Redcurrant

The redcurrant or red currant is a member of the genus Ribes in the gooseberry family. It is native to western Europe. The species is widely cultivated and has escaped into the wild in many regions. Ribes rubrum is a deciduous shrub normally growing to 1–1.5 metres (3+1⁄2–5 feet) tall, occasionally 2 m (7 ft), with five-lobed leaves arranged spirally on the stems. The flowers are inconspicuous yellow-green, in pendulous 4–8-centimetre (1+1⁄2–3+1⁄4-inch) racemes, maturing into bright red translucent edible berries about 8–12 millimetres (3⁄8–1⁄2 in) diameter, with 3–10 berries on each raceme. An established bush can produce 3–4 kilograms (6+1⁄2–8+3⁄4 pounds) of berries from mid- to late summer.
