This is our Red Current berry shrub that my MIL gave me! Over time they do get large. Over the winter when the Lil Man is over at Oma & Omp's place he likes jumping on their bed and looking out the window to see if the birds are eating any of the berries. Her Red Current bush is as high as their window. Oma has informed me that you can make jam with these berries but they are sour. I love having it in the garden! It's a perennial and it's a great food source for the Birds.
As I was working on this post I realised I do not have many great photos of this shrub, so these two will have to do. I usually trim it down in the fall because it seems to grow a lot each year and I don't want it getting too big. I am thinking this year I will leave it to trim in the spring of 2016!
Have a lovely Monday!
