Redcurrant Jonkheer Van Tet
(Ribes rubrum 'Jonkheer Van Tet')

Redcurrant Jonkheer Van Tet is one of the earliest croppers. It is well known for its amazing heavy yields of delicious, red fruits, too.

Redcurrant Jonkheer Van Tet is a Dutch variety, with juicy berries that droop down on long stems, making picking twice as easy! Being one of the loveliest flavoured currants, it's extremely popular amongst gardeners, especially for its ease of maintenance.

Jonkheer Van Tet is the perfect starter fruit for any beginner, and will reach an ultimate height and spread of 1.8m x 1.5m in good conditions.

Be sure to plant your currant bush in full sun, and in light sandy/thin chalky soil, that is well-draining and has an acidic pH.

  • Ideal height: 1.2m-1.5m Medium
  • Soil type: Light sandy, thin chalky, acidic
  • Aspect: Full sun
  • Evergreen foliage? No
  • Crops: Early June

As this is a bare root plant, soak the roots for at least 2 hours before planting, after they arrive. Plant as soon as you can. If the ground is frozen, place into a temporary pot that's filled with decent compost- once the conditions have improved, move the currant place to the ground.

Keep the plant well-watered during dry weather. Make sure you fertilise the bush with Rootgrow in Spring, too. Once your Redcurrant has been growing for 3 years, you can prune all the branches by one-third. We also highly recommend protecting your bushes against birds by putting a net over the fruiting plants. Besides this, this is a very easy plant to maintain, needing very little special care.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
