White currant 'Blanka'

FamilyGrossulariaceae

Ribes niveum 'Blanka' is a highly productive white currant variety that produces long clusters of translucent, juicy, sweet-fleshed fruits that are less acidic than red currants. Its subtle flavor and attractive appearance make it a popular fruit for direct consumption, baking, or decorating plates. Its compact, bushy habit and good disease resistance make it a reliable and decorative variety for fruit hedges or mixed vegetable gardens.
