With large, sweet black fruits, this unnamed variety makes excellent jam and is the high in antioxidants & total phenolics, making it a healthy choice. Fresh eating quality of these are unknown since they are from seed. A must in the Montana garden. Never even seen the slightest sign of winter damage even when we see crazy fall frosts (-10F to -20F in October) that few other places in the country see. These may even more intense than a -40 in the middle of Jan. because the plants are often not hardened off for winter yet. Hardy to zone 2 (-40F or more).

These black currants are 2-3 ft. tall with large root systems and going on their 5th year. They’ve been in containers air pruning themselves.
