Redcurrant - Jonkeer van Tets

Jonkeer is a modern, Dutch variety, high yielding with masses of red translucent berries. A relatively early variety, ripening in late June - early July. Raised in our organic certified nursery in Stroud.

All our redcurrants are grown from cuttings taken from our own mother plants. A well cared for redcurrant plant can live for 15 years and provide over 3kg of fruit each year.

Planting and Care

Redcurrants thrive in full sun and tolerate partial shade. Allow at least 1m x 1m for each plant to grow into, preferably more. When planting, ensure that the roots are well spread out - don’t curl or squash them into the planting hole. After planting, water well, especially in a dry spring.

You may need to protect your crop from the birds with netting or a fruit cage.
