About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A modern white currant from Czech breeding that convinces with healthy foliage and an even crop. It is self fertile, so a second variety for pollination is not needed. The medium sized, yellowish white berries ripen early in the season and sit on well filled strigs. The bush grows evenly and moderately vigorously and shows particular resistance to currant leaf spot.

Pleasantly sweet and tart with a clear aroma and hardly any bitter note. Very productive for jelly and juice, but it also tastes good straight from the bush.
