Gooseberry Dawn

The 'Dawn' (Red East) blackcurrant variety is a new late-maturing hybrid, distinguished by its excellent taste and high yield. The berries are large, oval-shaped, red, weighing between 6 to 10 grams, with individual fruits reaching up to 12-14 grams. The berries have a dessert-like sweet-tart flavor with a harmonious balance, and small seeds are barely noticeable when eaten. The skin is thin but firm, ensuring good transportability and long-term storage of quality even after falling.

The bushes are of medium height, with moderate branching and nearly thornless canes, significantly simplifying harvest. Plants begin to bear fruit as early as the second year after planting, with an average yield of about 7 kg per bush. The variety is highly winter-hardy and resistant to diseases such as anthracnose and powdery mildew, allowing cultivation in harsh climates without winter protection.

Moreover, 'Dawn' blackcurrant is low-maintenance but responds well to timely and proper care, which helps achieve consistent, high-quality yields. Due to its excellent taste, high yield, resistance to adverse conditions, and ease of harvesting, this variety is popular both among gardeners and in the market.
