They need to be planted fairly shallowly because they send up new canes every year. They fruit on 2-year old canes. Aſter the 2-year old canes fruit they die and should be pruned out. The yield per plant roughly 2,5 kilograms. They reach full production in 2 - 3 years, and their productive lifespan is 10 - 20 years. 600 - 1000 chill hours per year. Recommended planting distance 0,45 x 1,7 meters. Ultimate size is 1 X 2 meters (height x spread). Red and black currants reach a mature height of 1 - 2 meters. They will live 40 to 50 years or more. The plants should be spaced 1,6 meters with 2 meters between rows. They require 800 - 1500 chill hours per year, depending on cultivar. They are typically harvested in June - July. Fruit storage life is 4 - 7 days. Age at first crop 3 - 5 years, Age to full production 5 - 10 years. Yields 3 - 4,5 kilograms per plant. Perhaps the most promising currant cultivars are Krasnaya viksne, Red Lake, Jonckheer van Teets, and Rovada, because of their high yield and high berry stability. The fruit may be eaten fresh or used for pies, jams, jellies, or juice.
