They prefer fairly damp soil near water, but also like poor, dry, airy soils that you improve with a lot of compost and irrigate in summer. As with fruit in general, plenty of sun and some shelter from strong wind is best. The ideal soil pH is slightly acidic, but they're flexible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead our detailed \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/blogs\/fruit\/how-grow-blackcurrant-bushes-ribes-nigrum\"\u003ehow to grow blackcurrants\u003c\/a\u003e page, they need pruning to stay productive. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140cm apart along the rows, with 1.5m between rows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Ashridge","offers":[{"title":"Bareroot \/ Plant","offer_id":54999503208774,"sku":"SOFTBLACUWELLI-BR","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/0351\/8022\/files\/wellington-blackcurrant-fruit.jpg?v=1755470165","url":"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/wellington-blackcurrant-bushes","provider":"Ashridge Nurseries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
