This exciting newer cultivar from Belarus is a cross of Ribes nigrum x ridikuscha. It comes highly recommended by Lee Reich, the notable New York horticulturalist and author. Like Blackdown, Belaruskaja has enough sugar content to make it a premier fresh eating variety. A consistent producer of mid-sized berries, good rust resistance, just a great black currant - as long as you don't twist your tongue trying to pronounce the name!

SELF-FERTILE / ZONE 3 / HARVEST: LATE JULY - EARLY AUGUST

Growing Tips

Currant, Gooseberry Growing Tip

Are the leaves disappearing on your currant or gooseberry bush in early summer? Most likely the currant sawfly larvae are at work. The British have a simple prevention that works surprisingly well. Spread a thin layer of wood ashes around the base of the shrub. Some local gardeners use straw and claim it works better yet.


Product Overview
Currants (Ribes) These shade tolerant bushes produce an abundance of nutrient packed berries that are especially high in vitamin C. When eaten fresh, black currants have a very pungent and distinctive flavour that is definitely an acquired taste but they make the most delicious jams. The red, pink, and white varieties are much milder tasting. Bareroot plant
