About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A healthy, dependable white currant from Czech breeding, valued for its mild flavour and its toughness. It is self-fertile and crops well even as a single bush. The yellowish-white berries sit on medium-length strigs and ripen over a longer period, so you can harvest in stages. The bush grows compactly and moderately vigorously and stays pleasingly resistant to fungal diseases.

Strikingly mild and sweet with only a restrained acidity, which makes it distinctly child-friendly. A fine bush for nibbling fresh, but it also gives a pale, clear jelly.
