Add the Red Lake Red Currant to your garden and enjoy the tart fruit right off the shrub or in juice, jams, jellies, and pies. 'Red Lake' produces large berries and high yield. In the spring yellow-green flowers emerge and then give way to long, pendant clusters of bright red currents that ripen in July. The cultivar is relatively sensistive to mildew. It attracts butterflies but is ignored by rabbits. Add this medium sized shrub to your garden and enjoy the juicy summer fruit!
