Field note

black currants are fast and heavy rooting with softwood

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

black currants are fast and heavy rooting with softwood, here are well rooted cuttings of Tiben at 21 days. So this week I’m going through all the currants and checking them, anything at this stage can get potted up and then moved to a less frequent misting zone to begin hardening off. With that setup, I’ve also put them in the shade for a week and watering often, or on other year set them just outside of the mist in the greenhouse so they catch the edge of it. #propagation
