Rovada Redcurrant
Rovada redcurrants are simply the best redcurrant variety available today. Rovada is almost the perfect redcurrant bush. The berries are carried in long strings to make picking easy, yields are enormous and the redcurrants themselves are outstandingly tasty. Unmistakably redcurrant.
All redcurrants like a bit of room to breathe. Rovada should be grown at 140cms spacing in the row and with 150cms between the rows.
New this year, we have a limited stock of Rovada grown as redcurrant cordons. These are well worth think about as cordon redcurrants need far less space than bushes; you can plant them just 75cms (18") apart. When grown against a wall, cordon redcurrants are also much easier to protect against birds. Of course they do not crop as heavily as a full sized bush, cordon redcurrants can still be extremely productive relative to the space they occupy. (Our Rovada redcurrant cordons are 2 year old plants, single stemmed and about 90cms tall)
