This is a small area around a power pole that looked frankly ugly. It was nothing but weeds. So I planted two bushes. One of them takes up most of this view and it is a black currant bush that is totally loaded with currants this year.
This bush can grow to 12 feet tall, but the deer have kept it topped, so it has just become bushier.
Incidentally, the fruits produced by this bush are true currants. What is sold in the store as “golden currants” aren’t currants, they are raisins. In other words, golden currants come from grape vines.
Very cool information I did not know. Looks great.
Much better than a bare pole
