Cultivar Overview

‘Titania’ is a premium Swedish blackcurrant cultivar developed for high productivity, excellent winter hardiness and improved disease resistance. It produces large, glossy black berries with a rich aromatic flavour and high juice content, making it equally suitable for fresh use, preserves, juices and freezing.

Its vigorous growth and adaptability make it one of the most reliable blackcurrant varieties for Irish gardens and small fruit plantations.  

⸻

Plant Type

Own-root shrub

Unlike grafted fruit trees, blackcurrants are grown on their own root system.

⸻

Mature Plant Size

* Height: 1.5–1.8 metres
* Spread: 1.2–1.5 metres

A naturally upright habit makes harvesting and maintenance straightforward.  

⸻

Planting Distance

* 1.5 metres between plants
* 2–2.5 metres between rows

Adequate spacing improves air circulation, reduces disease pressure and allows easy access during harvesting.

⸻

Site Selection

‘Titania’ performs best in cool, sunny locations with fertile, moisture-retentive soil.

Choose a planting site with:

* Full sun for maximum yields
* Light afternoon shade is acceptable during hot summers
* Shelter from strong winds
* Consistently moist but well-drained soil
* Good air circulation

Unlike many fruit crops, blackcurrants tolerate cooler sites well and generally perform reliably throughout Ireland.  

⸻

Soil Requirements

Ideal growing conditions include:

* Fertile loam or clay-loam

Avoid prolonged drought, as blackcurrants have relatively shallow root systems and benefit from mulching to conserve moisture.

‘Titania’ is self-fertile.

A single plant will produce a reliable crop.

However, planting more than one blackcurrant cultivar may improve pollination and extend the harvest season.

Professional Growing Advice

Blackcurrants produce their highest-quality crops on two- and three-year-old wood. To maintain vigorous growth and consistent yields, remove one-quarter to one-third of the oldest stems each winter, encouraging the development of strong new basal shoots. Annual mulching with well-rotted compost helps conserve soil moisture, improves soil structure and supports long-term productivity.
