I have a HUGE red currant bush on the edge of my woods. It's quite damp and gets lots of shade. I would love to plant a gooseberry...personally, I don't like red currants. The only reason I don't mow it down is because I'm not a plant killer :) and because my Mom LOVES red currant jelly. I wish they were good eaten out of hand..but holy smokes! Talk about tart!

On a side note...do currant bushes need to be pruned??
