Golden currants (Ribes aureum) are wild bushes that grow up to nine feet tall. In April, they start blooming and there is usually a profusion of sweet-smelling yellow blooms (the species name, aureum, means ‘golden’). As is shown in the picture, these flowers are highly attractive to wild honey bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. The black, red, or yellow fruits are sweet and tasty and they make excellent preserves. This is also a medicinal plant.
Amazing it grows so tall. I bet thats awesome to see.
I planted one of these at church last year, too. The deer trimmed it late in the year, but it is coming back vigorously.
