Raspberry Canes & Black Currant Plants
black currant plants $8 each
raspberry canes, medium sized, $7 each all with excellent established root systems.
Black currants & raspberry canes prefer a location with moist well drained soil and will thrive in a position where it is protected from the hot afternoon sun. I grow my raspberries and black currants under the dappled shade of trees - in nature they feature as part of the under canopy vegetation. Both fruits can tolerate frost and drought. Put them in and let them battle it out. They are extremely hardy and require minimal work after planting. Homemade raspberry jam is amazing; minus gums, preservatives and artificial sugar alternatives frequently found in store bought jams.

NZ blackcurrants contain high levels of anthocyanin. The combination of New Zealand’s pristine environment, unpolluted air, high ultraviolet light intensity, and specially bred varieties results in our berries having some of the highest anthocyanin levels in the world. Collection Rolleston or Harewood.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
