    Description


    Blackcurrant 'Ebony' - This blackcurrant variety is often considered to be the sweetest one! Blackcurrant 'Ebony' can be eaten and enjoyed straight from the plant when ripe. Its one of the largest blackcurrants which can be harvested from July, made easy by its excellent spreading habit. Easy to grow and resistant to mildew.

    Estimated time to cropping once planted: 16-20 months (4-8 months for cordon plant) Estimated time to best yields: 16-20 months.

    Ideal For: Kitchen Garden, Wildlife Gardens Hardiness: Hardy Position In: Full sun Height: Up to 120cm Spread: Up to 120cm Blackcurrant 'Ebony' is supplied as either 1 Bare Root or in 1 x 3 Litre Pot.

    We supply established, healthy 1-year old bareroot pre-pruned plants which will quickly establish once planted. Cordon - Ideal for small gardens as they take up little space planted against walls and fences. Each tree becomes a trunk with short side branches on which fruit forms.

    Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

    How To Grow


    Blackcurrants prefer a position in full sun but will tolerate semi shade. Shelter from cold winds and late spring frosts as these conditions may damage the flowers, and reduce the yield of fruit later in the year. Grow blackcurrants in rich, moist, well drained soil. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure into the ground prior to planting. Plant blackcurrant bushes between late autumn and spring, at a distance of 1.5m (5') apart and a depth of 5cm (2") lower than the soil mark on the stem. Planting blackcurrants slightly deep will encourage the production of extra stems from below ground level.

    More Info


    After planting, reduce the stems to 2 buds above ground level to promote sturdy new growth. Keep blackcurrant plants well watered during dry periods, particularly as the fruits are developing. Netting the bushes will help to protect the currants from birds. Blackcurrants can be harvested from July. After the first season, prune out any thin or weak shoots. In the following years prune out any damaged or weak shoots before removing 20% of the remaining stems to create an open bush, and encourage fresh new shoots to develop. Culinary note: Blackcurrants are delicious when eaten fresh in a fruit salad or added to a colourful and tasty summer pudding. Suitable for freezing.
