Blackcurrant Magnus
$23.99
Ribes nigrum ‘Magnus’ (Blackcurrant)
Vigorous, upright growing, deciduous shrub. Large-sized, juicy berries ripening late December to February. Excellent grown in a container on the deck where you can harvest and eat directly! Self fertile, but yields increase when two or more are planted. Grows approximately 2m high x 1.5m wide.
Soft green leaves, when crushed, have a strong currant flavour. Currant Magnus has a tart, sharp taste, although sweeter when fully ripe. Eat fresh or freeze whole, make into jelly, jam, juice or add to ice cream, cordial and liqueur.
Full sun. Plant in well drained soil. For an extra good start, incorporate compost to the soil and mulch after planting to support a healthy root system. Requires good winter chilling hours. Prune late winter. Fertilise in early autumn.
