Currants
(Ribes species) Although not well known to American gardeners, the pleasant, sweet-tart taste of currants has been cherished for many years in Europe, often used for jam, strudel and syrup. Deciduous currant bushes add upright structure (4-5’ tall) with fine texture to naturalistic plantings or mixed hedges, and they blend nicely with evergreen shrubs. The dense plants attract nesting birds, the flowers are favored by hummingbirds, and the fruit draws robins and thrushes. USDA Zones 3-8 unless otherwise noted. We offer well-rooted bushes.
RED CURRANTS:
Red currants are among the most beautiful of edible ornamentals. Bright, shiny, red clusters of fruit are striking in the garden and they enhance any dish to which they are added. High quality fruit is excellent for jams, jellies and sauces, and it has considerable health benefits, including high quantities of vitamin C and potassium. Prohibited to DE, ME,NC, NH, NJ, WV, MASS NEEDS PERMIT
BLACK CURRANTS: Black currants are credited with outstanding health benefits, including high Vitamin C content, up to 5 times that of oranges by weight. They have twice the potassium of bananas and twice the antioxidants of blueberries. The antioxidants, essential fatty acids and potassium in black currants have anti-inflammatory impact, reducing the effects of arthritis, and anti-oxidant action, shown to help prevent cancer. The strong flavor of Black Currants is highly prized in Europe, even fresh, but most Americans prefer them made into jam, syrup or dried as raisins. Prohibited to DEL, ME, MASS, NC, NH, NJ, RI, WV.!!!* MI needs permit contact Mike Bryan, MI Dep't of Ag, 517-373-1087
