Editing Ribes cereum (section)

== Cultivation ==

=== Soil and water ===

Use a sharply drained mineral soil or a well-drained rocky or gravelly loam. A raised or sloping position is a closer match to the species' dry ravine, ridge, slope, and meadow settings than a site that stays wet after irrigation. <sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup> <sup id="cite_ref-3">[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup>

Keep the root zone from remaining persistently saturated. The species' dry ravines, ridges, slopes, and meadows make drainage a stronger site priority than constant moisture. <sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup> <sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup>

=== Sun and humidity ===

''Ribes cereum'' is shade-intolerant but is also listed for part shade; the documented ecotype came from open ridges, slopes, and dry meadows. Bright exposure is therefore preferable where the soil drains freely. <sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup> <sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup>

=== Seasonal changes ===

Fruit ripens in July–August, and red-ripe fruit was collected in August for nursery propagation. Plan seed collection for late summer and distinguish ripe red berries from earlier green or developing fruit. <sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup> <sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup>
