White Imperial Currants

[Smokymist]

Well, I rooted 6" cuttings, 5-6 years ago.... left them in pots, watched them grow. And this year....my first fruits. Like all my fruits, it's a bountiful year... I was so proud of them and happy to see them produce. In love with the color.
I know that's a long time and they probably would have grown faster had I put them in the ground, but like everything, I am hoping to take it with me, when I move...

How do they taste? They look so cool!

Those are cool. Like transparent pearls. I wonder about taste too.

Really sweet,and tart, different...and the it took me a bit to realize I can eat the little seed.

Thank you so much. I am so terrible at making long videos , so I just chalk it up to having fun.

Sweetly tart , unlilke any other fruit I have, and you just eat the seed inside too, which took me a bit to get used to, but it's soft.

Sweet and tart if that makes sense.

Sweet and tart if that makes sense.

I kind of want to know for myself. I wonder if they’d grow here. I need to look this up

 

[TorontoJoe]

Down to zone 3. Impressive!

Tart is right! I always wait to pick until they sweeten, but then the birds steal them all. They don't ever sweeten either so pick them while you can! Jams or incorporating them seems important since they're not good for fresh eating straight up unfortunately.

 

[Smokymist]

Yes the birds stole half of mine.....my idea is to grow them for jam making, but I was ok with the straight up eating too.

I guess if I grow these I’m netting. I don’t mind sharing, but only to a point.
