Currant Red Lake Redlake is a glossy green leafed plant suitable for hedging. Fruits can be used for jams and jellies. The bushes are highly ornamental and provide visual appeal, take up a relatively small growing area, and provide plenty of fruit for eating fresh or making into preserves and pies. Currants are very high in vitamin C and cancer preventative antioxidants. Northern slopes with protection from direct sun are ideal. Avoid sites with poor air circulation, which increases the incidence of powdery mildew. Rich, well drained soils that have a high moisture holding capacity are best. Incorporate organic matter (compost, peat, or manure) to improve the soil, particularly if it is somewhat sandy.
