The Coronet black currant is a newer cultivar that comes from the Canadian breeding program. It is resistant to white pine blister rust and has medium-sized berries that ripen early in the season. Though the berries are slightly bitter, it is an excellent choice for drying and preserves due to its great processing qualities.

USDA Zone: 3-8
