Antidesma erostre

Wild Currant is a medium tropical shrub that produces sweet, dark berries in large, grape-like clusters through late summer. They start out a pinkish white and darken to red and black as their flavours develop.

This is a hardy plant that handles a range of soil types and will weather light frosts and winds – however its ideal growing conditions are rich, fertile soil and warm, sunny climes. With its dark green, glossy leaves, it makes an attractive ornamental plant in the garden or in a pot.
Wild Currant can be trimmed to make an interesting native edible hedge.
