Currant, Alpine

ALPINE CURRANT  Ribes alpinum
• A very hardy, compact deciduous shrub widely used for hedging due to its dense branching, small bright‑green leaves, and excellent tolerance of pruning; maintains a neat, formal shape with minimal effort.
• Produces tiny yellow‑green spring flowers that are not showy.
• Female plants may produce small red berries, though fruiting is sparse and not considered ornamental or edible.
• Exceptionally adaptable, thriving in sun or shade, clay or loam, and urban conditions; highly tolerant of wind, drought once established, and cold prairie climates.
• Full Sun to Full Shade
• Zone 2, 1–1.5 m Height × 1–1.5 m Width
