Ribes laxiflorum is a species of currant known by the common names trailing black currant, and spreading currant. [2] It is native to western North America. Description
These move continually down the rows, straddling a row of bushes, shaking the branches and stripping off the fruit. The blackcurrants are placed into half tonne bins and to minimise stoppage time, some machines have cross conveyors which direct the fruit into continuously moving trailers in the adjoining row.
Ribes (/ ˈ r aɪ b iː z /) [5] is a genus of about 200 known species of flowering plants, most of them native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

There was a demand to have gooseberry-type fruits on thornless plants, and the first successful attempt to cross blackcurrant (R. nigrum) with European gooseberry (R. uva-crispa) was carried out by William Culverwell in Yorkshire, England in 1880. [3] This hybrid was termed Ribes × culverwellii and was nearly sterile. [4]
