Ribes alpinum, commonly called alpine currant, is a compact, mound-forming shrub which grows 3-6' tall. Bright green leaves are 3-5 lobed, turning to a dull yellow in fall. Flowers are greenish-yellow and inconspicuous. Dioecious (separate male and female plants). Fruit on female plants is an inedible, scarlet berry. However, most plants of this species which are sold commercially are male clones (males are reportedly immune to rust diseases). Stems are chestnut brown and may exfoliate (peel) as they mature.
Genus name comes from the Danish word ribs meaning red currant.
Specific epithet means of the alpine.
No serious insect or disease problems. In wet, humid conditions, anthracnose and leaf spot can be troublesome. Currant aphid, scale and currant bud mite are occasional insect pests. Although white pine blister rust is not a problem in Missouri, females of this species may be an alternate host for the disease and should not be planted in parts of the U.S. where the disease is prevalent (particularly in the East and Northwest). Fourteen (14) states still maintain various types of bans on Ribes, the most restrictive being the total ban on all species in North Carolina. Missouri has no restrictions on Ribes plants.
Excellent hedge. Can also be massed in the shrub border.
