A few days ago Scott mentioned that his black currants have gone into decline. It sounds like that may not be an isolated event. I hope that I’ve still got a few years on mine- the first 5 kinds I planted have just come into full production (year #5). This spring I planted 5 more varieties, so I suppose I just need to make a few backup cuttings of the winners from the first batch (Consort, Minaj Smeryu, and Blackdown).
