Blackcurrants are quite sour for fresh eating, but more and more people are getting used to it and appreciate the complex taste! Of course, the berries are also wonderful fruit for jam or juice and... very healthy! The vitamin C content is impressive and very welcome in winter. Many health-promoting effects are attributed to this berry (see internet). In case of late night frost, the flowering shrub can use some protection. Wellington XXX is an old, reliable, self-pollinating variety. Preventive protection against mildew is recommended, for example with 805000 or 805100. When planted together with another variety, the production per bush will be higher!
