Currants (Red)
Cascade: Matures early. Fruit is large and dark red, but vigor and productivity is only medium.
Jonkeers Van Tets: Produces heavy yields. Fruit is dark red and has a very good flavor. Resistant to mildew and aphids; susceptible to botrytis.
Red Lake: A vigorous, hardy, and productive variety. The fruit is large, bright red when mature, and of good quality. The long-stemmed clusters are easy to pick. Susceptible to powdery mildew.
Rovada: A dependable producer. It blooms and fruits late, so frost is less of a problem than with other varieties. Resistant to powdery mildew and other leaf diseases.
Wilder: Very much like Red Lake--high yielding with good-quality berries. Has more resistance to leaf spot.
