Black currant (lat. Ribes nigrum)

Deciduous shrub, 1-2 m high. Young shoots are fluffy, pale, adults are brown.

The leaves are 3-5 cm long and wide, with jagged edges, three-five-lobed with golden glands along the veins, dark green.

Inflorescences are drooping racemes 3-5 cm long, 5-10-flowered, with bare or fluffy pedicels 3-8 mm long and bracts 1-2 mm long, the shape of which varies from oval to linear-lanceolate. The flowers are 7-9 mm long, 4-6 mm in diameter, five-membered, bell-shaped, lilac or pinkish-gray, mostly densely pubescent on the outside.

The fruit is an edible fragrant berry, with an average diameter of 1 cm, black-brown or greenish, with a glossy skin and seeds.

Blooms in May - June. Fruits in July. The leaves fall late and the plant often remains with green leaves until winter. It is cultivated for its fragrant berries.

The plant prefers well-lit places, although it tolerates partial shade, but it blooms less often. Prefers light, loose, well-moistened fertile loams; it grows poorly on soils with high acidity. It is quite frost-resistant, but in areas with little snowy winters the entire above-ground part often freezes over.

USDA Hardiness Zone: 3 (-40°C to -34°C).
