Complex from more than two hundred varieties black currant choose the most suitable one for your site. There are the largest-fruited, productive, early, sweet ones - it’s worth trying all the best that was bred by domestic and foreign breeders.

How to choose currants for planting on the site

When selecting a variety, you must consider the following:

  • how drought-resistant it is;
  • how adapted to frost and temperature changes;
  • period of flowering and fruit harvest;
  • is it demanding of care?
  • How strong is your immunity to pests and diseases?

Correlate the characteristics of the variety with temperature conditions your region, soil fertility and other features of your area and site, and then evaluate it according to your personal preferences:

  • what kind of currants do you prefer to taste: sweeter or with bright sourness;
  • will your crop be transported? To do this, it is important to know the thickness of the fruit peel and peel dryness indicators.

The largest fruited varieties

When one blackcurrant berry weighs more than 1.5 g, the variety is classified as large-fruited. Some of these varieties are also frost-resistant, easily adapting to heat and low humidity.

Vigorous

Elite large-fruited currant variety. The weight of the berries reaches 8 g. The Yadrenaya harvest ripens at the end of July, about 6 kg is collected from each bush. The advantages of the variety include:

  • dense and elastic pulp;
  • self-pollinating;
  • stable immunity to kidney mites.

Gardeners also note significant disadvantages of Yadrenaya:

  • high requirements for care, systematic pruning;
  • the need to renew the plant every 5–7 years;
  • non-uniform berries on the brush;
  • impossibility of transporting fruits;
  • sour taste of berries;
  • susceptibility to powdery mildew.

The black currant variety Yadryonaya is popular due to the large size of the berries.

But here is one of mine planted this year - the “Yadrenaya” variety, which is also not small. When my husband saw it on the bush, he asked - WHAT is it, grapes :)

Dobrynya

The weight of the largest berries of the variety is 7 g. By mid-May, currants bloom, harvesting begins after July 15. One bush can produce more than 2 kg of berries. The undeniable advantages of Dobrynya, in addition to this, include:

  • dry separation of fruits, as well as their dense peel. These features are important for ease of transportation;
  • pleasant aroma;
  • sweet and sour aftertaste;
  • plant immunity to powdery mildew.

Disadvantages of the variety:

  • young cuttings take root poorly;
  • demanding of soil care and fertility;
  • affected by kidney mites;
  • fruits ripen at different times;
  • The berries on the cluster are not uniform in size and size.

I really like the Dobrynya variety. Large berry, tasty. I was surprised by the number of berries in the first year of planting. You just want to eat this one, it’s a shame to use it for jam. I'm very pleased with her.

Selechenskaya-2 - one of the best varieties of currant - video

Black Pearl

The weight of the berry is close to 5 g. The yield is sufficient: one plant yields an average of 4 kg.

Other valuable qualities varieties:

  • the fruits are easily transported. This is facilitated by the dryness of the berries;
  • harvesting can be mechanized;
  • undemanding to agricultural technology;
  • resistant to diseases such as anthracnose and kidney mite.

Cons of Black Pearl:

  • gradual harvesting due to non-simultaneous maturation of the cluster;
  • faint currant aroma;
  • sour aftertaste.

Currant berries of the Black Pearl variety have a round shape and weigh up to 5 g

The distinctive quality of the variety is the increased content of pectin in the berries. This is relevant for those who actively use currants for jams and jellies.

The sweetest is considered to be currants, in which greatest number healthy sugars and the least amount of acids. These varieties have a pleasant taste with a slight sourness, as well as high winter hardiness.

Green haze

Variety characteristics:

  • average ripening period;
  • the berry weighs about 1.5 g;
  • yield about 4 kg;

The main disadvantage of currants is their susceptibility to pests such as bud mites.

The Green Haze variety has one of the highest sugar contents in fruits (12.2%).

Bagheera

Medium ripening variety with high yield. The berry weighs about 1.5 g and contains 10.8% sugar. Bagheera has many advantages:

  • resistance to heat and drought;
  • self-pollinating;
  • same size of fruits;
  • friendly ripening of berries;

The sweetest blackcurrant - video

Launched in the Netherlands dwarf variety black currant Ben Sarek with a bush height of no more than 90 cm (with an average currant height of 1.2–2 m). The plant is adapted to cool climates, has large berries with a wine-like, sweetish taste, and produces a stable, evenly ripening harvest.

