Blackcurrant variety Lастівка — an early-ripening variety of blackcurrant, characterized by strong, upright shoots and a medium-sized, weakly branched bush. The berries of this variety have a shiny black color, weigh up to 4 grams, and possess an excellent tart-sweet flavor with pronounced sweetness. Fruit ripening occurs simultaneously between July 10 and 15, allowing for an early harvest.

Additionally, this variety is honey-producing, attracting bees and contributing to the production of aromatic, high-quality honey. All these qualities make blackcurrant Lастівка a profitable and practical choice for gardeners.
