Currant Red Lake

This product will not be available for the 2023 season due to supplier constraints.

Red Lake is the finest red currant with large, deep red berries. It is very strong and productive, often bearing full-bodied fruit the first year after planting. It is a compact, mounding, shrub which grows 3-5' tall and can form a decorative hedge even when not in fruit. After Red Lake currant planting, prune it back, leaving only 1 or 2 buds above the ground on each existing stem. A well maintained planting can produce bountiful harvests for many years. Red Lake is the cold hardiest and most widely grown currant. Fruits on two year old wood. Self-pollinating. Hardiness zones 3-7.
