An old variety, grown since before 1847, but long since almost disappeared. We are very pleased to be able to offer this superb old variety that excels for dessert, pies and preserve use. The bushes are medium sized and very erect with well spaced branches, and the fruits are normally produced on short trusses with very large sized berries of superb exhibition quality. A true Goliath among blackcurrants. Cropping mid-season, the fruits ripen evenly and hold on the bush well,. giving a good crop of very high quality. The flavour is quite superb. Sweet, luscious, thin skinned fruits that are always bound to give pleasure. Goliath is a very old variety and is thought to be synonymous with the even older varieties Victoria and Edina. After many years’ searching, we finally located stock of this old variety in Europe and our propagations now enable us to offer this variety again. A superb variety for garden culture, and a must for the connoisseur. Grown from European certified stock.







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
