Weird and interesting things are my thing.... seaberries, saskatoon berries, honeyberries, currants, elderberries, gojis, hardy kiwis, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apricots, plums, apples, pears, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, lingon berries, high bush cranberries, gooseberries, cherries, peaches and annual stuff like melons.... probably forgetting something, with more to come. For zone 4a in MN I like to push what I can grow here. So far so good. Got bananas and pineapple indoors with some citrus soon to come. Fun stuff!
you sound like me, first discovered saskatoons a couple years ago, blew me away how good they were.
Saskatoon grow wild here in colorado where I live
also wax currants looks just like red currants
Black currants make absolutely delicious juice to drink, back home in Poland currants grow everywhere!
Wow red currants are a luxury in Turkey! I think it’s because of the climate. It only grows in the Northern parts.
Yes, you are right! Very tasty juice!
In Brazil red currant juice is extremely popular but I've never seen the fruit before. Every kid in Brazil has had red currant juice at least once.
Very interesting video.
I had my first decent red currant harvest this year. Not quite enough for jelly, but use any cranberry muffin recipe (with orange and cinnamon) and sub in the currants...yummy! I also have gooseberries, honeyberries, jostaberries, red and gold raspberries, elderberries, and blueberries. The currants have ramped up production the fastest-- I highly recommend them!
Most ribes actually prefer partial shade, especially currants. They propagate very easy from cuttings. Easy to grow plants, cold hardy. Reds are my favorite. They make great jam.
I definently want to try my hand growing some of these and your tips are helpful! Also your video was nicely explained. You've been blessed with a radio announcer's voice!
I was born in Belgium and this was my favorite.. I have lived in the US for many years but have not had them since. I did not string them all in my mouth that way though, haha. It really is a marvelous fruit.
Red currants and raspberries are a good combo for pies. Do the mixture on the stovetop add sugar and tapioca to thicken, it is yummmmmmy. Warm and ice cream is great. 🇨🇦
That sounds delicious!
That sounds so good!
I like growing weird stuff too. I just got a serviceberry and am looking for currants. Nice video!
We have two gooseberries (2 more on the way) and 3 josta berries in the ground. They're pretty easy to grow. No currants but I think I may put red currants in as windbreaks and leave them for the birds.
I have a current bush in my back yard I just moved to a new house so I’m exited to try them out :) I hope I like them
definitely pick them as a cluster if you pick them one by one you damage them and they get bad faster. my grandparents had some when i was young they ate it raw our in yogurt with some sugar or honey.
Mate, in Europe we do eat them raw. Rarely processed.
But the one by the tree is probably crowded out, the tree is taking water and nutrition.
an update on figs. We've had 90's for 3 days and a fig tree that had NO figs now has 20 !
Used to have these in my childhood backyard. Fresh picked with a little sugar sprinkled on top. 😋
White currants are the sweetest of all
I grow red & black currants. They make a wonderful jam that is high in vitamin C. And we make a wonderful sauce to marinate pork in from currants.
They are super sweet when they are ripe. I Think maybe you are harvesting too early. I’m from Europe and have known them from childhood☺️🌸
There must be a reason that currant is named vinbär, (ie wine berries) in Swedish. My mother used to make the most lovely wine from black currant.
Try nanking cherry jelly. Takes like a jolly rancher. Awesome!!!
I have one side of my house that's in partial shade and it grows the best currants. I have 32 plants alternating between black and red and each one produces like crazy. I have some in full sun and thy seem to get overheated and always look damaged. So next year I'm going to plant another group along the fence to balance it all out. I have a big juice grinder that separates the junk from juice and i make popsicles out of them. Its the greatest popsicle ever.
I love eating currants fresh off the vine
amazing 👍
I've seen punnets and punnets of redcurrants at markets in Switzerland. They look like beautiful jewels. They are weirdly moreish!
I’m crossing mine with Boysenberry, to remind me of knotts Berry farm
Fresh are the best!
When can one expect a crop? Self pollination? Fruit of old growth or new growth? Pruning? What type of soil? Acidic soil? Special care? When to fertilize? Do birds eat them? Do you have to cover them? Winter protection?
Just ordered some I hope they ship to me in NJ.
I'm trying to grow these again... my 5th try. Hoping to get a growing plant.
blackberry jam is by far the best jam IMO. but I do like currant jam too!
