ZITAVIA

Product Description:

Ribes rubrum Zitavia white currant is a disease-resistant shrub that produces large, juicy, slightly translucent berries on long, elegant clusters. Upright and attractive in form, it adds beauty to any yard or landscape, with striking fruit-laden branches that catch the eye. White currants are cherished for their sweet, delicate flavor, perfect for fresh eating, preserves, or baking. They are naturally rich in antioxidants and contain more vitamin C than oranges. Both their bold taste and impressive nutrition make them a truly exceptional addition to the garden. Self-fertile and hardy in zones 3-8.   

Currant plants will ship bareroot starting in late January and will be about 2 feet tall at time of shipment. Order early for best availability. Available only within the contiguous US. Not available to DE, MA, ME, MI, NC, NH, RI, VA, WV.
