Description

Black currants are quarter inch fruits that hang in a long sprig like tiny grapes or red currants. These are rich and sweet-tart with a distinctive flavor similar to juniper (they are used traditionally in cassis, an alcoholic beverage with notes of gin). Not related to those raisin like "currants" you buy at a natural grocery store (those are Corinth grapes, not currants at all). Consort was bred to have resistance to white pine blister rust. Very productive. Hardy to zone 3, likely 2. Bush gets at least 3 foot tall and at least this wide. Self pollinizing.

Tree Pruning
Proper pruning ensures a healthier tree, improves fruit size and increases fruit yield. Fruit trees should be pruned during winter dormancy. We’ll prune individual trees or an entire orchard.

Planting
We offer services for those who would like assistance in planting and/or maintaining trees and help with everything from staking trees to trellising grapes and berries. We will show you the proper procedures for caring for your home orchard or do the maintenance for you.

Custom Grafting
In addition to grafting the fruit trees we sell, we also offer custom grafting services. We can graft a hard to find cultivar, a reproduction from your own tree, or we can graft onto an existing tree on your property. New trees can be sent right away or grown a year here.
