Zone 2 - 1.25m / 4ft

Ribes nigrum

Dark black fruits are produced in clusters. A favourite for jams, and baking. Black currants need two different varieties for pollination. Our selections are resistant to pine blister rust, a disease that uses currants and gooseberries as alternate hosts when not attacking white pine. Prefers a moist well drained soil. Very adaptable plant.

Varieties:

1. Consort-Canadian introduction, medium sized, disease resistant, vigorous

2. Titania-Consort cross produced in Sweden, medium to large sized, disease resistant, vigorous

Notes:

• Requires a pollinator
