Ribes nigrum 'Ben Tirran'
Ribes nigrum 'Ben Tirran', also known as 'Ben Tirran' blackcurrant, is a deciduous fruiting shrub prized for its high productivity and the quality of its well-balanced blackcurrants. It forms a vigorous and dense bush that integrates easily into vegetable gardens or fruiting hedges. In spring, small greenish to pinkish flowers attract pollinators and signal abundant fruiting. The clusters bear juicy, deep black berries, known for their sweeter and less tart flavor than many other blackcurrant varieties. This characteristic makes them pleasant for fresh consumption as well as for preparing desserts, jams, and juices. The fruits are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. The dark green foliage emits a characteristic aromatic scent when crushed.
