Ribes nigrum 'Baldwin'
Blackcurrants are easy to grow, bearing masses of dark purple to black fruits in mid-summer. They have a tart flavour and are loaded with vitamin C. Eat them fresh off the bush or use them in pies, cordials and jams. Blackcurrants can be grown in open soil, or in containers.
Ribes nigrum 'Baldwin' was the main cultivar used in the blackcurrant industry for many years, but has now largely been replaced by more high-cropping varieties. 'Baldwin' has a mild flavour, but it is susceptible to diseases including mildew, and the flowers are sensitive to damage by spring frosts.
