Ribes rubrum 'Sabine'
Ribes rubrum 'Sabine', known as 'Sabine' red currant, is a deciduous fruit shrub prized for its productivity and adaptability to cold climates. It forms a compact, well-branched bush, perfect for vegetable gardens, fruit hedges, or edible gardens. In spring, small, discreet greenish flowers appear, attracting pollinating insects and encouraging abundant fruit production. The drooping clusters bear numerous bright red, translucent, and very juicy currants. Their refreshing tart flavor is ideal for jellies, jams, syrups, desserts, and pastries, but also for fresh eating. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, these small fruits are highly valued in cooking. The lobed green foliage adds an ornamental texture to the garden and releases a light vegetal scent when crushed.
