Rex Brennan cultivar release

NAMED FOR= Scottish mountain The Ben Hope is an above average yielding black currant variety, that is vigorous and tall, developed at the Scottish Crop Research Institute. Depending on wind conditions, the Ben Hope may require a sheltered site. Considered by many to be the best flavoured fruit of all SCRI varieties, it shows good resistance against the foliar diseases and has a good resistance to both mildew and leaf spot. In Prince Edward Island this variety seems highly susceptible to a variety of White Pine Blister Rust which completely covers the crop and reduces future yields. The Ben Hope flowers 2 days after Ben Lomond and can usually be harvested 10 days later than the Ben Lomond variety. Ben Hope yields are consistently high. They produce medium sized berry with good sensory qualities and the fruit is acceptable for commercial production.
