    This splendid variety is now the most widely planted redcurrant because of it's very high yields of top quality glossy fruit. It's a late cropper being ready to pick from late July so usefully providing a bumper harvest when other soft fruit is waning. Tangy and juicy and perfect for jams jellies and summer pudding!

    How to Grow a Red Currant Bush

    How to Grow New Currant Bushes For Free

    Currants are the forgotten treasure of productive gardens.  If you had to weigh up the amount of harvest against the effort, space and expense of many edible plants then I think currents would come near the top of the list. Black currant, red currant and white currant bushes all yield copious clusters of berries which are rich in vitamin C as well as having a high pectin content which makes them ideal for jams and jellies.