The earliest and latest varieties

Early varieties are considered to be varieties from which you will begin harvesting in June.

Summer resident: early currants

This variety is distinguished by:

  • stable yield. The bush is self-pollinating, so it is less dependent on weather conditions and insects;
  • sweet taste. The variety will be appreciated by currant lovers, since the characteristic sour aftertaste is practically absent in the Dachnitsa berries;
  • short stature. With a high harvest, the lower branches will lie on the ground;
  • resistance to winter cold. The plant tolerates temperatures down to -32°C well, but if flowering occurs during spring frosts, the bush requires protection (smoke or shelter).

Currant berries of the early variety Dachnitsa will be especially appreciated by those who have a sweet tooth, as they have virtually no sourness.

Exotic: early variety

Advantages of the variety:

  • large fruit;
  • good winter hardiness;
  • sufficient yield (up to 3 kg per bush);
  • the comfort of picking berries due to the presence of a straight thick axis of the brush, reminiscent of a grape;
  • immunity to powdery mildew.

Cons of Exotic:

  • the plant does not tolerate drought well, so when it is hot, systematic watering is required;
  • in conditions of high humidity, berries are prone to rotting;
  • The peel of the fruit is thin, so they will not tolerate long-term transportation;
  • low immunity to fungal diseases (except powdery mildew).

Currant brushes of the early Exotic variety have a straight, thick brush axis, which greatly facilitates harvesting

Exotic currants have berries the size of cherries, I recommend them.

Ultra early variety Sorceress - video

Lazy: late currant

It got its name Lazy from the fact that it ripens in August, when the currants of other varieties have already been harvested.

Variety characteristics:

  • large-fruited, but the yield is low (about 1 kg);
  • dessert-flavored berries with a sweet aftertaste and pronounced aroma;
  • The fruits do not tolerate transportation well due to their thin peel and medium-density pulp.

Fruiting of currants of the Lazy Tay variety occurs in late July-early August

I would like to recommend another variety of black currant - Lazy.. My bush is three years old, it was fully “varietal tested” this year, in the past the berries were smaller and very few in number.. I harvested a late one, with sweet large berries, today and was pleasantly surprised taste.. I recommend it to all blackcurrant lovers in central Russia.

THE LARGEST

No matter how much experts say, a variety should be selected based on frost resistance, ripening time, disease resistance and yield. We still give preference and will continue to give it to the largest-fruited varieties.

Experts consider large-fruited varieties to be those whose berry size exceeds 1.5 g. But this is not enough for us.I want something even bigger, and there are such varieties!

The largest-fruited variety is considered to be the Yadrenaya variety bred in Siberia.Its berries reach record levels of 7-8 g and ripen in mid-July. However, the variety becomes smaller in the south, and its berries are considered very sour. Another disadvantage is that the bushes of this variety need to be rejuvenated often, and it also reproduces poorly.

To choose the right variety of this useful berry, in order for the seedlings to take root and bear fruit well, several should be taken into account important points. You need to know that they differ from each other in frost resistance, ripening period, yield and size of fruits. Therefore, before planting black currants, you need to learn as much as possible about it so as not to make a mistake in your choice. And only after that choose a suitable variety with the greatest fertility, productivity, and large sweet berries.

When choosing, it is best to see the one you like already bearing fruit and taste the berries. After that, all you have to do is just buy this one planting material. You can go the other way: buy seedlings of the one you like, suitable variety from an experienced gardener or garden society. After this, study the description, characteristics of the variety, and care rules.

Blackcurrant has many varieties with different characteristics. For example, there are dessert varieties, early or late. There are small-fruited and large-fruited currants. Today our focus is on black currants and large-fruited varieties. It is these varieties of berries popular among gardeners that we will talk to you about today. Let us immediately note that berries weighing from 1.5 g are considered large.

Large-fruited varieties

Such varieties for long years There has been a lot of selection. There are already familiar, well-known ones, and there are recently introduced ones. Let's list the most popular of all:

The varieties Krasa Lvova and Dobrynya are considered to be very high-quality, high-yielding, and large-fruited. And the Comfort variety is distinguished by its unpretentiousness and ease of cultivation.