Nothing makes a better PB&J than red raspberry.
My grandma used to make red currant jam. Nice and tart. I have currants here, the white ones do the best, the red are soso and the black did not had a lot of fruits....any recommendations?
YES, I can grow these! Too bad for the other states.
Currants make great wine
In Belgium they sell them just as berries to eat. We process them but most of us just eat them like that.
I got some fresh redcurrants from the grocer,they looked delicious. After eating them i decided i wanted to grow my own. I bought a plant and im looking forward to my first harvest. I love the sour flavour beautiful
It should be noted that the SALE of gooseberry is banned in some states. There are many different species of gooseberry that are native to the U.S. and grow in the wild.
I got the silver spirals to deter birds but it’s looking like I will need a mushy mesh like you.
Thoughts?!
Hey Ross, I’m growing currants for the first time. I was wondering are those red currants next to the fence just growing out of the grass? Do you have issues with them popping up in other areas of the grass? Thank you!!
thanks for sharing :)
The best jam, is raspberry blood orange marmalade. Gotta make the marmalade first using the old fashioned method "no jam sugar or special setters" only boil the pectin out of the pith. Then you add the raspberries and cook until 220f. This jam is my best seller.
Good video. I just bought a black currant berry bush (H: 1m) at home depot, planted and surrounded the roots with good compost in a sunny place in the yard. A few days of a mixture of rain/sun and some of the leaves are starting to yellow and curl. Any suggestions on why and how to combat this? Thanks. Greetings from WA.
Late to the party on this one, but assuming you've been properly watering them, your soil could be too nitrogenous.
It could be experiencing transplant shock. Sometimes too cold or too wet or too hot can stress them out. If the plant is young or its too sunny or hot, it can cause that. Some use B1 vit solution to help prevent transplant shock. Also its best to transplant in spring when plants are sleeping/dormant.
Huckleberry jam!
i miss this fruit so much
Do they like full sun or can they tolerate partial shade?
That spider web was massive!
3:00 LOL, that is exactly how you eat those!!!! haha Processing berries will destroy all health benefits and red currents are totally great to eat like that. If someone wants sweeter, get black current :)
I germinated seeds from store bought strawberries, and my app says they are currant plants?? Is that possible?
They grow wild in central oregon
Vinegar as well!
Wine too lol pre vinegar
Great video buddy. Nice to see what's happening elsewhere in the world. Your weather and climate sound a real treat. Shame about the illegality of currants. I'm live in Nottinghamshire. The midlands UK. And currant jam in a absolute staple. Gooseberry on the other hand is sort of going out of fashion here unfortunately. Out local dish is actually a Gooseberry Pork Pie 🤣 not that I've ever seen one for sale.
Also it's pronounced "Guz- berry". Like your Cuz's mate Guz.
Question anyway to get cuttings from you?
This was very informative. Thank you. Unfortunate they are banned in my state. XD
Of course if it's good for you they were banned pfft... Good info, ii want to grow these I'm in zone 7A.
They grow in Oregon
Are they banned in delaware still?
Are these tomatoes?
I am from NJ. Do you know if your friend sells plants? I would like to buy from him
Indianaberry or Nourse Farms.
@@RossRaddi thank you🥰🥰🥰
Never knew they were banned. No wonder I've never seen these before. They don't even mention them on TV.
They are selling in Michigan bought one today 😁
Can you send me some seeds?
Hey Ross I just posted In Rafeds Fig group on facebook about my fig tree problems. My name is Jason WHitney, If you can take a look at it and give me some advice if you have any ideas that'd be awesome. Speaking of i had 105 degree weather for 3 days straight. On my currants some leaves got a bit cripsy and the goosbery practically shriveled and died :/ oh well I'll replace it witha fig tree XD
Persimmon an 8 out of 10? Interesting, I never liked them that well.
All Russians have these in their garden
All About Growing Currants? A lot of talk and nothing about growing Currants.
Pronounced YUSTAberry and its HASKAP not honeyberry. No growing info
They are DELICIOUS fresh, it's just that here N.America, ppl are addicted to everything sweet.
People SHOULD try them and decide for themselves if they SHOULD eat them or not. They are VERY HEALTHY.
Cheers!
