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 'Ebony' is a disease-resistant blackcurrant variety, bearing heavy crops of incredibly sweet, large currants – up to twice the size of a normal blackcurrant – from early to mid-July. Plants have a slightly open, spreading habit, enabling easy picking.
