Slitsa Currant

Large, flavorful, sweet, jet black fruit. One of the first currants to ripen. This disease resistant and superior variety is from Holland. It is an easy to grow upright shrub, with heavy yields, and it's very hardy -- down to -40 degrees F!! Great for fresh eating and also makes the most delicious preserves. Extremely high in vitamin C and anti-oxidants, this is one of the most nutritious berries in our collection.
