Titania Black Currant

Titania is a vigorous productive black currant bred in the 1980s by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences from Consort, Kajaanin Musta, and Altai Dessert. It is known for resistance to white pine blister rust and powdery mildew.

The large firm berries have a mildly sweet flavour and tend to ripen together around July. They are used fresh and for juice, jam, and preserves. Titania is partly self fertile but can produce better yields with another black currant nearby for cross pollination.
