White currant bushes grow up to about 2 meters. White currant fruits contain a large amount of vitamin C, PP, potassium, iron, fiber, sugar, and others. They have a sweet-sour taste and are very delicate. This variety is frost-resistant.

Uses: White currant fruits are suitable for direct consumption and for preserves, juices, tinctures, jams, jellies. White currants can also be grown in large pots or boxes.

Blooming and fruiting: It blooms in April. The flowers are inconspicuous, gathered in long clusters, pale yellow. The fruits are round, pale cream-colored, gathered in long clusters. They fruit from late July to August. White currant fruits are very healthy, rich in vitamin C, P, B vitamins, provitamin A, biotin, and folic acid.

Care: Requires fertile soil with a slightly acidic pH, it is good to fertilize it, pH 6.2-6.7.
Sunny positions. The bush should be planted deeper than it was in the pot. Young bushes should be planted
in the fall or early spring. Plant them 1-1.5m apart.

Pruning: After planting, cut the seedling to 2-3 buds. This type of pruning will cause it to have 6-9 new shoots in the first year after planting. In the following years, we "thin out" the bushes to prevent excessive density. White currant mainly fruits on short shoots, so we need to encourage the plant to branch. The best fruits appear on the branching skeleton shoots of 2-, 3-, and 4-year-old stems. Do not cut one-year-old shoots, only old, 5- and 6-year-old ones. For 5 years from planting, we shorten one-year-old shoots by half their length. Branches that excessively thicken the bush, cross, are weak, or lie on the ground, should be completely removed. In the 6th year, in the 3rd year or after harvest, cut the oldest 5-year-old shoots, leaving the same amount of one-year-olds, shortening them for better branching. The bush should then have 3-4 one-, two-, three-, and four-year-old shoots. Maintaining this balance is the key to a bountiful harvest.
