Ribes aureum (golden currant) worth keeping?

[Tropicaltoba]

Has anyone grown golden currant? I’ve got a couple of bushes that I’ve never been able to get ripe fruit from (poor production due to shade and something eating the fruits). Has anyone grown this? I wonder if it’s worth putting more effort into production/protection?

I haven't grown them yet, but I keep reading online that they're sweeter than black currants and better for eating straight off the bush, so I'm planning to grow them.

I moved them to a sunnier position in a raised bed this fall. I’m hoping that this and an extra year of maturity will allow more berries to set. I’ll try to update if I remember.

I hope it works, too!

Do you have the cultivar Crandall?  I've heard that one is particularly tasty.

That’s the one I have, grows well as a bush even in a shadier area. Looks good from an aesthetic standpoint. Just needs to be more productive. Send me a message in the fall if I forget to post.
