About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Probably the most productive red currant of all, with exceptionally long, evenly set strigs. It ripens late and is self-fertile, so you bring in a rich harvest even without a second variety. The large berries sit loosely on the strig, which makes them especially easy to pick. The healthy, robust bush is regarded as little prone to disease and is a first recommendation for new plantings.

Mild and balanced, less tart than older varieties. The long strigs look just as beautiful on the bush as they do on the plate.
