Plant currants at the correct distance

The correct planting distance for currants

  • Bigger berries thanks to more sun
  • Easier harvest
  • Easier maintenance

The planting distance should be at least one meter for small varieties. For currants that grow very tall, a distance of up to two meters is ideal. Then the shoots of the bush get more sun and bear larger fruits.

Harvesting and maintenance work are easier with a greater planting distance. To pick berries or to cut the shoots you can simply walk around the bush.

Tips & Tricks

If you want to plant several currant bushes in the garden even though you have limited space, choose standard plants. High-stemmed currants do not need that much space, but they have to be fertilized additionally.
