I ordered American hazelnut (filbert) and native elderberry from Prairie Nursery to plant this year. I'm looking for black currents next season. I read somewhere they are more nutritious than the red ones.
Do you have any experience with any of these shrubs?

I don't have any experience with currants. They're on my list for my food forest and based on the UW info I was going to steer towards red currant. I was also going to try to find cultivars that are resistant to white pine blister since I have white pines in the area.
Another awesome site I found today is a seedling vendor in Wisconsin (down by Milwaukee
) called Chief River Nursery. I'm not sure how they are to work with but their prices and selection are pretty good. 1 hazelnut (12-18") = $6.49, 100 hazelnuts = $1.87 ea.
