Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

Ribes glandulosum, skunk currant has a cool spikey glandular fruit, but smooth stems without and bristles or thorns.. because it's a currant. less bristly than the prickly gooseberry, but similar crazy dangerous sea urchin look to the fruit. has a slightly skunky scent if you hold the leaves right to your nose, and the fruit are probably an ok edible, if you like something unusual.
