White Cherry White Currant

$10.00

Arguably one of the best tasting white currants, this is a beautiful upright compact bush with translucent pale golden pearl like fruits hanging in large clusters in mid July.

White currants are the sweetest of all the currants and are best for fresh eating ‘out of hand’ right in the garden. White Cherry has some of the largest berries of the white currant varieties.
