know.
My black currants are rather confused this spring (unlike white, red, golden, gooseberries and josta). The most perplexed 
ones are the ones in full sun.
These are some unopened flower buds:
And the same variety in half shade:
The top one leafed out before anything else and looks like it will bear as poorely as stressed transplants from last year’s cuttings.
