Description
A member of the gooseberry family, the red currant grows up to 3-5 feet tall and wide, preferring full sun to part shade and well-drained soils. Black and red currants are widely consumed throughout the world, possessing positive effects in dietary management of various diseases (hypertension, osteoporosis, inflammation, cancer, and cardiovascular disease). Branches of these bushes produce a multitude of flower which are pale green and develop into small bright red berries.
Although our cultivars are resistant to white pine blister rust (WPBR), we recommend planting currants away from white pine to further reduce risk. Please contact the district if you have any questions.
