Redcurrant ‘Summer Pearls Red’ boasts large, plump, ruby-like fruits which appear on pendulous springs in summer. These delicious fruits have very few seeds and a tart flavour making them ideal for making preserves and jellies. Redcurrant ‘Summer Pearls Red’ is a reliable variety that produces an abundance of fruits which will fast become a favourite in your allotment or kitchen garden.Height and spread: 120cm (47″). Redcurrants prefer a position in full sun but will tolerate semi shade. Shelter from cold winds and late spring frosts as these conditions may damage the flowers, and reduce the yield of fruit later in the year. Grow redcurrants in rich, moist, well drained soil. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure into the ground prior to planting. Plant redcurrant bushes between late autumn and spring, at a distance of 1.5m (5’) apart and a depth of 5cm (2”) lower than the soil mark on the stem. Planting redcurrants slightly deep will encourage the production of extra stems from below ground level.
