ABSTRACT:
A new and distinct cultivar of black currant (i.e., Ribes nigrum L.) is provided. The cultivar forms attractive very large deep black glossy berries in good yields that are amenable to mechanical harvesting. A vigorous and compact growth habit commonly is exhibited. A cup-shaped plant commonly is formed wherein slightly fewer branches are present at the center. The new cultivar flowers early and the berries mature early. Good resistance to American gooseberry mildew is exhibited. The new cultivar is well suited for consumption when freshly picked or can be canned to form jams, preserves, conserves, etc.
