The Ben Sarek® is a highly productive, early-season, self-fertile, compact fruit bush. 

 

Description

This small Blackcurrant displays clusters of pale green flowers in spring, attracting wildlife. The Ben Sarek's blossoms give way to an abundance of large, juicy, black fruits from mid-season. The fruits are perfect for eating fresh or in jams, jellies and pies. The Ben Sarek® is a small fruit brush with a compact form. 

 

This Blackcurrant is a fairly-tolerant addition, suitable for small gardens and is often planted in cottage or informal gardens. The Ben Sarek® will grow in most conditions but prefers sheltered areas in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. 

 

After Care

Blackcurrants require moderate maintenance. Prune dead, diseased, damaged, congested or crossing shoots; heavy pruning should be carried out during the dormant season and promote new growth in the following season—water only in extremely hot or dry periods.

 

Size 

After 2-3 years, the bush can reach a height of 1-1.5m with a 1-1.5m spread.
