Signs of Cold Stress in Black currant
Symptoms
Black currant tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 59℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, even without visible winter damage, branches might become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new shoot development.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in Black currant
Symptoms
In summer, Black currant should be maintained below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, the plant's leaves may lighten in hue, tips might dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
