Narrative
`Ben Gairn, released in 1997, has resistance to reversion virus, a disease which renders the plant sterile and therefore non-fruiting. The resistance is derived from a Russian variety, 'Golubka' (pollen parent) which was crossed to 'Ben Alder' to produce 'Ben Gairn'. The cross was done at at SCRI. This resistance should enable the life expectancy of plants and plantations in Europe to be extended. This variety is very early in both flowering and ripening. Ben Gairn. Early ripening, revirsion-resistant black currant. Origin: developed in Scotland by Rex Brennan of the Scottish Crop Research Institute. Invergowrie, Dundee. Ben Alder x Golubka. Tested as F4/1/67. Introduced in 1997. Plant variety rights in Europe are held by SmithKline Beecham Plc. Fruit: quality is good for juice although vitamin C content is lower than in some black currants. Berry size is fairly large. Plant: Growth habit is compact and flowering is early. 7 days before Ben Lomond. May risk frost damage in some years. Harvest is 8 - 10 days before Ben Lomond. Resistant to foliar diseases.
