Description
Big Ben Blackcurrant is an award-winning, early season variety that truly lives up to its name. Its exceptionally large fruits can grow up to 2 or 3 times the size of other blackcurrants! It is also very high-yielding when mature so is an excellent choice for a bountiful harvest. Big Ben's fruits are soft and shiny with a delectably sweet flavour, best enjoyed straight from the bush but can be used for cooking as well.
Self-fertile with an upright shape and an approx. height and spread of 1.5 x 1.5 metres in 20 years. An ideal choice for wildlife friendly gardens, having received RHS Plants for Pollinators status.
