Whitecurrant Blanka Bred in the Netherlands, Whitecurrant Blanka is a new variety, increasingly in demand for its very heavy cropping. The berries are large, ivory-coloured and translucent with a sweet flavour, and can be eaten straight off the bush, or used to make a delicious pink jelly or as a very pretty garnish for cakes and puddings. They are borne on long strings, making picking easier. The bush is vigorous and spreading and a very heavy cropper. Late fruiter, extending the whitecurrant season.
