Cherry Red Currant (Ribes rubrum 'Ribes rubrum') Cutting
Grower's Notes (Our Experience):
Cherry red currant is a variety we grow that produces beautiful red fruit resembling Christmas decorations. The skin of these currants is translucent, allowing you to see the seeds inside. They have a crunchy texture and a super tart taste. This plant is very easy to propagate by taking a cutting in the winter and rooting it in a pot with potting soil outside. Currants are generally grown in colder areas, though a few types may grow in the south. This is a great choice for collectors or anyone wanting to try growing red currants in their garden.
Botanical Specs & Profile:
Cherry Red Currant is a deciduous hardwood shrub reaching a mature height of 3 to 5 feet with a similar spread. This self-fertile variety produces clusters of bright red berries that ripen in mid-to-late summer. The fruit features a translucent skin showcasing the seeds inside and has a tart flavor profile. Suitable for USDA hardiness zones 3 through 7, it performs best in full sun to partial shade and adapts to fertile, well-draining soils rich in organic matter.
This product is a dormant cutting that will take root, leaf out, and grow if planted under the right conditions. Since plant propagation success rates can vary depending on climate, location, and timing there is no universal recipe for success.
