The blackcurrant Ribes nigrum 'Titania' is a popular variety and highly appreciated for its remarkable characteristics. This variety is known for its vigor, resistance to diseases and pests, as well as for its high productivity. 'Titania' produces large fruits, intense black in color, with a sweet-sour taste, very aromatic, ideal both for fresh consumption and for processing into jams, juices and other preparations.
The 'Titania' shrub has a strong growth and can reach heights of 1-2 meters, making it relatively easy to care for and harvest. The leaves are dark green, and the small and discreet flowers appear in spring, followed by the formation of fruits that ripen in mid-summer.
One of the most important characteristics of the 'Titania' variety is its resistance to common diseases, including powdery mildew and rust, which reduces the need for phytosanitary treatments and facilitates ecological cultivation. It is also resistant to low temperatures, which makes it suitable for a wide range of climatic zones.
For the best results, 'Titania' should be grown in well-drained soils, rich in organic matter, in a sunny or partially shaded place. Although it is a partially self-fertile variety, cross-pollination with other blackcurrant varieties can contribute to increasing fruit production.
