Check your state and county regulations before ordering, since rules differ and can apply to black currants specifically. Currants are also a northern fruit at heart, so in zone 8a give them morning sun with afternoon shade, deep mulch, and steady moisture, and expect smaller crops than a Michigan grower would.
