I would love to grow red and pink champagne currants in my garden, but know that the Pine Blister Rust Fungus is a problem for pine trees. Is it legal to now plant these bushes in Michigan and if so, are there guidelines on how far from pine trees they must be planted?
Thank you and I look forward to hearing your answer.
