Currant, Black (Titania) (Bareroot)

'Titania' black currant is a vigorous, productive shrub valued for its consistent yields of antioxidant-rich fruit. We offer this cultivar as bareroot stock for late fall and early spring dormant planting, an ideal format for establishing orchard rows or berry patches efficiently. When planted correctly before top growth begins, these shrubs settle into the site to support rapid development during the growing season.

Ribes nigrum 'Titania' is a specific cultivar selected for its resistance to white pine blister rust. This selection is noted for its ability to produce large crops year after year. While the small black fruits are known for their high vitamin C content and pleasant sour flavor, the plant itself is robust and reliable in various growing setups.

Suitable for edible landscaping and agroforestry systems, this shrub reaches a mature height of 4 feet with a 3-foot spread. It thrives in well-drained, loamy soil and performs best in full sun, though it can also produce fruit in partial shade. Growers in USDA hardiness zones 3–8 will find it to be a hardy addition to the landscape.

Choosing bareroot plants allows for straightforward handling and planting during the dormant season. With proper care, 'Titania' establishes readily to provide a steady source of flavorful berries. This stock is ready for installation into a well-prepared site.
