Wild Black Currant Ribes Americanum 3 Gal

In the Ribes family, along with Gooseberry which has thorns, American Black Currant is thornless and is found in moist woodlands, streambanks, sandy sedge meadows, and rocky ravines as an understory shrub. Though adaptable to many conditions, including dry sites, American Black Currant prefers wet areas where it is supplied with consistently moist soils.

American Black Currant is small in overall size and does not clump or sucker which makes it a great choice for limited spaces. It also has a shallow, unaggressive root system and can easily be hedged. All of these qualities put it in the category of a great landscape plant.
