Where does one obtain this black currant? Raintree has expanded their
offerings to 21, but this isn't among them.

chernaya lisovenko&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; the description of these
currants does match my experience. I should&#13;&#10;&#62; say that I have
only a couple years experience with these currants.&#13;&#10;&#62; They are
upright and compact. I have them at 3&#39; spacing and that
seems&#13;&#10;&#62; good, though could probably go down to 2&#39; if one
were constrained with&#13;&#10;&#62; space. I eat them out of hand but
certainly there are those that would&#13;&#10;&#62; think I was nuts. I do
think their taste ranks up there, at least as&#13;&#10;&#62; good if not
better than Titania &#40;of course, that&#39;s completely&#13;&#10;&#62;
subjective&#41;. Their major distinction, as far as I have experienced,
is&#13;&#10;&#62; their extreme precociousness, fruiting for me &#40;quite
surprisingly&#41; very&#13;&#10;&#62; heavily in their 2nd year, and thus
far, their immunity to disease. I&#13;&#10;&#62; have several other varieties
that seem to be at least somewhat&#13;&#10;&#62; susceptible to
anthracnose/leaf spot at my site, if not very&#13;&#10;&#62; susceptible, but
these have shown no signs of the disease or any effect&#13;&#10;&#62;
whatsoever with many new canes every year. They can be a little
tricky&#13;&#10;&#62; to pick, as there are usually fully ripe currants and
completely green&#13;&#10;&#62; currants on the same, tight cluster, making
picking in the first couple&#13;&#10;&#62; weeks of production very time
consuming. If I were to delay picking&#13;&#10;&#62; until more of them come
ripe, I&#39;d lose a decent amount dropping of the&#13;&#10;&#62; plants, so
selective picking seems necessary.&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; They also
make a great dry wine with champagne yeast.&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; Now
to search for the gooseberry that is resistant to leaf spot. . .
.&#13;&#10;&#62; pixwell is horrible in that regard. I&#39;m currently
trialing colossal,&#13;&#10;&#62; invicta, and black velvet, and soon to be
planted hinomaki red.&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; Anton Ptak&#13;&#10;&#62;

no idea what is meant by underground blooming. . .
