About Red Currant
Red currants produce clusters of jewel-like berries in early summer — tart, high in pectin, and exceptional for jams, jellies, and juice. One of the most cold-hardy small fruits available.
Plant in a sheltered spot with good air circulation. Fruits on two and three-year-old wood — prune out older stems annually. Harvest full clusters in midsummer. Birds love them, so net the bush as they ripen.
Gardening in Nunavut
Nunavut has an arctic climate. Gardening is extremely challenging — primarily done in heated greenhouses. Traditional food gathering is more practical than conventional growing.
