One of the earliest redcurrant cultivars to ripen, it is a reliable and vigorous grower that produces heavy yields year after year, making it a fantastic choice for kitchen gardens, allotments and fruit borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis self-fertile variety means you only need one plant to produce fruit, though planting alongside other redcurrant varieties can help improve yields further. The attractive strings of glistening red berries are perfect for jams, jellies, sauces, desserts and juicing.
