    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Firm and juicy, luminous white berries have the faintest pink blush. These pretty berries have a pleasant, sweet flavor and are of excellent quality. This currant ripens mid-season on vigorous and productive 5-6' shrubs. Greenish flowers in spring are not especially showy, but they are loved by pollinators. Makes a great hedge choice for edible gardens. S/M
