Overview
This popular early variety is the first whitecurrant to crop in the season. A heavy cropping variety producing masses of large, shiny, soft pale yellow/white berries in long heavy trusses during mid-late summer. The fruit is deliciously sweet, not as acidic as redcurrant, so is great for eating fresh or using in a wide range of culinary purposes. White Versailles has a vigorous, upright bushy growth habit with attractive arching canes and serrated three lobed pale green leaves. A very reliable cropper year after year. Self fertile.

- Planting: Plant 45cm (1.5ft) apart in rows 1.2m (4ft) apart. Plant in a sheltered frost-free spot, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Ensure the root ball is moist before planting. Plant in a hole twice the diameter of the root-ball or pot. Mix and organic soil improver and general fertiliser. Water regularly until established.
- Care: The best fruit is produced on previous year’s branches. Cut older canes back to ground level after fruiting, tie in newly produced canes and remove tips. Apply a general fertiliser in spring.
