About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

The classic white currant par excellence, at home in gardens for more than 150 years. It is self fertile, so you need no second variety for pollination. The long strigs carry yellowish white, almost translucent berries with a much milder flavour than red varieties. The bush grows moderately vigorously and yields reliably well, but should be thinned out regularly.

Mild and harmonious, far less sour than red currants. A treat fresh for the whole family; children happily eat them straight from the bush.
