I have one of these plants in my yard, and recently requested trades for more to plant along side a fence. Some one, (thankyou ) for the link sent me a link with some disturbing info on it about growing these plants.
I haven't ever seen these diseases on my small plant, but wondered if I have to look out for this. as this is the variety that I grow.
here's the info that I was concerned about . Any help would be appreciated.
Has anybody else who grows this clove current had this problem with theirs.
Anthracnose and leaf spots are potential problems. In some parts of the country, the planting of Ribes species is illegal, due to the fact some species are alternate hosts for white pine blister rust. Check with local authorities before planting. Ribes odoratum is a host of this disease.
