Talk:Ribes alpinum

Spelling error
Should the spelling not be currant rather than current? Not being a specialist, I don't know whether this is a special instance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.86.198.73 (talk) 15:27, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

There should be coverage of this plant as a vector for white pine blister rust, and the impact of that on its value as a garden plant. It seems that female bushes are not vectors, but that would need to be confirmed with more research. Most nurseries sell male clones only, I believe. Banned in North Carolina, along with all other Ribes, and 'not encouraged' in 13 other states, at last count.
