Blackcurrant bans feel too heavy-handed to me. Currants are a wonderful berry, very easy to grow, and one of the easiest woody plants to propagate.

There are plenty of other native berries in North America. White pines are rather majestic trees, particularly the old growth ones. [0]

I’m happy with white pines and raspberries/blueberries, Europe can keep their blackcurrants.
