Ribes spicatum 'Swedish White'

The Swedish White Currant is valued for its appealing, sweet, and translucent berries that mature in mid-July. These small, upright shrubs showcase long clusters of fruit that create a stunning display in the garden. With blooms in early spring, they offer visual interest throughout the season. Currants are nutrient-rich, boasting higher vitamin C levels than oranges and abundant antioxidants. They thrive in well-drained soil with half a day to full sun exposure and are self-fertile. Hardy to –40°F, these shrubs typically begin fruiting within 1–2 years, reaching 3–5 feet tall and yielding 10–20 pounds of fruit.
