My landscaper disobeyed my explicit desires and obtained flowering currants instead of fruiting ones. It's pretty hopeless for me to try to work with him to change them out. Is there anyone who wants flowering currants who would give me fruiting currants or gooseberries in exchange? There are other "stealth" fruits I'd accept as well. Basically, I'm trying to do as much edible landscaping as possible but I'm using lesser-known fruits in my front yard to avoid theft and trespassing.
What I have are Ribes indecorum http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/155498/index.html
Ribes sanguineum 'White Icicle' http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/81553/index.html
Ribes sanguineum 'Claremont' http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/115231
Ribes aureum Golden Currant http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/81529/index.html
I'm especially interested in the gooseberry "Hinnomaki Red" and prefer white and red currants to black.

I have red currants, I'm not interested in your flowering currants, but I could send you some cuttings and/or some volunteers if you'd like.

I would love some! I should be able to get out in the yard on Sunday and get some dug up....I hope!
