Companion Planting & Garden Value: Currant

Ribes spp.

Spacing: needs about 16 square feet per plant. Mature height: 3-5 ft.

Pollination

Self-fertile: one plant, on its own, sets fruit. Red, pink and white currant varieties are self-fertile and set fruit alone; most black currant varieties are not and need a second variety nearby. Either way, a second cultivar tends to improve yield. (source)
