Ribes nigrum 'Ben Nevis' is a cultivar of the blackcurrant plant, known for its juicy and flavorful berries. The berries have a deep purple-black color and a sweet-tart taste that is commonly used for making jams, jellies, syrups, and baked goods. The Ben Nevis cultivar is popular in gardens in Ireland due to its hardiness and high yield of fruit. It is a relatively compact plant that grows to a height of around 1.5 meters, making it suitable for smaller gardens or container growing. The plant is deciduous, meaning it loses its leaves in the winter, but in the spring, it produces beautiful green foliage that provides a lush backdrop to the bountiful fruit it produces.

Why we like it:

  • High-yield of delicious and versatile fruit that can be used in various culinary applications
  • Hardy and easy to grow, making it suitable for gardeners of all levels of experience
  • Compact size makes it ideal for smaller gardens or container growing

What to know:

  • Plant blackcurrant bushes in a sunny or partially shaded area with well-draining soil
  • Prune bushes in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth and higher yields of fruit
  • Blackcurrants are ready for harvest in mid to late summer when they are fully ripe and have a deep purple-black color
  • The plant is self-fertile, meaning it does not need another plant for pollination
  • Protect the plant from birds during the fruiting period by covering it with a net or other protective covering

Height and Spread:

  • Height: Up to 1.5 meters
  • Spread: Up to 1.5 meters
