Hardy, high yielding, good quality fruit of the Scottish Ben series. A new black currant variety bred by the Scottish Crop Research Institute and is a cross between a Ben Sarek and Ben Lomond. Its large, deep black berries have a high yield and a compact growth habit, suitable for mechanical fruit harvesting. It was also the highest yielding variety in the UK National Trials. Though not ideally suited for juice production, it is excellent for canning, jams, preserves, conserves, and consuming fresh. Nice balance of sweetness to acidity.
