Ribes rubrum 'Red Lake'
Ribes rubrum 'Red Lake', also known as the 'Red Lake' redcurrant, is a mid-season variety highly valued for its consistency and high yield.

In summer, it produces long, well-filled clusters of translucent, bright red fruits, offering a remarkable visual impact. Its spring blossoms, discreet but melliferous, promote abundant fruit set. Very hardy and reliable in a Nordic climate, Ribes rubrum 'Red Lake' adapts to full sun or partial shade. It prefers rich, cool, well-drained soil to ensure sustained production and consistently high-quality fruit.
