Set a reminderCouldn't load pickup availability
Titania is a vigorous productive black currant bred in the 1980s by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences from Consort, Kajaanin Musta, and Altai Dessert. It is known for resistance to white pine blister rust and powdery mildew.
The large firm berries have a mildly sweet flavour and tend to ripen together around July. They are used fresh and for juice, jam, and preserves. Titania is partly self fertile but can produce better yields with another black currant nearby for cross pollination.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 3
Mature Size: 3 to 5 ft tall

More about this plant
A crop from one bush
Titania can set fruit without another black currant variety. Another compatible black currant nearby can improve the crop. Its berries are sweet with some acidity and tend to ripen together, which is useful when picking for juice or preserves.
Growing conditions
Titania suits full sun and moist soil with good drainage. It can grow in clay, loam or sandy soil. These conditions matter alongside winter hardiness when choosing a place for the bush.
