Ribes diacanthum, the Siberian currant,[1][2] is an Asian species of currant. It is native to northeastern Asia (Russia , Mongolia, Korea, northeastern China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia)).[3] The species is also sparingly naturalised in the Canadian Province of Manitoba, having escaped in the 1940s from an agricultural experiment station near Brandon.[4][5]

Ribes diacanthum is a shrub up to 2 meters (80 in) tall, dioecious (with male and female flowers on different plants). Flowers are yellow-green. Fruits are red, spherical, and reportedly good-tasting.[3]
