Re: Ribes aureum -Reply

I suppose anything's possible, but my yard is
bee heaven:  a 100 x 70 foot lot with 70+ roses,
30+ climatis and nearly every square inch
thereafter filled with shrubs and perennials for
the birds, bees and butterflies.

Right next to that plant are delphinium,
hollyhocks, butterfly bush, geum, and roses.

It was, however, the wettest May on record
EVER here.

I'll wait another year or so before giving up and
removing.

Thanks for your help.

It is not dioecious according to Hortus III. This
year in Minnesota, we
have fielded many questions about fruits that
have ended up being a lack
of pollination. I have never had so many. Could
this be it for you?
