Currant

Currants are hardy, productive shrubs that provide clusters of flavourful berries perfect for fresh eating, baking, jams, jellies, syrups, and preserves. Their attractive foliage, spring blossoms, and compact growth habit make them a great addition to edible landscapes, home gardens, and mixed borders.

We carry popular varieties including Black Consort and Red Lake. Black currants produce dark, rich berries with a distinctive flavour, while Red Lake currants offer bright red fruit with a tart, refreshing taste. Each variety provides its own unique flavour, harvest time, and growth habit.

Currants are generally self-fertile and can produce fruit from a single plant, though planting multiple varieties can help extend the harvest season and increase overall production.

Regular fertilizing encourages strong root development, healthy growth, abundant flowering, and larger berry crops. Proper care supports overall plant health, helping your currant shrubs produce reliable harvests for years to come.
