How To Plant Green Mound Mountain Currant
The Mountain Currant easily grows in conditions of average and medium well-draining soils. They prefer to be planted where they can reach full sun to partial shade.

How To Fertilize
Fertilize once a year in the late fall after leaf fall, or it can be done in early spring before buds break. We recommend using our Elements Starter Plant Food in granular form.
How To Prune
The Mountain Currant does not need any pruning to keep its shape. Nothing to worry about here!

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
