The fruit is large and luscious, and is produced in profusion on huge ‘strigs’, from mid July and through August – producing up to 2.7kg (6 lb) from a single mature plant in a season. Ideal for freezing. If you only have room for one Redcurrant it has to be this one! Grown from certified stock.
Growing Information
Redcurrants prefer a position in full sun but will tolerate semi shade. Shelter from cold winds and late spring frosts as these conditions may damage the flowers, and reduce the yield of fruit later in the year. Grow redcurrants in rich, moist, well drained soil. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure into the ground prior to planting. Plant redcurrant bushes between late autumn and spring, at a distance of 1.5m (5′) apart and a depth of 5cm (2″) lower than the soil mark on the stem. Planting redcurrants slightly deep will encourage the production of extra stems from below ground level.
