About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
One of the earliest red currants and for decades a dependable classic in the home garden. It is self fertile, so you do not need a second variety for pollination. The long strigs hang full of medium sized, bright red berries that already ripen at the end of June. The bush grows strongly and upright and crops reliably, but should be thinned out regularly.
Tangy and tart with a clear, fresh redcurrant aroma. Refreshing straight from the bush, ideal for juice, jelly and cakes.
