Currants are also susceptible to sedge rust, which does not involve pines.

Seth Jones asked, "I'd love to plant currants in the spring but am worried
about the White Pines I have around my house. Been trying to sort out which
varieties are safe and am a little confused.  Anyone have some good hard
information on this."


   I have had Red Lake Currants for twelve years.  There is also wild
currants nearby in the woods.  Both have Blister Rust but the White Pines
haven't been affected.  I suspect the White Pines are resistant and, if so,
could the hype about planting currants be unfounded?
