Silver Creek Nursery Ltd.

Potted Rovada Currant

Available only for pick-up at nursery.

Species: Ribes rubrum

History: Although there appears to be little information on its origins, we know Rovada was bred in the Netherlands and is the top commercial variety in Europe. Some even say it is the #1 variety in the world!

Why We Grow It: Rovada has its reputation for a reason! It is known for producing abundant clusters of large, bright red berries that are eye-catching and easy to pick. The berries are good for fresh eating since they are sweeter than other currants and great for making jams, pies, and more. The bush itself is resistant to powdery mildew and quite cold hardy.

Shipping: Every year we ship thousands of plants across Canada. We carefully bag roots in damp sawdust, then box them and send them out via courier. CLICK HERE to see our shipping policy.

Pick-up: We also have thousands of trees picked up from our nursery each year. The pick-up options is free, though you must wait until you have been emailed a confirmation that your order is ready to pick up, which will have further information such as hours, locations, etc.

We have simplified our crop inventory for grafted fruit trees into two sizes:

1m+ Grade: this often has some feathering, and is measured including the rootstock.

50-80cm Grade: this is like a 'b-grade' tree, sometimes with minor scaring or bent, these trees are priced accordingly.
