thumbnail The white currant (whitecurrant) is a sport of the red currant (''Ribes rubrum''), a species of flowering plant in the family Grossulariaceae, native to Europe. It is a deciduous shrub growing to tall and broad, with palmate leaves, and masses of spherical, edible fruit (berries) in summer. The white currant differs from the red currant only in the colour and flavour of these fruits, which are a translucent white. ==Cultivation== Unlike their close relative the blackcurrant, red and white currants are cultivated for their ornamental value as well as their berries. Currant bushes do best in partial to full sunlight. They are relatively low-maintenance plants. The cultivar 'White Grape' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=1629 )〕 There are also cultivars with yellow and pink fruit, called respectively yellow currants and pink currants. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「white currant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
