Botanical Specs & Profile:

Crandall Black Currant (Ribes odoratum 'Crandall') is a thornless, deciduous shrub native to North America that grows 3 to 7 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide. In spring, the plant produces yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers with a clove fragrance. These blooms are followed by edible, purple-black berries that ripen in mid-summer, measuring up to 0.75 inches in diameter. The fruit features a sweet flavor suitable for fresh eating, baking, jams, and juices. Hardy in USDA Zones 3 to 8, this variety prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. In autumn, the green foliage turns shades of red and yellow.

This product is a dormant cutting that will take root, leaf out, and grow if planted under the right conditions.
