This superb rare hybrid combines the large sweet fruit of the gooseberry with the taste and vitamin benefits of the blackcurrant. In addition it is extremely resistant to mildew, and most other diseases of this group of plants, as well as being self fertile, producing heavy crops of blackcurrant-shaped fruits which are indeed almost the size of gooseberries!
