 The most widely grown red currant. Vigorous bushes produce clusters of big, delicious, bright red berries that ripen in July. Easy to pick and remains productive even in partial shade.  .  This plant seems to have a semi dormant period in the summer-ish time were it will lose its leaves and then grow new ones in the fall.  First Photos are what the berries and plant will grow into, last photos, I send out oldest plants first, yours may be bigger or smaller, but they grow pretty quickly.Red currants, although tart, may be eaten ripe off the shrub, but are perhaps more often harvested to make jams, jellies and pies.  These are live rooted plants.

Red currants are small, round fruits that bear a resemblance to grapes. These sweet, juicy berries are commonly used in jams, sauces and various baked goods, or are simply eaten by hand as a snack. Akin to gooseberries, red currants come equipped with a plenitude of vitamins and minerals. Adding red currants to your diet plan will give you a boost of nutrient density.

Plants are grown naturally here in cold WI without chemicals/pesticides. Depending on WI season they will be dormant beginning of season to growing to going dormant at end of season. I am a licensed and inspected nursery center.
