(Ribes uva-crispa) -Full Sun to Part Shade–  Smaller, very Sweet-Tart berries, self fertile

We got the parent plant from a friend who called it ‘Catherine,’ but the fruit doesn’t match up to that variety’s description.  We are very impressed with it’s flavor–we decided to call it ‘Candysweet’.  It is a prolific bearer of dime-sized, super sweet reddish round fruits.  Showing similar drought-hardiness and adaptability as Pink Round.  Self fertile.

Thorny bushes naturally deter deer; the refreshing, sweet-tart, crispy berries are definitely worth dealing with thorns!   These are the most productive berries in our gardens per square-foot of space and time invested in managing them.   We only offer varieties that are very sweet when ripe and have not shown powdery-mildew on their foliage.   Bushes are thorny and reach 5’x5’ if left unpruned.   Pruning can easily keep them 3’x3’. Self fertile.
