About White Cherry Currant Plants

Some of the sweetest currants! The White Cherry currant plant is a small shrub native to Europe and Asia that produces clusters of sweet berries in early summer. It is a member of the Ribes genus and is closely related to other currant species, such as the black currant and red currant. White Cherry currant is known for its small, white flowers that bloom in the spring and early summer. These flowers are followed by plump, blushed berries that ripen in the summer and fall.

The edible berries have a sweet, tart flavor, significantly sweeter than red and black currants. The fruit is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. The traditionally tart berries are used to make cordial, jelly, jams, added to baked goods, and summer puddings.

In addition to its tasty berries, the white cherry currant plant is also valued for its attractive flowers and leaves. The leaves are dark green and glossy, and they provide a nice contrast to the white flowers. The shrub also has a compact, rounded shape that makes it an excellent choice for hedges, borders, and foundation plantings. It is also a popular choice for wildlife gardens, as the berries are a favorite food of birds and other wildlife.
