Soft fruit - sun / shade
Hello all
I'm replanting various black currant, red currant, gooseberry, raspberry. The strip of ground in question ranges from full sun all day to partly shaded in the afternoon. Which of these need the most sun ? Which will tolerate - or even prefer - a little afternoon shade ? Best regards Ray |

Hey... My fruit growing book (now sadly discarded) says that black currants are more tolerant of shade than other soft fruit ....but I've never grown any. However, for years I have grown gooseberry and red and white currants in almost permanent shade, except for evening sun, and have always had near branch-breaking crops of VG quality fruit. My raspberry plants have sun all day with shade in late afternoon, again with excellent results. vsop. |
