A very late ripening redcurrant that is exceptionally heavy yielding. The berries are large and flavoursome and borne on long trusses. Good disease resistance.

RHS Award of Garden Merit  RHS Perfect for Pollinators


Season: from early Aug.

Gooseberries and currants are delicious eaten fresh, freeze well and are perfect for making pies, jams and jellies. They are easy to grow and heavy yielding and although they prefer a sunny position, they will tolerate partial shade. Soil should be free draining. Gooseberries and currants will begin fruiting in the second year and once fully established will produce up to 4.5kg (10lb) of fruit per bush for at least 10 years. Plant 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft) apart with a 1.5-1.8m (5-6ft) gap between rows. 

 

Please note - where we quote a height on despatch, this includes the root system.

 

For better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
