Wild Currant
A hardy, bushy shrub producing masses of small berries that ripen from green to deep black. Sweet and tangy when fully ripe, the fruit is ideal for fresh eating, jams, sauces and preserves. Native to northern Australia, Wild Currant thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates a range of soils once established. A wonderful addition to a bushfood garden, it also supports local birdlife and pollinators. Plant for flavour, resilience and a true taste of the wild.
How to grow
Native to warmer climates but will tolerate light frosts. For best results, we recommend buying two or more Wild Currant plants to increase the chances of fruiting. Antidesma’s are dioecious but erostre like some of its other related species, and can fruit quite well even without the presence of a male.
