Black Champion is a black currant listed by The Northwest Nursery Co. in a northern Plains nursery catalog from Valley City, North Dakota. The catalog describes it as a vigorous, productive bush with large, lustrous black berries. [S1]
The fruit hangs in long clusters. The pulp is described as nearly sweet and mild, with a gentler flavor than many black currants. [S1]
The catalog recommends Black Champion for jelly. It also notes that rich wine made from black currants was valued by many for medicinal use. [S1]
The bush is described as very vigorous and productive. The source gives no direct zone rating or winter survival statement for Black Champion, but it comes from a Valley City, North Dakota nursery catalog aimed at northern Plains fruit growing. [S1]
The available source gives no parentage, breeder, release date, or accession history. [S1]
