1 Live Plant Red Lake Currant Ribes rubrum 6 Inch Tall Well Rooted Dormant 1 Year Old

Red Lake Currant is a dependable red currant selection valued for its heavy yields of bright, tart berries and its cold-hardy, vigorous habit. This well-rooted one-year-old plant stands roughly six inches tall and arrives dormant, ready to establish in the garden. It is an excellent choice for home growers who want a reliable fruiting shrub that performs well in cooler climates.

Red Lake currants ripen in clusters of glossy red berries that are wonderful for jellies, jams, pies, and fresh eating once fully ripe. The plants grow as upright, deciduous shrubs that can also serve as an attractive edible hedge or border planting in the landscape. Berries are typically ready for harvest in early to mid summer, and the shrub produces more abundantly as it matures over the seasons.
