| They have them at Gurneys.com. Type "Currant, Ben Lomond" into the search box(and don't forget the $20 of $50 purchase if you decide to buy a few plants). Here is a review of the cultivar 'Ben Lomond' from davesgarden: '... is tolerant of frosts. Fruit ripens evenly and is large, with very high amounts of vitamin C. Great for jams as it also has a high pectin content.' |

| Another place with different types is One Green World. I have bought from them more than once with good results. |

| Mmmmm black currants... I LOVE the jelly they make and the juice. If I had the room I'd have a bush. As it is, I'm getting another crabapple - maybe we can swap a bit of fruits in a couple years *GRIN* -Marie |

| Another good place is Raintree Nursery. |

| Burnt ridge nutsery, also Whitman Farms (be prepared for variaty overload) |
