6 July 2018 Black Currants ((Ribes nigrum). Posted on July 6, 2018 by Durgan 6 July 2018 Black Currants6 July 2018 Black Currants (Ribes nigrum). There are six bushes one is producing fruit now. 664 grams were obtained. Currants are difficult to pick, so I made a mesh scraper to facilitate fruit removal. A one inch mesh plastic is placed over a container and the branch is scraped along knocking off the fruit.It works reasonably well, since the berries do not fall off. They cling to the branch and literally have to be pulled slightly to be released. The fruit is very nutritional. A welcome addition to a home garden.

They were cleaned and will be used for milk shakes.The two bushes produced 2765 grams of fruit, approximately six pounds.
