Red Currant vs Common BlueberryRibes rubrum Vaccinium myrtilloides NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2020) NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON 
Red Currant is a deciduous shrub native to western Europe. It features five-lobed, maple-like leaves, and bright red berries that can be used in jams, sauces, and fresh eating.
Common Blueberry isn't as large, pretty, or high yielding as the other varieties we carry. But Common Blueberry is our only blueberry that will survive in plant hardiness zones 1A to 2B. So if you happen to live in one of these zones, this is the variety for you. RED CURRANT QUICK FACTSCOMMON BLUEBERRY QUICK FACTS
