About Titania
Titania is a modern Swedish black currant notable for very high productivity, large black berries, and strong resistance to white pine blister rust and powdery mildew. The fruit is aromatic and tart, well suited to juice, baking, and preserves.
Growing Titania Currant
Titania is a good choice for Zones 3 to 7 and tolerates colder sites well. Plant in full sun, prune annually to renew canes, and harvest in midseason after the berries turn fully black; it is self-fertile but benefits from a compatible black currant nearby.
