Height, branching, and root size vary per plant. An immediate harvest after planting is not guaranteed. Early flowering and harvest Small green-white flowers appear in spring. The first berries may ripen from late June, depending on the season and location. Allow the fruit to turn fully red and taste before picking. Preferably harvest complete bunches. By combining this early variety with a later variety such as Rovada, you can harvest redcurrants for a longer period. Birds enjoy eating the berries; if necessary, protect ripening berries with a well-placed net. Plant rootstock Preferably plant immediately after receipt during the dormant period, as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged. Keep the roots moist and protected from wind and sun while working. Make the planting hole wide enough to spread the roots, backfill carefully, and water generously. If you cannot plant immediately, temporarily bury the roots in moist soil. Location and care Choose sun or light partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive, and well-drained soil. More sun promotes ripening. Water sufficiently after planting and during drought, especially when the berries are growing. A layer of compost mulch helps retain moisture and limits weeds. Leave the base of the branches free. Pollination and pruning Red currants are self-pollinating; a second variety is not necessary. Pollinating insects aid in fruit set. The bush bears fruit on older wood and short fruiting branches. In winter, remove dead and crossing wood and keep the center open. Rejuvenate gradually by removing a few old branches at the base. Do not cut back all branches every year. Winter care The redcurrant is hardy and deciduous. In winter, the branches are bare; this is part of the dormant period. In spring, leaves and flowers reappear. A mature shrub can reach a height of approximately 1.75 to 2 meters, depending on location and pruning.
