Product Description

5 Blackcurrant Bush 'Ben Nevis' Multistemmed Plants, Make Great Preserves

 

These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant.The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.

 

Blackcurrants are vigorous, multi-stemmed bushes that fruit on both old and new wood, but the latter carry the best crops and so cultivation aims to feed and prune the plants to continually renew the stems

 

Ben Nevis will produce well flavoured medium sized blackcurrants which are ready for picking from late July. The fruits are very large and ripen evenly on short strigs. It has good resistance to mildew and frost.
