Black Currant Problem
My neighbor has just planted a row of black currants, close to
my south property line. While trying to find some advice for him on growing them, I came across several references that state this plant can cause white pine blister rust and for that reason, it is not heavily planted in gardens. I have a white pine tree at the northeast corner of my house. Should I be concerned about potential problems? If there are any, does anyone have a suggestion on how to minimize the problem? I see there are some disease resistant varieties of black currant, but since he got these plants from a friend who can't identify them, it's very risky. I live in the Chicago area. Sherwin D. |
