Hi mdjlucan,

No, now is a good time to put them in so that they can put down roots before the real bad weather comes.

[mdjlucan]

thanks all so haw do i keep the frost from damage the redcurrant

[LilacSandy]

Redcurrents are hardy bushes that shut down for the winter so that the frost will not affect them.

[mdjlucan]

thanks

Stock up on some fleece also.  Think redcurrants are the blackbirds favourite fruit of choice and they will always get to the fruit before you do if not covered.

Are they bare root or potted plants?

[mdjlucan]

potted

My redcurrant grow like mad, and nothing eats them, not even the chickens.

Had a huge crop of Redcurrents but the birds ate every Black current, I will fleece ALL my fruit crops next year.

I was given 2 good size  Redcurrants a few weeks ago and planted straight away into the ground in my garden. The leaves are now yellowed and falling off.. hope they haven't died!!

Over summer I had 10,000 red currents on my bush. One morning they were there but by the afternoon the birds had eaten every. single. one.

I also think that they are ok because they do loose their leaves..
