Fortuna

Black currant of the Fortuna variety is a late-ripening variety with powerful, straight shoots and tall, semi-spreading bushes. The plant is distinguished by its vigorous growth and high yield, making it attractive to gardeners. The bushes have good drought resistance and hardiness, allowing them to successfully withstand low temperatures, although covering seedlings for protection against frost is recommended in the first few years after planting.

The berries of the Fortuna variety are large, weighing from 4 to 8 grams, with a glossy black skin and a rounded shape. The taste of the berries is acid-sweet, with a characteristic currant aroma that is quite strong and pleasant. The berries detach dry, which facilitates harvest collection. The berries contain a large number of small seeds.

The variety is characterized by high resistance to fungal diseases and pests, including rust, grey mold, powdery mildew, verticillium wilt, spot, and anthracnose. It also resists pests such as sawfly, spider mite, aphids, geometrid moths, and galls. High self-fertility of the variety ensures stable fruiting without the need for additional pollination.
