Make way for the Laxton's Giant Black Currant! This variety was introduced in England in 1946 and is a true showstopper. Boasting large, juicy currants with thin skin, this plant is an early ripener and heavy producer. With its long clusters of fruit, harvesting is a breeze. Trust us, this is a must-have for any garden or orchard.

Partially self-fertile plants produce best with another variety for cross-pollination. Bushes will grow to 4'-5’ tall. We offer well-rooted 1-year bushes. Cold hardy to USDA Zone 3 (-40F). Partially self fertile, get 2 different varieties for higher production.
