Plant Description

Ribes nigrum BLACK is a compact and vigorous black currant variety known for its richly flavored berries. This deciduous shrub typically reaches a height of 20-60 cm and features deep green, lobed leaves that exude a distinct aroma when crushed. In spring, it produces clusters of small, pale green to yellow flowers, which give way to glossy, dark purple to black berries in summer. These berries are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, making them ideal for fresh eating, juicing, jams, and baking. The plant’s compact size and productive nature make it suitable for small gardens and containers.
