- Black currants are a nutritious berry crop gaining interest among health-conscience consumers and farmers seeking to diversify their operations alike. Eric Wolske has led research at the University of Illinois on currant cultivar performance and best practices for growing currants in orchards, agroforestry systems, and even in parks and yards. Bill Davison of Savanna Institute will moderate as Eric will goes over some of the exciting components of his research on currants and share some of the lessons he’s learned to help future and current currant growers maximize production of this delicious and nutritious up-and-coming fruit.
Getting my currents to grow well here in mid-Missouri has been a challenge. Thanks for the great information.
That % change slide has no reference - is the vertical axis an increase or decrease percentage yield?
I mix mine in with other fruits and nuts i grow. I make dried fruit/nut bars. I have one of those hand crank smasher strainer things that separates seeds and stems. Then i roast and flour some almonds and hazelnuts and mix with the fruit/berry slurry. After that it goes through the dehydrator. The fruit dries out and holds it all together. I just make it all for fun now, but it could end up being my survival food.
When do you put the cuttings into the ground? Before winter or after winter? I am guessing you would prune when dormant and put into soil in Spring?
Great talk, thanks!
Struggling to figure out if R. nigrum (blackcurrant) and R. odoratum (Crandall/clove currant) might cross-pollinate with each other. Anyone?
Currants are easily propagated from cuttings. Great way to get extra plants.
And about birds & net houses ? Made only 55% shade clothes test ? It’s high shade…
Delicous in cheesecake, we have cordial made from them, Ribena. Grow well here in Ireland.
