About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You have ‚Blanka’, a productive, late‑ripening white currant from a Czech breeding, known for its exceptionally long clusters. It is self‑fertile and does not need a pollinator. The berries hang on stalks up to ten centimeters long, making them especially easy to harvest. The shrub grows robustly upright, looks healthy and is resistant to leaf drop and powdery mildew.

Mild, juicy and balanced with a fine acidity. Because of its long ripening period, it extends the currant season pleasantly into the far summer.
