This red currant selection from Holland is a heavy producer of large dark red, fine flavored fruit. It is mildew and aphid resistant. Considered by many to be the best flavored red currant variety in the world.

Red currants are among the most beautiful of edible ornamentals. With their full complement of gorgeous red currant clusters, these bushes are stunningly beautiful ornamentals. The attractive fruit and foliage and resistance to mildew and leaf spot make our red currant selections favorites for the edible landscape. Bright, shiny, red clusters of fruit are striking in the garden and they enhance any dish to which they are added. High quality fruit is excellent for jams, jellies and sauces, and it has considerable health benefits, including high quantities of vitamin C and potassium. Red currants are self-fertile. USDA Zones 3-8.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • What color do the leaves turn in the fall?

    Gold/Yellow/Red

  • How many chill hours does the Jonkheer Van Tets red current variety need to produce fruit? Thank you!

    800+ chilling hours

  • Are those NON GMO?

    These are non-GMO.

  • I know a lot of people train this variety as a cordon because of its unruly bushy habit, but can you also train it as a standard? Would there be any issue with that? Thank you for your help!

    There is no problem growing it in a standard form. Commerical growing techniques are all about maximizing yield and minimizing labor. In a home setting most commerical growing techniques aren't relevant.

Perfect!

Package came alive and no damage. Plant has already been planted and is growing very well 🙂

Arrived a bit late for Zone 8b as far as bare root planting goes. With temps in the high 80’s and hovering around 90’s , the late delivery makes for a very short time frame to get established before triple digit temperatures arise here in the high desert.
Currants are a particularly finicky plant and prefer cooler temps for establishing. I do think, Raintree Nutsery should account for zonal temperatures with certain products they offer during certain times of the year.
Other than that, products were in excellent condition at time of delivery , sprouting new growth and larger than expected!

Very healthy bare root.

This plant came to life within a week of planting, and now after 1 month of growth is very vigorous.