Interesting ones that are loved by gardeners are: Sanyuta, Chereshnevaya, Yubileynaya Kopanya. A large number of Currants of the Large Litvinova variety contain vitamins. Its berries are evenly distributed over the entire surface of the brush.

If we talk about super large-fruited ones, then we can recommend the following varieties: Yadrenaya, Pygmy, Sibylla. They take root well and bear fruit: Globus, Romantika, Selechinskaya and Dobrynya.

A new, modern large-fruited variety - Yadrenaya, which was recently bred by breeders in Siberia. It is distinguished by especially large fruits - almost 7.8 g. The berries ripen by mid-July, are easily picked from the bush, and are perfectly stored during transportation. The shrub is characterized by high winter hardiness. Disadvantages include the sour taste of the fruit, as well as the need to frequently rejuvenate the bushes. In addition, difficulties may arise during reproduction.

Large-fruited, sweetest, vitamin currant

Belarusian sweet is distinguished by the minimum content of acids and the maximum content of healthy sugars. This is a variety that is not very familiar to our gardeners. But it’s worth planting it on your site. Also distinguished by very sweet berries: Excellent, Nina, Bagheera. The berries of these bushes contain almost 11% natural sugars. Therefore, they are extremely good as a dessert.

The Muravushka variety has the most vitamins. At least that's what experienced experts say. It is from these currants that the most vitamin-rich compotes are prepared, healing juice is squeezed out, and five-minute jam is made for the winter (the recipe is on our website). Another advantage of Ant is that its leaves remain green almost until frost. Therefore, many gardeners form beautiful green hedges from shrubs.

The Exotica variety is considered large-fruited, very sweet, and healthy. The weight of one berry reaches, on average, 3.5 g. Some gardeners grow berries the size of a cherry, or even larger. In their size and taste, Exotica fruits resemble Isabella grapes. Another advantage of this variety is its resistance to diseases and pests.

In addition, I would like to draw your attention to the very high-quality vitamin varieties of currants Venus and Izyumnaya. Venus is especially good for children and the elderly, as well as for anyone with dental problems. Its berries have a very thin, delicate skin and excellent taste.

Moreover, both varieties have quite high stability to diseases. Raisin currants do not fall off the branches after ripening. The berries dry right on the bush, resembling raisins in appearance. Hence the name.

If speak about large-fruited currants early ripening, it is worth stopping at the Sibylla variety. It was bred by breeders from the Urals. The weight of Sibylla berries is usually 5 g. They are tasty, filled with vitamins, and are excellent for processing. The advantages also include high yield and winter hardiness.

But the Incomparable variety is considered the most delicious among the super large-fruited blackcurrant varieties. The berries are tasty, sweet, filled with vitamins, ripen early, and their weight reaches 7.5 g. The bush is resistant to heat and has high frost resistance. Incomparable is one of the most beloved varieties among gardeners. It is also widely used for industrial production.

When choosing a suitable blackcurrant variety, you need to remember that most large-fruited super large-fruited varieties require additional watering. You especially need to monitor this during dry summers. In addition, if your site is located on light sandy soils, choose drought-resistant varieties: Nara, Perun, Dobrynya. The Izyumnaya and Gulliver varieties tolerate dry summers well.

Select the optimal variety of black currant for summer cottage– it’s not an easy matter. Because there are over 200 varieties of berry bushes. To avoid mistakes, experienced gardeners advise planting three or four plants with different periods of fruit ripening. And thus, the harvest time will last all summer, and it will also become clear: which variety is most suitable for your garden.

Black currants are classified according to the following principles:

  • according to ripening time;
  • resistance to diseases and pests;
  • purpose;
  • productivity;
  • winter hardiness;
  • taste indicators;
  • fruit size.

However, all these characteristics directly depend on climatic conditions, planting location, seedling quality, and compliance with the rules for caring for berry crops.

An equally important quality is the self-fertility of black currants. But it should be noted that the yield will fundamentally increase if several bushes are planted side by side on the site. Cross-pollination has a positive effect on the quality and size of berries.
