About the Alpine Currant :
The Alpine Currant, Ribes
alpinum, is a very hardy
hedge plant that can be kept

by insects or plant
diseases.
The Alpine Currant can
survive the coldest of
winter climates with annual
temperatures as low as -50°
Fahrenheit. It does well in
dry soils. Alpine currant is
drought tolerant
