Product Description
Established around sixty years ago, the Blackcurrant Wellington XXX really has proven to be an enduringly popular choice amongst British gardeners. Easy to grow, Rubus nigrum Wellington XXX is celebrated for their high vitamin C content and can be eaten fresh, in smoothies or used within cooking for pies and jams. Whether you have a spacious fruit garden or just some space on the patio for a potted plant, this traditional variety produces heavy crops of fruit year after year. What's more, this superb specimen is also self-fertile meaning that it can produce fruits all by itself, making it the ideal choice for experienced and amateur gardeners alike. To ensure optimum yield and quality of berries, we recommend planting this well-loved Blackcurrant plant in a sunny, preferably south-facing position. Plant between late autumn and early spring and harvest during April and May for maximum sweetness of taste.
