Redcurrant Rovada Fruit Plant is a heavy-cropping late-season variety producing long strings of large, glossy red currants that are particularly easy to harvest. Ripening from July into August, the bright, tangy berries are excellent for summer puddings, desserts and redcurrant jelly.

This RHS Award of Garden Merit variety forms a productive bush and grows well in full sun or partial shade. It can also be trained as a cordon or fan where space is limited.
