Currant Black Collection (3 bare-root plants)

Currant Black Collection is a curated selection of blackcurrant bushes chosen for strong performance and generous harvests of intensely aromatic, deep-black berries. Blackcurrants are prized for their rich, bold flavour, making them ideal for juices, syrups, jams, desserts, and freezing, while also being a smart choice for home gardens and productive berry rows. Planted together, the bushes form a compact, high-yielding fruit feature with plenty of seasonal use in the kitchen. The dark, glossy berries add a beautiful “harvest look” to the garden and pair especially well with other summer fruits in mixed recipes and preserves.

The plants grow to a height of about 120–180 cm (47–71 inches), depending on variety and pruning, and produce berries about 0.8–1.2 cm across in deep purple-black to black tones. Their sturdy, shrub-form growth fits neatly into edible borders and dedicated berry patches, while the heavy clusters make picking efficient once the crop is ripe. Harvest typically runs from July to August, and the collection performs best in full sun to light partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil kept evenly moist during flowering and fruit swelling. Annual late-winter pruning helps keep bushes open, vigorous, and consistently productive for years.
