White Currant (Ribes Rubrum Alba)

This prolific-fruiting sport of the red currant (Ribes rubrum), produces heavy trusses of fruit in summer. It differs from the red currant mainly in the strong, fruity, tangy flavour, and when completely ripe is an amazing translucent pearl-white . Making a striking addition to fresh fruit salads, it is an easy-to-grow, long-lived bush, fruiting and improving yearly with little care other than an occasional removal of very old stems.
