RE: Ribes in shade

According to research by Martin Crawford at the Agroforestry Research
Trust Forest Garden in the UK, Gooseberries and Currants showed no
statistically significant drop in production when grown in up to 40
percent shade. (reference from Edible Forest Gardens Vol. I by Dave
Jacke and Eric Toensmeier, p. 78). I would say some drop in production
could be expected with over 40% shade, but it might just be worth a
shot for currants...

Cheers
Ethan
