Wax Currant (Ribes cereum) is an aromatic deciduous shrub native to western North America, including British Columbia and Alberta. Red or orange berries feed wildlife and have also been used in jam and pie filling, although fruit quality varies among plants.
The small waxy leaves are grey green and release a spicy scent. Drooping clusters of greenish white or pink tubular flowers open before the fruit develops. The shrub occurs in habitats from dry sagebrush and rocky woodland to mountain forest.

How to stratify seed
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
