Black Currant
Black currants (Ribes nigrum) are a hardy, fast-growing shrub that produces clusters of small, deep purple berries bursting with a bold, tart flavor and a rich, earthy aroma. Their distinctive taste combines tangy acidity with sweet undertones, making them perfect for fresh eating, jams, and syrups. The leaves also release a pleasant, woodsy scent when crushed. Thriving in well-drained soil and partial to full sun, black currant bushes are resilient and easy to maintain, offering high yields with minimal care. A must-have for any fruit garden, these nutrient-packed berries attract pollinators while rewarding growers with a unique and flavorful harvest.
Freedom Black Currant is a newer variety known for being completely rust-resistant, making it an excellent choice for growers in areas prone to white pine blister rust. It produces large, sweet-tart berries on vigorous, upright bushes, offering a high yield with minimal disease concerns.
Titania Black Currant is a fast-growing, cold-hardy variety that stands out for its resilience and high productivity, even in shorter growing seasons. Its berries are slightly smaller but intensely flavorful, with a robust, tart taste perfect for preserves and juice.
