Planting Red & Black Currants

[SBWs]

Anyone know if I can plant Black Currants and Red Currants in the same area or should I keep them apart.

Hope the link works for you....

Black currants perform better when different cultivars are
grown together. Note that black currants will not cross with red
or white currants; the reverse is also true.

Great link there Angie. Just be careful as Currants are still banned from certain areas. Check your local status for this.

I haven't been able to find anything about currants being banned up here in Canada. I have read that they can contribute to pine rust so don't know why they weren't banned up here as well.
