Black Current Bushes
Hi
I planted on some black current seedlings which I collected from the bottom of our black current bush, last year, and they have grown wonderfully.
However, I was wondering if they will be true black current bushes, or is Glen Sarik - the species I have, a grafted bush.?
Thanks, in advance, to anyone who can answer my query.
Kind regards.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Most gardening magazines recommend sticking prunings taken from blackcurrant bushes as the main way of propagating new bushes so I'm not sure whether your little plants will produce identical fruit. However, to most people "a blackcurrant is a blackcurrant" and I can't imagine that when your young bushes produce fruit they will taste very different. Prepare for a slightly long weight though. It could be two or three years before they produce a sizeable crop.
