About this product
Redcurrant "Jonkheer van Tets" (Ribes rubrum) is an early Dutch variety with large, glossy dark-red berries.
The clusters are long and the berries relatively sweet with a thin skin. The bush is tall and productive; the branches can be brittle, so tie them up in windy places.
The variety is hardy and disease resistant, and the berries ripen in early summer. They are good fresh, for jelly, juice and freezing.

Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in autumn or early spring in a sunny spot with fertile, moisture-retentive soil. Set the bush 5–6 cm deeper than it grew in the pot to encourage new shoots.
Care. Mulch the soil with compost or rotted straw. Space bushes 1.2–1.5 m apart so the berries get good airflow.
Watering and feeding. Water at the root, especially while the berries are filling. Apply a nitrogen fertiliser or compost in spring and a potassium-phosphorus one in autumn.
Winter and pruning. The bush overwinters without cover. Prune in early spring or late autumn: cut out shoots older than 4–5 years, weak ones and those lying on the ground.
