> I have heard that currants don't like heat and
are 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.
