Blackcurrant 'Malling Jet' | Ribes nigrum
Blackcurrant 'Malling Jet' is a traditional late-cropping variety with vigorous growth and long strings of glossy black fruit. Its later harvest helps extend the blackcurrant season and the berries are well suited to jams, cordials, desserts and freezing.
Why we like it
- Late harvest extends the blackcurrant season
- Long strings of easy-to-pick black berries
- Good traditional flavour for cooking and preserving
What to know
- Grow in full sun or light partial shade.
- Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil.
- Allow plenty of space because it develops into a vigorous bush.
- Water during dry weather while fruit is swelling.
- Prune after harvest by removing some older stems to encourage new growth.
