This variety, introduced by the Scottish Crop Research Institute, is a member of the \u201cBen\u201d series and is an excellent choice for fruit bush enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<h3>Features:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Height and growth<\/strong>: This medium-sized shrub can reach a height of 1 to 1.5 meters. It has a bushy, upright growth habit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leaves and flowers<\/strong>: The shrub has hand-shaped, green leaves that turn yellow in autumn. In April, the flowers appear in clusters, which are green with a red-purple hue. These are pollinated by bumblebees and bees.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fruit<\/strong>: The &#039;Big Ben&#039; produces very large, juicy blackcurrants with a weight of up to 2.5 grams per berry, which is considerably larger than the average blackcurrant. The berries have a strong cassis aroma and are suitable for both direct consumption and processing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Harvest time<\/strong>: The berries ripen in early August, which is an early harvest time for blackcurrants. The yield is high, and the shrub is self-pollinating, so no second shrub is needed for fruiting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Advantages:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hardy and robust<\/strong>: The shrub is very hardy and can withstand temperatures down to -18 \u00b0C. It is rarely affected by diseases and requires minimal care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance<\/strong>: Regular pruning is necessary to remove crossing branches and keep the shrub open. This promotes air circulation and reduces disease pressure. Some compost and a layer of mulch annually help to keep the soil moist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use<\/strong>: Ideal for processing into jams, juices, and other culinary applications. The &#039;Big Ben&#039; is also an excellent choice for hobby cultivation, thanks to its high yield and excellent taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Location and care:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Light<\/strong>: This shrub prefers a sunny to semi-shady location.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bottom<\/strong>: Grows best in well-drained, moist soil. A layer of mulch helps keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Care tips<\/strong>: To keep the shrub healthy, it is important to prune it regularly and provide it with sufficient water, especially in dry periods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Ribes nigrum &#039;Big Ben&#039; is a perfect choice for any garden enthusiast looking for a robust and productive blackcurrant with large, tasty fruits.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ribes Nigrum &#039;Big Ben&#039;<\/p>\n<p>Blackcurrant<\/p>\n<p>Max height: 150cm<\/p>\n<p>delivery height: 60 cm<\/p>\n<p>Pot size : 2L pot<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":42691,"template":"","meta":{"_joinchat":[]},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[41,262,234],"product_tag":[2091,2039,1358,1198,2093,2090,1275,610,1190,2092,351,316,662],"class_list":{"0":"post-42688","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-aalbessen","7":"product_cat-bomen-struiken","8":"product_cat-fruitstruiken","9":"product_tag-bladverliezende-struik","10":"product_tag-culinaire-toepassingen","11":"product_tag-fruitstruik","12":"product_tag-grote-bessen","13":"product_tag-hobbystuiken","14":"product_tag-ribes-nigrum-big-ben","15":"product_tag-tuinieren","16":"product_tag-tuinplant","17":"product_tag-vroege-oogst","18":"product_tag-vruchtbaar","19":"product_tag-winterhard","20":"product_tag-zelfbestuivend","21":"product_tag-zwarte-bes","22":"pa_ewd_uwcf_colors-rood-2","23":"pa_groeihoogte-60-150-cm","24":"pa_pot-1-5-liter-pot","26":"first","27":"outofstock","28":"taxable","29":"shipping-taxable","30":"purchasable","31":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ribes Nigrum &#039;Big Ben&#039;, Zwarte bes, Hoogte 60cm, 2 liter pot kopen | Planten eenvoudig online bestellen | Schramas.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.schramas.com\/en\/shop\/ribes-nigrum-big-ben-black-currant-height-60cm-2-liter-pot\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ribes Nigrum &#039;Big Ben&#039;, Zwarte bes, Hoogte 60cm, 2 liter pot kopen | Planten eenvoudig online bestellen | Schramas.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Ribes Nigrum &#039;Big Ben&#039;
