Rovada Red Currant

I was very disappointed with the tiny size and lack of roots on this cutting. It died within week of planting.

I’m located in Clark County zone 8 in an unusual weather pocket that tends to stay colder a bit longer with lots of heavy snow in the winter months. I planted the Rovada Red Currants in partial shade with morning sun and are thriving beautifully. I have two Rosettas (which are very small in comparison) and two Rovada and the Rovada has grown quite large. It took 3 years for the fruit yield off of two bushes to become substantial I did get some fruit the second year, they require minimal care to maintain. I have been amending with compost in the fall and spring they seem to love it. I was able to make 12 pints of red currant jam last summer with the berry harvest and it was delicious. As an added bonus the deer leave them alone! I will definitely be adding more of these to my edible landscape.

Got plenty of green leafs once planted. Plant is healthy.

Love the way they packaged the roots/ plants. Very secure. The plants look healthy with well-established roots.

I ordered three currant plants, and they are great!

I bought several varieties of currant, and they all exceeded my expectations in every way. The plants I received are taller than some bareroots that I had planted last year, and they all began showing strong growth within a week of planting

It’s only been a week since I planted the red currant starts from Raintree Nursery and already, I’m very pleased. The bareroot plants I received were carefully packed and have already leafed out beautifully. There are even buds coming! Healthy plants, shipped in good time, environmentally conscious packaging. My first order was handled so well and the plants are doing just great.
