White Currants

Choosing the Right White Currants

White currants are pale-fruited forms of red currant with a gentler flavor and less visual staining in the kitchen. They are useful where you want currant productivity without the strongest tartness.

Treat them like red currants: fertile soil, steady moisture, moderate summer heat, and pruning that renews fruiting wood. Their light fruit may draw less bird pressure, but netting may still be needed.
