Ribes fasciculatum Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Easily grown in a moisture retentive but well-drained loamy soil of at least moderate quality[11, 200]. Plants are quite tolerant of shade though do not fruit so well in such a position[11]. Hardy to about -20°c[200]. The flowers have a delicious aromatic perfume[245]. The fruit can hang on the plant until winter[182]. Plants can harbour a stage of white pine blister rust, so should not be grown in the vicinity of pine trees[155]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200]. Female flowers appear to be perfect but the pollen in them and the ovules in the male flowers are sterile[11]. Plants are therefore functionally dioecious, male and female plants must be grown if fruit and seed is required. For further Ribes fasciculatum gardening information |
