Currants

Consort/Ben Sarek

 

Consort and Ben Sarek are extremely productive, serf-fertile varieties of currants that ripen early to mid-season.  The black fruits have a strong flavor, are medium in size, and borne in clusters.  The fruit is wonderful in jellies, jams, and sauces.  Their soft rich green leaves turn bright orange, yellow, or red in the fall.  Matures 6 feet.

 

Red Lake

 

Red Lake produces clusters of large, red berries that possess a mild flavor.  Hardy and vigorous, it is considered by many to be the best red currant variety.  Hits glossy, green-leafed plant is suitable for hedging and is highly ornamental.  Red Lake provides visual appeal and takes up a relatively small growing area.  Mid to late season.  Matures 3 to 5 feet.
