The late-season Reb Tirran Blackcurrant bush is a highly popular currant plant amongst UK gardens, well-known for its trusty, self-fertile crops.
Being a late cropping bush, the Ben Tirran blackcurrant plant is the ideal choice if wanting to increase your blackcurrant cropping season. It is a high yielding bush with averagely sized, gorgeous, juicy fruits. It's a hardy, upright, bushy plant that has fruit available from mid-to-late Summer.̴Ì?
After 2-5 years, the Ben Tirran plant can reach an ultimate height and spread of 1.5m x 1.5m.
It is best to plant your Ben Tirran bush in full sun or partial shade, and in well-draining, moist soil. Though it is not fussy about its soil type, clay, loamy, sandy, or chalky is always preferred. It is not particular about which aspect it's planted in, either, but we do recommend applying some mulch into the compost before planting.
As this is a bare root plant, soak the roots for at least 2 hours before planting, after they arrive. Plant as soon as you can. If the ground is frozen, place into a temporary pot that's filled with decent compost- once conditions have improved, move the currant plant to the ground.
Keep the plant well-watered during dry weather.̴Ì?
Your blackcurrant bush will produce the best fruits on the previous year's stems/branches. Make sure you trim back all shoos to about̴Ì?

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
