I didn’t like how the leaves on my
clove currant or gooseberry (pixwell that is being replaced this year by
Captivator) darkened and looked like they were going to drop. My nanking
cherries were in full bloom and the wind and cold ripped every blossom from the
plant the first night. We saw a low of 24.6, with most nights over the past
week being around 26.5. I know the cold did in a variegated holly and the
passionflower cerulea (or whatever) that I had new growth emerging on before
the cold hit. My red currants were beginning to uncurl leaves, but they seem
unharmed. Goumi was almost fully leaved out and it didn’t’ care
about the cold (but then again it doesn’t lose its leaves every winter
either). Hardy kiwi buds look like they have turned to mush, but I’m not
too terribly worried about them (though blooming this year would have been
nice). S. Hills (zone 6….1/2 mile from From:

prone to disease here. Donna, I have a black currant, Minaj Shmyriov, that has done very
well here in semi-shade. It has not had any disease problems, and the fruit
ripens before the weather turns hot. It has been so productive, I plan to add
more. I also have a gooseberry next to it, Captivator. It drops its fruit when
the weather turns hot, and will likely be replaced with another black currant.
Both of these were in full bloom, and suffered moderate damage this weekend.
Its still too early to say how much (if any) fruit will be produced
this year. Hal |
