Blackcurrant 'Ben Nevis'

Blackcurrant Ben Nevis, also known as Ribes Nigrum Ben Nevis, is a variety of blackcurrant fruit plant. Green, deciduous foliage is accompanied in spring by small, white flowers, before fruits begin to ripen throughout the summer months and are ready to harvest in July. These blackcurrants are large and deep purple in colour, with an excellent, tart flavour.

Plant these fruit plants in moist, well-drained acidic soil in a sunny spot in the garden, in open soil or a container. Blackcurrants are packed with vitamin C and can be eaten fresh from the plant, or they are excellent in jams, pies, pastries, and other sweet dishes!
