The berries are slightly smaller than average compared to other modern varieties however the yield is slightly above average. They ripen to a dark purple / black colour in early August. Taste is slightly tart and full-flavoured, not ideal for eating from the bush but excellent for all cooking uses. Plants grow to a height and spread of 1.2m (4ft) with an upright growth form. The plants begin to crop quickly and reach their full cropping potential after only three years although year two will also produce a very decent-sized crop. Expect the plants to crop well for 10 to 12 years. As with all blackcurrants, Ben Tirran is self-fertile and will produce a crop if grown alone.
