Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Large, aromatic blackcurrant with the typical tart cassis flavour; excellent for juice, jelly and cordial.

Low, compact habit makes it space-saving and easy to harvest; late-flowering and thus less frost-prone.
