Description

A cross between a gooseberry and a blackcurrant, combining the size of a gooseberry with the flavour of blackcurrant. The self-fertile bushes produce good crops of fruit that matures in July or August. You can eat fruit straight from the bush or use it in desserts and preserves. These deciduous bushes are vigorous and spineless.
