Blackcurrant : Ben Connan

A heavy cropping, early to ripen, small bush variety, producing large 17mm (¾ inch) diameter glossy black fruits of excellent flavour. Ideal eaten as a dessert, used to make preserves and can be frozen.

Excellent pest and disease resistance.

Ready to harvest from mid July.

Currants have a long cropping season, freeze well and are perfect for pies and jams. We supply established, healthy 1 year old bare root plants which are ready pruned, with a minimum of 4 stems which will quickly establish once planted. From the second season onwards each plant will produce over 3.5kg (over 7lb) of fruit and will keep producing for up to 10 years.

Bred in Great Britain.

Blackcurrant : Ebony

The sweetest ever Blackcurrant! Outstanding dessert variety with a very high level of sweetness - giving a flavour that is as sweet as that of a tasty black cherry! The bushy plants have a slightly open, spreading habit which makes harvesting easy as well as adding to this variety's good mildew resistance.

Heavy crops of large, firm currants - each one up to twice the size of a normal blackcurrant - are produced for harvesting from early-mid July.
