Blackcurrant Ben Hope. \nBred by Scottish Crop Research Ben Hope has become one of the most popular blackcurrants grown in UK gardens. \nA tall, upright, vigorous grower and very easy to manage. \nRipening in mid-July, later than other varieties Blackcurrant Ben Hope produces high yields of medium sized berries. \nThe flavour of the berries is described as outstanding, slightly sweet with a real blackcurrant aroma. \nBelieved by many to be the best tasting blackcurrant. \nHas good storage qualities and can be frozen. \nBen Hope shows a high resistance to disease not only to big bud mite but also to mildew, leaf spot and gall midge. \nThis can eliminate the need for spraying and makes it a great choice for organic gardeners. \nLike other blackcurrants Ben Hope likes a moist but well drained site in full sun but sheltered from cold winds. \nWill tolerate most soil types but in common with other currants has a strong dislike of waterlogged areas. \nCan easily attain a height and spread of 2m so Ben Hope will need more space that other blackcurrant varieties. \nPack 1 Bare-root Plant \nBrowse the other SOFT FRUIT PLANTS we have in stock. \nEnsure season \nORDER IMMEDIATELY \n \nU.K. MAINLAND  \nClaire's Allotment has some great ADVICE to help you plant your new bushes. \nWe want you to be happy with your purchase and all our Blackcurrant plants are checked and inspected visually before packing. at . .
