 The black currant is a perennial small shrub to 2m (6ft) with woody branches,lacking spines,which has five- lobed, aromatic leaves. The flowers are purplish-green and hang in spikes from the stems.Clusters of edible black berries, rich in vitamin C, are produced in mid-summer and are much loved by birds. Several moths are closely associated with this plant including the magpie moth. Black currant grows in the wild as a long-established garden escape, occurring in wet woods and shaded streamsides.The strongly perfumed leaves are dark green, dotted beneath, and borne on long stalks. Appearing in alternate pairs or in clusters, the leaves are divided into three or five rounded lobes with serrated margins. In spring, greenish-white flowers hang from the axils in clusters, followed by the familiar small, soft, dark purple berries.

 Harvest:The best time for gathering black currant leaves is early in the spring before any insect damage has appeared.
