Ribes nigrum 'Resista'
Ribes nigrum 'Resista', known as 'Resista' blackcurrant, is a vigorous deciduous fruit shrub particularly valued for its good natural disease resistance and reliable production of tasty blackcurrants. Its dense, well-branched bushy habit quickly forms a productive shrub suitable for kitchen gardens, fruit hedges, or food forests. In spring, small, discreet greenish to pinkish flowers appear, attracting pollinating insects and ensuring good fruit set. The clusters bear deep black, juicy berries rich in pigments, offering a balanced flavor between acidity and the typical blackcurrant aroma. The fruits are excellent for homemade juices, jellies, jams, and syrups. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, they are a very nutritious fruit. The dark green foliage is highly aromatic when crushed, releasing the characteristic scent of blackcurrant.
