Ribes nigrum 'Consort'
The Ribes nigrum 'Consort', commonly known as the 'Consort' blackcurrant, is a deciduous fruit bush with an upright, dense habit, renowned for its remarkable hardiness and increased disease resistance. Adapted to cold climates, it produces abundant clusters of matte black, aromatic fruits in summer. Its greenish spring blossoms, discreet but melliferous, attract pollinators and promote regular fruit set. Its bright green, slightly aromatic foliage effectively structures fruit hedges and Nordic vegetable gardens. Ribes nigrum 'Consort' prefers full sun to partial shade and rich, cool, well-drained soil to optimize yield and quality. Ideal for processing, it is a reliable and robust variety for home production.
