Probably the rarest variety in our collection, this ancient Redcurrant variety arose in Italy in the mid 1800’s.
It has faults and merits so is best suited to the enthusiast.
A vigorous though upright growing bush, the flowers are early so it is better suited to an enclosed environment or maybe grown as a cordon against a wall. The berries are large, thin skinned,of excellent quality and have a truly lovely flavour. The strigs are quite short though and the berries do not hang long on the bush. A Redcurrant to be enjoyed as soon as they ripen.
Early season. Superb flavour.

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.
