Thanks for the article, but even if I didn't know the wonderful properties of currants, I would still eat it all the time, because it is really tasty. And if it's still straight from the bush - delicious.

And can someone tell me how currants relate to the process of cross-pollination between different varieties? Will the close proximity of red with white and black harm the bushes? I here decided to allocate a whole hundred square meters of my dacha for this culture and now I am thinking whether I did the right thing? Or was it necessary to plant all the bushes around the perimeter?
