Red Currant vs Brianna Grape
Ribes rubrum
Vitis x Brianna
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.
Although this shrub is self-fertile, it will be more productive if another pollinator is present. For year over year high yields, ensure you fertilize (bone meal), prune, and mulch your Red Currant shrub.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Red Currant seeds at SeedTime.ca.
Brianna Grape is a new grape variety with unique, tropical aromas of mango, banana, and pineapple. Ripening in September, you can use the grapes for juice, white wine, and fresh eating.
Not only is this one of the tastiest grapes on the prairies, it also has above average disease resistance. Consider partnering Brianna Grape with another grape variety to get a higher yield.
Note: We do not ship grape vines to BC due to regulatory restrictions from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
