Storklas Black Currant (Ribes nigrum)

Storklas black currant is a Swedish selection that delivers long strings of dark berries with a clean, sweet tart juice ideal for pressing, preserves, and freezing. Bushes stay upright and compact, keeping rows tight for machine or hand harvest. Grow in full sun to light shade with fertile, moisture-retentive soil; mulch yearly to hold moisture and suppress weeds.

Storklas shows strong tolerance to powdery mildew and leaf spot, responds well to renewal pruning in stool beds, and performs reliably in windy shelter belts or high density planting.

Hardiness: Zone 3
