Details
Fruitier than Yellow Currant and sweeter than Orange Currant, this tiny golden-yellow fruit is packed with flavor. These plants are quite sprawling and require either a lot of space or a very sturdy trellising system, as plants can grow to 8-10′ with huge yields. Each producing several hundred fruits, a single plant will keep you busy picking these adorable gems during peak harvesting. Great in salads, baking, or just eating by the spoonful!
