Blackcurrant 'Ben Connan' 3 Litres
3 FOR £25
Ben Connan is an early-fruiting blackcurrant variety that is highly popular due to its exceptional fruit quality. The berries are large, glossy, and black with a deliciously rich flavour. This variety has a compact and neat growth habit, producing fruit on medium-length sprigs that are easy to pick. It is a heavy cropper and often outperforms other varieties in trials, with its branches heavily laden with fruit. Ben Connan is also highly resistant to mildew, leaf spot, and leaf-curling midge. Its exceptional frost tolerance makes it ideal for cultivation in colder climates. This variety is perfect for gardens with limited space. It is self-fertile and typically crops in early July.
