Fan standards are sometimes trained with the branches radiating from the crown of the stem.

Its culture is similar to that of the red; but as it is less apt to bear in spurs than on young wood, the shoots should not be so much shortened in this as in the other. Currant bushes should be planted at different distances, according to the situation and mode of training. When planted in beds, borders, or squares, they should be six feet apart, but if trained as espaliers they may be eight feet apart. Many people dislike the flavor of black Currants.
