How to Grow Blackcurrants - Linda Gray
PREPARATION
Choosing your plants:
There are a number of varieties of blackcurrants – some hybrids produce currants as large as grapes. Hybrid varieties may have a few special needs so check on any growing recommendations before you make your choice.
Have a look at these descriptions to give you an idea of the variety you'd like to grow - These are available at Thompson & Morgan at the time of writing. I think they only do UK deliveries at the moment
Ben Connan
This heavy cropping small bush variety produces large, glossy black fruits with a superb rich flavour. Blackcurrant 'Ben Connan' is early cropping, from the beginning of July, and continues to produce fruit over a long cropping
