> Note that the USDA Germplasm Repository collection for currants is in
> Corvallis, OR, so info from there is based on extensive field
> experience. They have ample online resources.
> Nurseries in your region that can recommend what should work in Spokane:
> Whitman Farm in Salem, OR and Burnt Ridge Nursery (Michael Dolan?),
> near Mt. St. Helen.
