Blackcurrant plant.....potted

Joan from Masterton District

This healthy little Blackcurrant plant is about 30 or 40 cms high. Will put on quite a bit of growth through the Summer.
Blackcurrants ripen just before Christmas. I've had them for years with no known diseases. No need to spray them.
Great for making jam or blackcurrant fruit juice.
You do not need to top and tail them as you might Gooseberries before you eat or cook them.

The plant pictured in the pot is the one for sale. Will pay for itself in a few years. Theyre are quite a good hedge too, though they do lose their leaves in the winter. A metre or so high windbreak perhaps.

Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni

Price: $20

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There’s growing debate about whether New Zealand’s extended Christmas break (and the slowdown that comes with it) affects productivity.

Tracy Watkins has weighed in ... now it’s your turn. What’s your take? 🤔

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
