Can Gold Rush Currant grow in a container?

[JoeP]

Can anyone tell me if Gold Rush Currant will grow in a 7 gallon container?

I see on Tatiana's Tomatobase that it is an indeterminate but I read in seed catalogs and in Amy Goldman's book that currants can be more of a spreading habit (small leaves and branches).

So is it more of a spreading bush (still indeterminate) or is it like an indeterminate cherry with small fruit?

If it is a spreading habit (can't reasonably be pruned/staked/caged) then would it perform well in a container? I'd like to put it in a 7 gallon container as all of the spots in my tomato bed are spoken for.

I would appreciate any insights about currants in containers vs ground.

Thanks,
Joe

sure can. the smaller the tomato, generally the more forgiving of constraint.

Thanks.

It has been planted in the 7 gallon pot.
