Ribes rubrum 'Fays'
Ribes rubrum 'Fays', known as 'Fays' redcurrant, is a deciduous fruit shrub prized for its vigor and abundant production of bright red currants, gathered in decorative hanging clusters. Its dense, well-structured bushy habit easily integrates into vegetable gardens, fruit hedges, or edible gardens. In spring, small, discreet greenish flowers appear, attracting pollinating insects and ensuring good fruit set. The clusters produce numerous translucent, juicy, and tangy currants, with the bright flavor typical of redcurrants. These fruits are excellent for making jellies, jams, syrups, pastries, or for fresh consumption. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, they are highly valued in food gardens. The lobed green foliage offers a dense, natural texture and releases a characteristic faint vegetal scent when crushed.
