More about this plant
Storklas is described as a robust, regularly productive Swedish-bred black currant with sweet-sour aromatic berries. The retailer reports resistance to powdery mildew and fruit ripening from July in its European nursery context; neither statement is converted into a Manitoba trial result. Sun to partial shade and fresh to moist, nutrient-rich, well-drained soil are recommended, with calcareous conditions described as suitable. Leaves are heart-shaped, three to five lobed and sharply notched to serrated, but dimensions are unresolved. Ribes nigrum is Eurasian and not native to Manitoba.
