REDCURRANTS

Redcurrants are now included in the Ministry certification scheme.

*JUNIFER

A new, very early heavy cropping redcurrant with large evenly spaced strings of attractive shiny red berries. Lovely sweet flavour, the fruits are ideal for all purposes. A healthy reliable cropper which has cropped consistently well for us over the last 3 years. Recommended.

JONKHEER VAN TETS

One of the first to ripen, providing a very large crop of large, bright fruits, sweet and juicy, makes a large bush, sometimes too large on the better soils. Best grown as a cordon.

*LAXTON No.1

Very early season. A strong grower and reliable cropper in all districts. Long bunches of very large crimson berries, ideal for all purposes. This variety consistently provides us with a heavy crop of quality fruit.

FAYS PROLIFIC

An old variety re-introduced. Large clusters of brilliant berries. Good flavour, very early. Prone to wind damage.

*STANZA

A mid-season variety with long trusses of large deep red fruit of superb quality and flavour, A very heavy crop of exhibition standard, flowers late reducing the risk of spring frosts.

*RED LAKE

Mid-season. An upright, moderately vigorous grower, providing a heavy crop. The fruit is borne in long trusses and is large, sweet and juicy.

REDNOSE

A new heavy yielding mid season variety from Europe which we introduced to selected customers only last season. Initial reports are already very encouraging and we feel this variety deserves general release. Rednose forms a good upright bush which does well on most soils and the yield has been very good. The well filled strings of very evenly sized berries are easy to pick and the flavour is very sweet. Recommended.

ROVADO

A Dutch variety with a good flavour. In our trials, Rovada has produced exceptionally heavy crops in late July, early August. This variety could prove to he the heaviest cropping of all varieties.

RONDOM: LATE SEASON

A heavy cropper, providing good flavoured, quality fruit. In trials this variety has proved best in windy, exposed sites as the bush is not so prone to loss of the side shoots in strong winds. The fruits are rather dry.

*REDSTART

A new variety of redcurrant from East Malling Research Station, quite a breakthrough in research as Redstart is the first variety raised in this country for more years than we care to remember! Redstart was, however, well worth waiting for. The bright red fruits are produced in long strings and cover the bush in a mass of colour when in full fruit. The yield is very, very heavy and has proved consistent. Heavy trusses of medium sized fruits are produced on a well shaped, upright bush and have an excellent flavour. Redstart is unique in its later cropping period, producing its crop in mid August. If you take your holidays in late July/early August, then this is the variety for you! Redstart is a new variety with a great future, propagated from Ministry certified stock. Highly recommended.
