Description
The White Currant is a mild, almost honey‑sweet sister of the red variety, tasting wonderfully fresh straight from the bush. Its translucent berries are an attractive eye‑catcher and popular with children. Varieties such as 'Weiße Versailler' produce reliably and abundantly.
Care instructions
Plant the shrub in autumn (October, week 43) in a sunny spot in loose, humus‑rich soil. It fruits on perennial wood—prune in winter (February, week 7) only the oldest, worn‑out shoots and keep the center light. Mulch the root area and water evenly during dry periods.
