I guess my question is.......why all the interest in a red currant of which there are many available. Is it the name?

Do all red currants that I've grown taste the same? Nope. Have I grown this charmingly named Everglades Wild one that has brought money to the person who first started selling it with that name online and has done so for years?

Have I grown the Everglades one at the same time I'm growing, for instance Sara's Galapagos, which is my fave wee fruited one? Nope, I haven't done that either.

Is it all about marketing?

As I mentioned in my post above, red currants grow wild from FL all along the Gulf Coast.

Only those of you who have grown it or are interested in growing it can answer that question.
