Golden currant ZARINA is a mid-season variety with bright orange-yellow berries, distinguished by their round shape and medium skin thickness, ensuring good storage capability of the fruits. The berries have a sweet taste with a sugar content of about 13.5%, low acidity, and high vitamin C content, making them beneficial and delicious for fresh consumption, as well as for culinary use and beverage preparation. Berry weight varies from 1.5 to 3 grams, indicating a relatively large fruit size.
ZARINA variety bushes are vigorous, medium density, and semi-spreading, which facilitates care and harvest collection. The plant has high winter hardiness, drought resistance, and heat tolerance, allowing it to be successfully cultivated in a temperate climate on fertile soils. Disease and pest resistance is at the level of standard varieties, reducing the need for intensive plant protection.
To ensure abundant fruiting, it is recommended to plant at least two varieties of golden currant, as ZARINA is a cross-pollinated variety. This promotes better pollination and increased yield. Due to its decorative qualities and versatile purpose, golden currant ZARINA is suitable both for garden cultivation and for use in the food industry.
