DECIDUOUS. Ribes nigrum, commonly known as Blackcurrant, is a deciduous shrub prized for its small, glossy, dark purple to black berries. These berries have a tart, earthy flavour and are typically harvested in late spring to early summer in Australia. Blackcurrant bushes can grow to heights of 1 to 1.5 meters, making them a valuable addition to Australian gardens and orchards, where they thrive in temperate climates.
