About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A proven old late variety that ripens its berries only once most other red currants have long been picked. It is self fertile and, with its late harvest reaching well into August, extends the season in the garden. The berries hold on the bush for an unusually long time without dropping or spoiling. That makes it ideal if you want to harvest in stages and stretch out the currant season.
Strongly tart with a full aroma that grows more intense through the long ripening. Excellent for juice and jelly, and good eaten fresh as well.
